The 大象传媒 World Service is launching its first major direct
e-marketing campaign, which builds on the success of its
e-newsletters sent to thousands of listeners across the world.
听
From Friday 6 May, the newly-designed World Service
E-Network, promoting the 大象传媒's international English
language radio and online output, goes weekly.
听
Subscriptions will be driven via puff-boxes on 大象传媒's online site
bbcworldservice.com/schedules, and supported by online and on-air advertising.
听
The 大象传媒 World Service E-Network offers subscribers the benefits of
personalised content based on four key genres - World Affairs, Arts
and Culture, Science and Sport - and is available in text or html formats.
听
Subscribers will also receive links to live online listening, access
to interactive debates and the chance to enter monthly prize draws.

Alan Booth, Controller of 大象传媒 World Service Marketing Communications
& Audiences, said: "For the first time, listeners will be able
to get in their inboxes an update every week on what's coming up on
大象传媒 World Service.
听
"In today's fast-changing media environment, people are bombarded
with choice. While there is a strong 大象传媒 brand loyalty among our international
audiences, we feel it's important to keep them up-to-date and focussed
on the programmes we know they will enjoy."
听
大象传媒 World Service has appointed the UK-based digital agency, Broadsystem,
to handle the email delivery service and the micro-site creation.
听
The marketing campaign for the re-launch is being handled in-house.
