Classifieds You Can Trust
Classifieds You Can Trust With a budget of over $1 million in outside media, the “Classifieds You Can Trust” multimedia advertising campaign represents the most significant investment we’ve made in promoting our print and online Classifieds.
The campaign
The campaign will run throughout 2006 on radio, in print, and online, and is co-branded by The Washington Post and washingtonpost.com. There are different creative executions for each industry (automotive, real estate, apartments, and merchandise) and they all share the same design and tagline, which gives the campaign even greater impact. The tagline, “Classifieds You Can Trust,” positions The Washington Post Classifieds above the countless other print and online shopping alternatives, and reminds consumers that The Post Classifieds are the best place to find a car, home, apartment, or merchandise. That also means our Classifieds are the best place for you to reach potential customers.
