Case Järvikylä – Record sales and visibility with a successful marketing campaign

Jun 08, 2023

The front pages brought attention value and the dynamic digital full-page increased the depth of the Järvikylä campaign. Järvikylä is a food brand owned by Famifarm Ltd, which markets salads and herbs.

The goal of the marketing campaign called Kaada kaamos (“Overthrow the darkness”) was toraise people’s awareness of Järvikylä’s herbs and salads and to promote greenness in the darkness of November.

“Järvikylä has been promoting a greener plate for 35 years. With the marketing campaign, we wanted to offer people new ideas. There is no special food-related celebration in November. With the Kaada kaamos campaign, we wanted to promote a healthy diet, and our goal was also to increase sales in the month that tends to be quieter,” says Sini Memonen, Marketing Manager at Famifarm.

Solution

In addition to the cross-media front pages of Helsingin Sanomat, Aamulehti and Satakunnan Kansa, the marketing campaign included a cross-media full-page of Me Naiset and a full page in the Glorian Ruoka & Viini magazine. The dynamic digital full-page carousel and the social media highlight guided people to get acquainted with Järvikylä’s smoothie recipes and the Kaada Kaamos campaign message. At the same time, a radio campaign was running on the Sanoma channels.

Results

The marketing campaign generated more than 7 million contacts. The engagement rate of the dynamic digital full-page carousel implementation was very good: 4.8% of screens were clicked or swiped. Radio brought more attention to the marketing campaign. During the autumn, Järvikylä set an all-time sales record.

“Our aim was to gain wide-ranging visibility, and we succeeded very well in doing so. Radio advertising supported print and digital advertising well. The message gets stronger when it reaches people in different medias. Through Sanoma’s digital channels, our materials got a huge number of views – more than three million in total. From our point of view, this is a tremendous result,” Memonen says.

The dynamic digital full-page carousel ensured visibility

The dynamic digital full-page carousel featured Järvikylä’s smoothie recipes combined with the Kaada Kaamos campaign message.

“The results gave us confidence that our message interests people. The marketing campaign clearly boosted our sales. November sales were at a record high compared to previous years.”

”Famifarm opted for front-page advertising based on previous experiences.”

“You can get great visibility and attention on the front page. The dynamic full-page advertising brought more depth to the marketing campaign by presenting recipeinterested the readers. The dynamic solution also brought traffic to our website and could be seen in the number of visitors. We will certainly continue to carry out such implementations in the future as well,” says Memonen.

“The ad engagement rate of 4.8 was really high, among our best. The campaign metrics were above average in other respects as well,” says Producer Annina Pienimäki from Sanoma’s Data Sales team.

According to Memonen, collaborating with Sanoma is smooth and easy.

“Sanoma offers solutions that suit our needs. The campaign has a good starting point, becauseSanoma knows what could work and provides support for the implementation as well. The dynamic full-page solution was new to us. We received good and precise advice on how to implement it,” Memonen says.

“During the autumn, Järvikylä set an all-time sales record. The Kaada Kaamos concept worked really well, and the cross-media marketing campaign was a successful and stylish entity,” says Mika Halme, Sanoma’s Client Manager of Famifarm.

When looking for good visibility, Sanoma is an easy and natural solution. Cross-media presence is important to us, as the marketing campaign can be broken down into different channels.

The reach figures were wild, the content provided by Sanoma supports our brand image and we reach an interested audience through Sanoma. We are very satisfied. We will continue the Kaada Kaamos campaign and possibly expand Sanoma’s solutions to other marketing campaigns as well.

TV and video advertising in 2025 – major trends to tap into

31 Oct, 2024
The world around us steers our consumption to an ever more digital direction, and TV and video advertising needs to stay on top of the changes. What are the trends to look out for and opportunities to seize in 2025? Video Commercial Manager Tuomo Sinkkonen from Sanoma brings you the biggest talking points on the table right now to help you make informed decisions about your advertising next year. Total TV places content above device In the past, we watched TV. Today, it’s the content that matters, and the device we use to watch it is increasingly irrelevant. “It’s about the viewer’s freedom to choose. Even in Finland, where traditional TV remains popular, it’s the show we concentrate on instead of the device or channel it runs on,” says Sinkkonen. The goal of Sanoma’s programme acquisitions has, for some years now, been to reach viewers not only through linear TV but also on streaming platforms. This means choosing more programmes that, instead of depending on a specific moment, can be watched whenever. Erikoisjoukot, one of the most popular programmes on TV channel Nelonen last spring, got a considerable amount of its views from streaming service Ruutu. “There is a time and place for big live phenomena, but overall, we try to create a selection of programmes that can be watched throughout the week,” Sinkkonen illustrates. Measure your campaign’s success accurately across platforms In 2025, the fall of device-specific TV viewing will finally also be reflected in the way advertising campaigns are measured. Instead of having to combine metrics from different platforms and make estimates of overall numbers, SpotOn technology gives us accurate data on the actual reach of a campaign across platforms. “We are entering a time where independence from specific devices is not just talk anymore, but a reality that can be measured. Next year, Sanoma will be sharing a lot of observations about measuring the reach of TV and Ruutu together”, Sinkkonen promises. News media challenge social media in the race for video advertising Social media tends to snatch a significant portion of marketing budgets – but this isn’t the only way to success or even the best one, claims Tuomo Sinkkonen. News sites work very much like a social media feed: we scroll through, find things we are interested in, and are given ads to look at. However, we tend to scroll a news site a whopping 31 per cent slower , which makes it far likelier for us to see a video ad all the way through. “My months-long analysis of digital news sites based on different data points shows that digital news media are a much more opportune environment for video advertising compared to social media. I’d be glad to see this reflected in the way marketing budgets are distributed,” says Sinkkonen. Extra tips to stand out with your TV and video advertising in 2025 Choose your platform to fit both the marketing goals and the creative production . In addition to your objectives, the material you have on hand determines the best platform to use. Video material that works in social media is often a good fit for a news media, too, while TV or streaming platforms call for a more traditional story arc. Go beyond the obvious when it comes to advertising on TV . An ad break has a dozen ads to get lost in, but with branded content within a show, you have the viewers’ full attention. Don’t get stuck on scripting only spot ads – think bigger! “I’d love to see new and brilliant ideas within programme co-operations and how brands can be part of the programme content itself. I don’t think we’re anywhere close to the limit of the creative potential here,” Sinkkonen says. Turn to a partner to stay on board the changes . Media companies have the responsibility to keep the fast-changing world of digital advertising accessible to advertisers. “It’s unreasonable to think that an individual advertiser should be able to grasp everything that’s going on. It’s up to us to help you navigate the new possibilities and best practices,” Sinkkonen concludes. Ready to plan a successful year of advertising? Contact us!
