Earlier this week, I was incredibly honored to be invited by ADWEEK Editor in Chief, Ryan Joe, to write a column in defense of news advertising in the midst of a war that seems to be wratcheting up every day. The truth is that demand for news is spiking, there is no brand-safety or suitability penalty associated with advertising in news according to multiple reputable sources, news is one of the last mass channels left, delivering 14% unduplicated reach while also over-indexing on affluent households! Most importantly for the performance marketers out there, it outperforms all other content verticals in terms of ROAS and Growth! What’s holding you back from advertising in news?
For CMOs juggling performance pressure and brand stewardship priorities, news advertising is not a risky edge case, it’s the very best path forward - right now - in the midst of a war - to drive the business outcomes you’re on the hook for and strengthen your brand in the process. Receipts are many and they are incorporated in my column.
