On The Dial: NZ commissioning own research; Simon Joyce returns with Emotive; Nova sales appointments
NZ commissioning own research
It’s safe to say the New Zealand Radio market has been turned on its head just a little with the surprise announcement on Friday that NZME is commissioning its own fully funded radio audience research. To some it’s seen as “ballsy move”.
NZME will have to commit big dollars to cover the cost of delivering radio audience results by May when there is no official survey slated, and nobody else to share the cost with. “Clients’ Needs” have been the stated driver behind the NZME decision. They have chosen to use TNS, the same provider that the sector has used for 20 years, but at the same time will introduce what is now considered the world’s best practice in using mixed methodology including an online sample with e-diaries. Something you see in markets like Australia and the UK.
Emotive: content that moves you
Simon Joyce returns with Emotive. Simon is the founder of the new independent content marketing business, which is backed by ARN and APN.
Emotive is set to deliver targeted content marketing solutions for clients, linking emotive content in the entertainment space.
“Brands now more than ever need to embrace their role as publishers by creating desired owned content that is engaging, entertaining and works in harmony with paid media. We specialise in creating video and event content for brands that emotionally connects through entertainment culture. We know that emotion is the single most important motivator in purchasing decisions,” said Simon Joyce.
