Australian runs ‘Questions of Perception’ sales promo

The Australian

The Australian is running a marketing campaign aiming at increasing the frequency that existing readers buy the paper.

The “Questions of perception” campaign has been created by Sydney agency Below and Beyond as a means of extending the brand’s new “Search, Know, More” positioning.

The promotion – which has been running for the last fortnight and ends today – offers daily prizes for those who respond to a question of the day. There is a prize pool worth over $50, 000.

Below and Beyond national managing director said Michael Blumberg said: “The point of this was to give The Australian a boost in retail, newsagencies, through offering an incentive to engage. But it being The Australian, rather than going for a chance to win kind of incentive we embellished the ‘Search, Know, More’ brand platform and asked readers their view on a series of subjects.”

The Australian’s marketing manager Mark Gilbert said in a statement: “Our focus for this campaign was to target our young and more affluent audience with an engaging in paper daily promotion.”
