Written by our Traveller editorial team, the supplement was a collection of articles and features about inspirational places to visit and see in England and the SE.The supplement offered valuable editorial coverage of the specific locations that Tourism South East and Enjoy England wanted to promote. Advertising within the supplement drove readers to the Time for Us website and competition page. The replication within the Travel Channel also targeted our online audience.

What were the Results?

To judge the effectiveness of the campaign The Independent ran a post supplement digital survey using The Independent panel via e-mail. Of 455 respondents in total, 16% were aged between 35-44 and 64% were aged between 45-64. The research shown that in terms of awareness, 83% of respondents recalled the campaign (very high impact) and 40% read / 26% intended to read. 36% of respondents wanted to keep supplement for reference and 34% (over a third) would visit websites.
