Why did The Newspaper Works create an effectiveness metric? • Newspapers are pigeon-holed for certain advertising categories and roles • Most tracking metrics are designed for TV, not newspapers • There is no recognised approach to measuring effectiveness in relation to newspapers • Need for a metric specifically designed for newspapers • improve understanding of how to use newspapers effectively • demonstrate that newspapers can help build brands and develop emotional connections • help improve the standard of newspaper creative • provide consistency in the way newspaper effectiveness is measured
The Newspaper Effectiveness Metric in summary Recognised industry measures + Newspaper measures Brand measures Ad measures • Brand Awareness • Brand Image • Brand Commitment • Brand Involvement • Brand Equity • Brand Sensitivity • Category/Brand Ad Awareness • Ad Recognition • Brand Linkage • Interest • Brand Equity Impact • Roles Of Advertising • Newspaper Creative Diagnostics • Message Take-out • Emotional Response The Newspaper Works’ effectiveness partner:

Validation of the Roles of Advertising measure The Roles of Advertising • While it is widely accepted that newspapers are effective in conveying information and generating a call to action, it is not as well understood that newspapers are powerful across a broader range of strategic roles, particularly in the area of brand building. • Six distinct, but not mutually exclusive, strategic roles that newspaper advertising can play were originally identified by the Newspaper Marketing Agency in the UK. • The Newspaper Works set out to comprehensively validate these roles in Australia with our research partner Ipsos Media CT. • A combination of qualitative and quantitative testing led to the creation of measures that identify the roles that newspaper ads can play and discriminate between them The Roles of Advertising measure demonstrates how consumers connect with newspaper advertising, and provides learnings as to how advertisers can maximise the strategic impact of their advertising
Quantitative and qualitative testing • Shaping the Roles of Advertising statements into consumer language • Nationally representative sample of n=80 • Conducted online Qualitative Testing April 2008 • Testing of the Roles of Advertising statements against a range of ads • Two-stage process, with second stage testing revised versions of some statements • Population representative sample of the five mainland state capitals • n=1628 across the two stages • Conducted online May-June 2008 Quantitative Testing The Newspaper Works’ effectiveness partner:
