What makes news newsworthy?
In today's media landscape, all newspapers are in a battle with a million distractions and instant expert opinion that invades our personal space 24/7. NewsLocal's stable of Sydney suburban papers needed to establish a strong, unified position that could work across multiple platforms and drive engagement levels up.
A brand that talks the talk
Getting a deep understanding of the brand is the first step in our process. We evaluated the brand DNA that made up the local papers, and what that meant to the community around them. We found out owning 'hyper local' was key to harnessing the pride and joy of the communities that mattered most to the brand. We worked to position the company as a world leader in providing credible local content that would define not only the brand, but those who consumed its content.
The Local Narrative
We then took it a step further and developed an identity that was a visual representation of a two-way conversation between editors and their audience across all platforms. We literally wanted them to own the local conversation.
Changing Rules
We engaged the entire workforce behind the new brand and achieved amazing results that earned over 7.2 million impressions, 292,000 completed views and 21,000 link ad engagements.
