• Largest spend seen in TV, with a spend of £3,645,170,
– Newry Quays (Northern Ireland) was the only centre to
spend its entire recorded media spend on TV
– Westfield TV spend alone made up 14% of the total TV
media spend across the top 50 centres
• Smallest recorded spend on Direct Mail, only Bicester
Village Shopping Centre recorded a spend against Direct
Mail
– This is highly likely due to Direct Mail being not fully
recorded
Spend by Media November 2008 – April 2009

LEARNINGS FOR STANDARD
LIFE INVESTMENTS
• TV has the largest spend allocation (42% of total spend of
top 50)
– 41% of the total media spend on TV was made by the
big 5 centres
– Highest entry cost for media higher centre
budgets enable its use
– Provides prestige sense of gravitas across regional
catchment
– Outdoor usage underplayed as it is often used to
provide broadcast support when TV cannot be afforded
• The centres mostly use a multimedia approach, including
typically 3 or 4 different media channels
– Newry Quays is the only centre to record a spend
against 1 media (TV)
• AWM strategy across the portfolio largely mirrors this
pattern of a multi media solution.
• Offers a robust multi layered solution maximising
possible interaction with consumer, MORE impacts
(eyes / ears) on the advertising message
• Lessens the chance that the consumer can avoid the
communication
• Lack of online spend likely to be mis-allocation by
monitoring system (less robust reporting in online and
regional press territory). Pay per click (PPC) activity cannot
be captured by Neilsen.
