Marketing Manager, Philadelphia, UK & Ireland
“Philadelphia results across two years show that
newspapers are effective at building brand values
and delivering a significant return on advertising
investment. The combination of strong creative and
efficient deployment of media space showed us that
newspapers can deliver a strong and immediate
consumer response, both in their own right and
alongside TV.”

2007 short-term sales uplift for people exposed to any
newspaper ads was 2½ times the cost of newspaper ad
space
Up to 92% of incremental sales were influenced by
newspaper exposure
Newspapers were much stronger than TV at delivering full
price sales
Unique visitors to recipes section soared by 5292% in
Aug/Sep 2007
TV plus newspapers continued to drive brand equity and

Newspapers are perfect long-term partners to TV for building brands
TV and national newspapers –
both print and online formats –
are the perfect partnership
They are processed in different but complementary ways: TV
is more passive, newspapers involve active processing
TV and newspapers are heavily consumed in the evening;
online newspapers have high daytime access. Media profiles
are complementary
A second year of brand advertising in newspapers should
continue to deliver a strong brand impact, even with reduced
newspaper spend and smaller spaces

The 2007 campaign consisted of TV plus 6 half page newspaper ads across two bursts.
The research methodology used was pre-post tracking by Millward Brown among the same respondents (brand/category interest disguised at pre-stage), to measure changes among people seeing different media and account for any existing predispositions of any media group.
The TV and newspaper campaign drove 26% sales uplift in 2006, then 18.5% and 16% uplifts for the two 2007 bursts. £ value per burst was similar – despite moving to ½ pages in 2007 and reducing newspaper spend per burst by two-thirds.TNS Worldpanel analysis showed the value sales uplift due to the ad campaign for March/April 2007 was around 97% of the 2006 uplift. The Aug/Sep increase was worth 12% more than 2006, an impressive result given the significant reduction in newspaper insertions.
Newspaper advertising influenced 75% of incremental sales in 2006 and 92% of Aug/Sep 2007 uplift. In 2007, the pattern of response by different media exposure groups was significantly affected by timing of promotions and media flighting. The synergistic effect of TV plus newspapers was disrupted by the short overlap in Mar/Apr 2007 occurring between heavy promotions, so exposure to newspapers only affected 48% of extra sales. Similarly, TV response in Aug/Sep was depressed by preceding promotion, despite upweight.
Newspapers solus showed consistent improvement in driving sales across all 3 bursts, in spite of lower 2007 spend, rising by 23.4% in Aug/Sep 2007 burst, to account for 43% of all incremental sales due to advertising.
Newspapers drove full price sales in addition to supporting promotions – 68% of additional sales due to newspapers in 2006 and 66% in Aug/Sep 2007 were at full price (effect minimised in Mar/Apr 2007 as promotion overlapped). The immediacy of newspapers, which was exploited well by the recipe ideas campaign, offered people a significantly stronger reason to go out and buy than TV. Newspapers also reached a more brand favourable – and thus potentially less price sensitive – audience. TV’s primary strength was in generating promotional sales. TNS recommend that the two media are carefully timed to take advantage of the promotional effect – TV to drive promotional sales, solus at first and then in combination with newspapers; followed by newspapers solus to drive full price sales.
The campaign clearly sparked consumer interest in finding more Philly recipe ideas. Newspapers drove 228% increase in traffic to the Philadelphia website in Mar/Apr 2007 – 167% from online newspaper sites and 61% from print format. In Aug/Sep 2007 the uplift was 160% – 67% via online newspapers and 93% via paper versions. Unique visitors to the recipes section (unique url in newspapers and landing page for online newspaper ads) increased by an astonishing 5292% in Aug/Sep 2007.
Philadelphia brand equity is very strong. TV and newspapers increased the all-important Bonding level, which correlates to brand share, by 6% points over the two test years, whereas TV solus showed decline post 2007 activity.
Tracking over 2 years clearly demonstrates how adding newspapers drives purchase consideration for Philly. In 2006, brand commitment rose 4% points for the TV and newspaper group, compared with no change for the TV solus group. Commitment levels rose in April 2007, but declined after the September burst. For the year overall, only those who saw newspaper ads – either on their own or alongside TV – showed an increase in consideration. It is possible that timing of TV versus promotional activity affected commitment in the same way as it depressed the actual sales effect.
The newspaper element of the Philadelphia campaign has continued to build the core brand image, ‘Can be used as an ingredient in cooking’ during 2007. Importantly, this has given Philly a clear and increasing competitive edge against private label soft cheese.
Millward Brown’s involvement diagnosis ‘wheel’ shows how actively engaging ads are perceived to be by consumers. The preferred territory for most ads is the top of the wheel, where descriptors are both active and positive. The worst position for standout and involvement is the passive negative area at the bottom of the wheel. The grey shaded area represents the norm for TV ads. The TV ad performed well when seen on its own. However, women who also saw the newspaper campaign found the TV ad much more actively engaging than those who only saw the TV ad. Improvements in ‘interesting’, ‘distinctive’ and ‘involving’ responses are linked with higher memorability and brand response.
The Philadelphia newspaper ads remained highly actively engaging and continued to outperform TV, particularly on being ‘interesting’. However, there was a small decline in distinctive and involving perceptions in September 07 which could again indicate a need to refresh with more new recipes.
Seeing the newspaper campaign as well as the TV made the TV work harder – women seeing both media perceived the TV to be more relevant, informative and appealing, and most importantly made them more likely to buy into the brand.
Multiple newspaper executions improved the campaign’s ability to make strong emotional connections and enhance brand values. Women seeing 4 or more newspaper ads in addition to TV are 188% more likely to connect and identify strongly with the Philadelphia brand than TV solus group.
Newspapers’ immediacy and relevant context help drive re-appraisal for advertised brands. Adding just one newspaper execution to TV doubles strength of re-appraisal. Over half the group seeing TV plus 4 or more newspaper executions strongly agree that the advertising is surprising and gets them to think differently about Philly.
The Philadelphia campaign delivers a very strong reason to buy, which builds cumulatively the more newspaper executions are seen. Call to action among those seeing TV plus 4 or more newspaper ads is 2 ½ times higher than TV solus group.
