In a 2004 research survey, readers of the Sunderland Echo commented that the newspaper was very negative in style and content. The newsroom had got into the mentality that bad news would sell and would set out to look for and publish it! The Editor needed to create a ‘hook’ to change this culture and position the paper as a positive champion of its area.

Award winning initiativ for instilling major cultur chang and r -positioning.
These activities included a piece of benchmark residents attitude research, stakeholder events, monthly supplements and a weekly page specifically geared to celebrate all that was good about Sunderland. Alongside this, the aim of Wear1 was also to ‘help make it better’ and to this end, a community fund was set up allowing local organisations to bid for cash support and MPs were enlisted to help lobby for key business creation decisions. By its conclusion, the initiative had won awards and succeeded in over-delivering on its initial objectives.
The initiative spanned two phases over three and a half years with twenty private and public sector organisations contributing both a total of £200k and, more importantly, the time of senior executives to sit on the project board and steer activity.

We worked with the commercial and editorial teams to manage all aspects of the CNL JICREG readership research programme in 2005.The project included the paid-for daily and a number of associated weekly free titles in the Cambridgeshire marketplace.
The research comprised marketplace/postcode sector analysis, questionnaire design/sign-off from JICREG, 2000 x 25 minute in home interviews, a self-completion questionnaire, full data analysis and results/strategy presentations to key teams.
Following a full review, a programme was developed that would deliver the headline readership data, provide added strategic insight on key issues such as the impact of web on print circulations and harness the readership crossover between the titles to minimise the required number of interviews to satisfy JICREG requirements.
The managing director and editor at CNL were delighted with the outcomes dubbing the exercise, ‘JICREG plus’ and we have worked with them subsequently on other similar briefs.

We manage all aspects of PR, marketing strategy and communications for the centre and in 2009 it became clear that the market was shifting (with the advent of out of town shopping options, introduction of park and ride schemes etc). To gain a better picture of shopper attitudes, habits and motivations a research programme was required. The methodology was predominantly on-street around the centre with pre agreed quotas relating to home postcode, reason for visit to Durham, age and demographic. This was supported on-line and later supplemented by the creation of a ‘shopper panel’.
”
Key topics included: method of travel, reason for visit, home postcode, media consumption, awareness of/propensity to different advertising and promotion options, other shopping locations used (and why), along with suggestions for improvements at Prince Bishops. The results were highly insightful and have driven subsequent marketing and retailer acquisition activity with footfall and spend figures showing growth throughout the period of recession.

As the project developed, focus shifted towards communicating with the key target audience, identified as part of the project, using online surveys, consumer consultation and stakeholder interviewing.

We undertook focus groups with, and monitored presentations to pupils, teachers, governors, school staff and local residents at three schools near the proposed Academy sites to gather views on the management of the Academies, the implementation of the process of closing the failing schools they were to replace, and the construction of the new Academies. In addition, we oversaw a postal survey to canvas residents opinions and requirements, which was also available for completion online and affected parties were given the opportunity to make comments through a dedicated email address and telephone line. We then undertook in-depth telephone interviews with major stakeholders in the area such as MPs, MEPs, council and business leaders, and the media.
