All iconic campaigns over the years have launched in Newspapers. The masters of advertising; the Icons – David Ogilvy, Bill Bernbach, Charles and Maurice Saatchi – all launched their most enduring ad campaigns in Print.
Think small - Volkswagen (DDB, 1959)
Labour isn’t working - Conservative Party (Saatchi & Saatchi, 1979)
However, we’re now in the 21st Century. Media options have proliferated for consumers and advertisers alike,
resulting in Print – our most iconic advertising channel – trying to stand out from the clutter.
And yet, when we consider the brilliance of the most iconic ad campaigns – we remember them as a full page Newspaper ad.
Further, we live in an interesting time of fake news, alternate facts and a questioning of what can be trusted.
Strong print brands have never been more relevant as demonstrated by Droga5's New York Times campaign, the first of its kind in over 10 years.
Truth is Hard - The New York Times (Droga5, 2017)
So we want you to ask yourself:
DO I HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE PEOPLE BUY MORE NEWSPAPERS?
A bit of background:
Over the past 5 years, printed newspaper circulation has experienced a decline. While this decline is slowing, it hasn’t stopped.
In spite of this, newspapers continue to reach millions of consumers daily. They hold influence when it comes to the country’s agenda and profile of personalities. Research shows that consumers trust what they read in the news* and retain the messages they absorb more so than other media.
Additionally, while digital continues to grow, it is still not capable of replacing the reach and influence of Newspapers – and will be unable to do so for some time.
All of this tells us that there is still life in the printed word. It is a trusted media for many demographics and an untapped opportunity for younger audiences.
This is your opportunity to take the challenge – and show us how we can turn this around.
For your chance to ROAR at Cannes – SHOW US THE STRENGTH OF PRINT.
