Ebiquity launches the most in-depth study ever on the value of different media

The study, released today by the influential marketing analytics specialists, states that Advertisers should re-evaluate the use of traditional media such as radio, newspapers and magazines based on new research by the independent marketing and media consultancy.

In the first report of its kind, Re-evaluating Media reveals radio, newspapers and magazines perform significantly better than they are perceived to for brand building campaigns. TV and radio are by far the strongest advertising media for brand-building followed by newspapers, magazines and out-of-home. Yet it discovered that industry decision-makers believe that online video and social media are the second and third most effective media after TV.

Ebiquity was commissioned by commercial radio industry body Radiocentre to conduct one of the most in-depth pieces of research on the relative value of media ever undertaken. Ebiquity interviewed 116 senior executives working for brands and agencies. They were asked to rank 12 attributes of media for brand building campaigns. They were then asked which media they perceived to be best performer for each attribute.

Researchers found a significant mismatch between industry perceptions and what the evidence says.

Radio, which ranks second overall to TV on the evidence, was the most strikingly undervalued medium, coming only sixth in the ranking of advertiser and agency perceptions.

During May, Gap Inc. began reopening stores previously closed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, with approximately 90% of its global fleet open as of August 1.

The comparable sales calculation reflects online sales and comparable sales days in stores that have reopened. Operating expenses were $1.1 billion, a decrease of $198 million versus last year, primarily due to a decrease in store payroll and benefits and other store expenses resulting from store closures during the quarter. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses were 32.9%, an increase of 1.1 percentage points driven by lower net sales. Operating income was $73 million or 2.2% of net sales.

Don’t Look Now, But Some Newspapers Are Breaking Even

It says a lot about the state of the newspaper industry that it’s considered good news when a publisher breaks even, in light of the constant drumbeat of advertising losses, with print dollars exchanged for digital pennies. Newspaper watchers were pleasantly surprised when the Daily Mail and General Trust, the British publisher of the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday, announced total revenues were up 1%. The real good news tucked inside the Mail announcement: Digital advertising revenues were up 22% or £19 million, more than offset the decline in print, down 11% or £15 million. That last development bucks the general trend in the newspaper industry on both sides of the Atlantic over the last few years. Growth in digital ad revenues has generally failed to offset print declines – at least until recently. Click Read More below for more of the story.
