relevance

Newspapers are a powerful medium
to utilise across a broad range of
strategic roles.
Six strategic advertising roles have
been validated both qualitatively
and quantitatively, resulting in the
creation of Role Map, one of two
proprietary newspaper metrics.
Role Map demonstrates how
consumers connect with newspaper
advertising across the six roles,
comparing the performance of
creative against a footprint of all ads
tested.
Statements are tailored to be appropriate to the
advertising category.
All newspaper norm
Newspapers are recognised as
an effective medium for
delivering a Call to Action.
Action Map, the third
proprietary newspaper metric,
expands on this strategic role to
provide an understanding of the
types of action a newspaper ad
inspires.
Measured via forced exposure,
people are asked about the
actions they would consider
taking (or have taken) as a result
of seeing the ad.
New measure introduced in March 2010, norm
not yet available.
Another proprietary newspaper
metric provides a set of creative
diagnostics unique to the
attributes of newspaper
advertising. They’ve been
developed to help identify
areas for improvement where
results across other brand and
advertising measures may
require further analysis and
interrogation.
Statements are tailored to be appropriate to the advertising category.
