At a time when media consumption habits are undergoing dynamic changes, a media major in South Africa sought Borderless Access’ collaboration in understanding the relevancy of its local community paper through its reach and engagement in the geography.

  • Our bot-enabled quick deep dives helped us get robust wide representative data from an audience and enabled us to identify underlying challenges and opportunities ensuring effective resolution

Key Insights

  • We figured that the local papers are still extensively read by the community and 82 % of the brands use advertising in the local paper
  • The user sentiment that we gauzed indicated that many actively engage with the local paper-based advertising, finding it engaging and not disruptive or annoying
  • It’s an avenue where people go looking for offers and deals, price and brand reputation being top category consumption drivers across food and grocery segment
