The challenge The Fraser Institute was already a highly recognized think tank with a good track record of placing their commentaries in major media markets across Canada when it approached us. However, it had been unable to crack the mid- and small-media markets, one of Troy Media s strengths. Our solution Copy-and-paste ready commentaries Fraser Institute commentaries are edited to Canadian Press standards, to optimize their opportunities of being picked for publication by overworked editors. Commentaries are then distributed through our proprietary media distribution network of more than 1,800 media outlets (print, broadcast, online). The commentaries are also posted on Troy Media Marketplace, the one-stop shopping site for editors looking for content. Posting articles on Troy Media Marketplace ensures the commentaries enjoy a longer lifespan and therefore broader readership. The results are in Media penetration trendline
The Fraser Institute began using Troy Media on a trial basis in 2009, and then began sending us all of its commentaries in 2012. 1 1 Charts courtesy Infomart
The dramatic increase in media penetration Troy Media was able to achieve has led to a marked increase in news and social exposure for the Fraser Institute across Canada. Exposure/circulation/reach Cost Per Thousand (CPM) Circulation/Reach 499,112,807 Yearly Cost $11,628.00 CPM 0.14
Ad value is a dollar figure which attempts to quantify the cost of purchasing an advertisement with similar dimensions or parameters as the article, result or clip in question. Ad value for print media is calculated by a formula which takes into account the length of the article (in words, then converted to agate lines); the number of images in the article; the circulation of the source; the publicly posted advertising rates for the source of the article.
