Magazine advertising to build brand awareness! Effective tool or expensive waste?

August 23, 2013

Magazines provide a targeted environment for building brand awareness. Research shows that the average awareness for television and for print is about the same. However, when you consider that exposures in magazines cost considerably less than TV, magazines can work much most cost-effectively than TV in delivering advertising awareness.

In Australia, while magazine titles have reduced over the last five to ten years, at one time Australia held the record the most number of magazine titles available on the market, you can still walk into any newsagent and find a magazine on virtually every subject – covering every niche target audience you may be wanting to target.

Magazine advertising effectively drives consumer attitudes and intended behaviour more effectively and efficiently in combination with online advertising. Combining magazines and online advertising have an enormous impact on consumer attitudes and intended behaviour by:

  • Aiding brand awareness at the top of the purchase / sales funnel
  • Brand favourability and purchase consideration/intent at the key conversion and action stages at the bottom of the funnel
  • For ad awareness, magazines and online virtually tied in their contribution

 


The point is, no one form of media is all powerful. Magazines, like all media can be an effective tool to market and inform but it is important to integrate your marketing platforms and strategies to ensure that they are delivering your overall marketing objectives and goals.

What is paid, earned, shared and owned media?

By Erica Williams • February 8, 2023
Media is complex. Much more than it used to be. Since the dawn of the internet and rise of social media, the number of media options has exploded. For a marketing manager, they are like pieces of a puzzle, interconnecting and working together. So, how does a marketing manager make the pieces form a nice, big, beautiful picture, to successfully stand out not only amongst the competition but above the vast array of media noise? American digital marketing expert, Gini Dietrich, identified four types of media: Paid, Earned, Shared and Owned. She called it the PESO model . Here we look at the four types of media. We describe and analyse each one and discuss how they all fit together.

Icon celebrates 20 years in business

By Joe Papadatos • February 5, 2023
When we launched in 2003, the trend in agencies was to provide a specialist service, like creative or media buying. But we saw the opportunity to offer full-service marketing to our clients, taking the pain away from managing multiple agencies with multiple processes. We’ve chosen to continue to base ourselves in the Macarthur region, moving to Campbelltown in our current office nearly six years ago.  This has enabled us to build strong working relationships with many companies in our region including property developers, builders, manufacturers, local Councils, venues, and many more. We’ve also worked with loads of companies outside the region which is becoming so much easier with the aid of technology. We’re not just suppliers, but genuine business partners. I’d like to thank the many clients I’ve worked alongside in the past 20 years and look forward to continuing many of those relationships.
