26 Page 25 Hard Fact One 85% of female newspaper readers and 83% of male readers agree that seeing adverts next to related articles makes them more memorable and relevant. BMRB Sept 2008 (Women 1378; Men 320)

27 Page 26 Topical ads in newspapers can boost impact by 5% points The NMA tested responses of women to 75 cosmetics and toiletries ads, including 12 topical ads. The average score for the topical ads was 5% points higher than the average of all the ads. Hard Fact Two BMRB Sept 2008 (Women, 75 ad sample 1378, topical ad sample 1277)

28 Page 27 Hard Fact Three By being relevant to the topic that the audience is interested in at that time, the chances of the marketing message entering the workspace are maximised, so it can have more effect...this strongly supports the notion of placing advertising in topic-relevant spots. Jane Raymond and Graham Page, University of Wales/Millward Brown Cognitive Neuroscience Marketing & Research, 2006

29 Page 28 Hard Fact Four In neuroscience, the theory is that brands are built by creating or modifying the tags associated with the brand. The rub for newspapers is that, section by section, they provide a context which on a good day helps brands achieve this. David Fletcher, Head of MediaLab at Mediaedge CIA, Campaign, Jan 2007

30 Page 29 Hard Fact Five Readers appreciate the relevance of well placed ads as research for a selection of Swine Flu ads demonstrates: 92% agreed that “It was clever to remind me of their anti-viral products on the same page as the NHS advice.” 73% “It made these brands stand out as more relevant and trustworthy than other brands.” 72% “Seeing alongside the NHS ad would make me more likely to buy these products.” BMRB Sept 2009: Women (Swine Flu ads total 1374)
