Grace Mahas — August 11, 2022 — Marketing
Gannett, one of the largest U.S. newspaper publishers, has launched a new brand campaign dubbed 'Here For It' that promotes local journalism. The new marketing initiative will focus on three markets -- Nashville, Phoenix, and Austin and was made in collaboration with Lexington, Kentucky-based ad agency Cornett to boost awareness of The Tennessean, Austin American-Statesman, and the azcentral.com/The Arizona Republic.
In addition to providing a rallying cry for local pride and engagement, 'Here For It' illustrates how local journalism can facilitate real-world connections, clarify complex problems, and lead to change. “The phrase ‘Here For It’ is used to express enthusiasm and support. Not only does the tagline connect with our consumer, it also provides a platform for us to communicate our purpose and our value, touching on all of the ways local journalism helps create a better home,” said Gus Murillo, Director of Local Brand Marketing at Gannett. “
