Dear I. B. Lee
Please find the information you seek and our responses in italics
annotated to each of your questions:
1. The duration of this brand campaign
The first elements of the campaign commenced on the 11th of February and
the last will conclude at the end of April.
2. Cost breakdown of everything related to the brand campaign -
already incurred and any remaining for the rest of campaign duration
The total cost of the campaign will be $450,000. Further detail is
withheld under s 9(2)(b) (ii) and s 9(2)(i). the Ombudsman has previously
held that RNZ is operating in a competitive marketplace and release of
such detailed information would prejudice RNZ’s position.
3. The number and location of promotional material (for
example, but not limited to, billboard advertisements and bus
advertisements) of the brand campaign
This detail is withheld under s 9(2)(b) (ii) and s 9(2)(i). the Ombudsman
has previously held that RNZ is operating in a competitive marketplace and
release of such detailed information would prejudice RNZ’s position.
4. Projected (audience) reach of the entire brand campaign, and
any documentation related to predicting and measuring this reach
This detail is withheld under s 9(2)(b) (ii) and s 9(2)(i). the Ombudsman
has previously held that RNZ is operating in a competitive marketplace and
release of such detailed information would prejudice RNZ’s commercial
position.
If you need any more information from me, please let me know as soon as
possible.
As we are required to do, this message is to also advise you that our
response to your request can be referred to the Ombudsman’s Office for
review under s 28 (3) of the Official Information Act if you wish.
