The MidBritain Multiplier for the Mail brands

Did you know that 61% of all readers of the Daily Mail and The Mail on Sunday are MidBritons?  This makes the Mail brands a very efficient platform for engaging with them.  In fact no other national press brand comes close to delivering a similar scale of audience so efficiently.

Many advertisers would probably think first about TV when considering reaching a broad audience like MidBritons.  However, such is the effective reach of MidBritons by the Mail brands that using these two titles in combination with TV can produce amazing results...

  • Consider a TV only campaign that reaches 70% of MidBritons - this would cost you around £1.3m
  • Now redeploy 10% of that budget (£130k) into the Daily Mail and The Mail on Sunday
  • For the same £1.3m your media plan would deliver an 81% reach of MidBritons
  • An increase of 11 percentage points - or 16% more for the same investment

If you wanted to reach the same 81% of MidBritons using TV only, then this would cost you £1.8m - or an extra £500,000 investment.  Combine the above results with findings from the NMA's Neuroscience study and newspapers adding significantly to levels of brand response, and you'll surely agree that this is a powerful formula for reaching MidBritain!
