3. On the other hand The fragmentation is worse in tv, internet, radio etc. Newspapers are still a mass medium in many places Free papers means than more people than ever are reading newspapers
4. Then why are the largest advertisers In TV Dansk Tipstjeneste Procter & Gamble Arla Foods L'oreal Coca Cola Carlsberg In Newspapers Hewlett-packard SAS Bilka Philipson Wine Magasin Klasselotteriet
5. Perhaps? The largest advertisers and agencies have (had?) lost faith in newspaper advertising Does newspaper advertising really work…and how? Lack of documentation of effects
6. The Story Framework Create our own case study A campaign, where the advertising effect could be isolated Introduce a completely unknown brand Establish a cooperation with an advertiser Find a professional advertising agency Document the effect – also on sales!
7. The Case A clinical laboratory test! No other marketing activities at all! A large newspaper campaign in all daily titles of JP/Politikens Hus A/S and our advertising partners Extensive research The product: Ketchup!!

21. …soon after SuperGros were on the field. Of course I wasn’t particular popular with this customer either. She had almost gone crazy seeing such a big ad without she knew anything about the campaign. So now she was thinking about a job as a guard in an auto museum. She wanted a quotation right away. From the diary of Karen Søgaard, importer of Mutti Even though the ”pros” had warned that there would be reactions already after the first ad, I was surprised to get them already from the start of the day. Do people in advertising sit up all night to be on the forefront of events? From the diary of Karen Søgaard, importer of Mutti

30. The Smaller Danish Cases Wide variance in campaign sizes Some newspaper only – some multimedia All cases – except one – shows very positive results Higher awareness Higher sales Results above advertiser expectation
