What is the Marketing Objective?

In todays showbiz obsessed media landscape, the opportunity to align your brand with the cutting edge celebrity journalists has clear potential to leverage brand equity amongst readers. The opprtunity is for a suitable brand to establish a headline sponsorship, or with a specific column within the feature.

How does it work?

A meeting of th brand guardian (you), the commercial team & Mirror editorial, will be arranged where we can establish the synergies that exist between the respective brands. Then, we'll look to establish how the optimium value can be realised for both the commercial partner and our readers. Many brands have benefited by advertising within 3am, however the benefits of striking a deeper relationship can be demonstarted by viewing a case study of previous partener Virgin Mobile.

Who's used it in the past?

Virgin Mobile has a typical challenger brand approach to their above the line activity. The brand is quirky, fun, young and irreverent. Compared to the competition Virgin Mobile has limited marketing expenditure, and therefore need to ensure any chosen communication medium is working harder and more effectively than the competition, pound for pound. Within 3am the 'Surveillance' column was used as the sponsorship platform, readers could spot celebs, text the paper and see their comments in paper the next day. Bespoke Virgin Mobile branding encircled the comments.
