Capitalising on trust: How news media has helped brands through COVID-19
Reaching 2.7 million Australians before lunchtime every day, during COVID-19, news brands have demonstrated their value as a trusted partner that drives business impacts for Australian brands, says Peter Miller, the CEO of NewsMediaWorks.
These are indeed curious times and I don’t know about you but in times of upheaval, I turn to the people I trust for support and guidance. When the information you require is a matter of life or death, there’s no question. And so it has been reassuring to see brands leverage the established trust of news media to communicate during this time.
I’m sure you’ve heard me wax lyrical about the importance of trust before so I won’t labour the point, but it pays to remember that advertising in news media is the most trusted form of advertising. That’s because the trust and reliance readers place on news brands have a halo effect on advertising found within the medium.
