It Works!
I think they were well targeted ads
that got across a message that we
couldn’t get across in another
medium.
They sold significantly better. We
certainly have paid back the
advertising and the investment
that went into producing the ads. It
was great to hear people in shops
saying that they’d heard the
advert.
We’ve seen a massive impact that
Metro has had. High level
increases in the Newcastle,
Sunderland and Durham areas, in
some cases up to 40-50% and the
only difference between 2012 and
2013’s marketing for Pulman was
the introduction of Metro and
Magic 1152.
The campaign was a really big
success we went from zero smart
cards being used in the North East
to 73,000 being used in just under
a year!
We advertised a recruitment day on air
for 10 days and over 600 people text in
for more information.
We had amazing results… Over 300
people attended the recruitment event.
