Placement

To maximise value and effectiveness of the campaign, our media spend targeted relevant ‘niche’ programming. The 30sx TVC delivered the broader message backed by the 15sx ‘call to action’. The placement was optimised to drive response and deliver results. A concurrent support campaign placed DL flyers at relevant ‘points of sale’ such as; fishing tackle shops / boat retailers / tourist information centres.

Result

gocrossmedia’s “Stop Tilapia’ campaign proved to be both engaging and easy to understand. A strategy of ‘targeted’ airtime placement saw a very positive response to the brand message by the ‘niche’ target audience. Google analytics confirmed that visits to the relevant Tilapia page doubled during each airtime period. Our strategy, creative, production and placement of the ‘Stop Tilapia’ brand continues to drive positive outcomes for NWLLS and has set a strong foundation for subsequent biosecurity campaigns.
