Issues identified in the report
1.5 The following summarises the main areas of concern highlighted by the draft
report.
Classified advertising
• There is an over-dependence on classified advertising and a consequential
high level of expenditure - £8m in 2003/04.
• There is no consistent approach to the purchasing of classified advertising.
Government is missing out on potential savings that could be achieved
through a more co-ordinated approach.
• The approach to classified advertising is outdated. It fails to exploit the
savings to be derived from modern methods of communication.
• This outdated approach does not provide the flexibility to meet changes in
the market.
• The opportunities provided by the weekly newspaper market are not being
fully exploited.
• The current approach is led by procedural requirements rather than being
focused on effectiveness.
• Government is paying a premium for classified advertising, particularly inthe case of recruitment advertising.
Campaign advertising
• There is no consistent approach across government to the procurement,
management or measurement of the effectiveness of agencies andcampaigns.

marketplace.
• There is little or no auditing of the effectiveness of media planning and

• There is a lack of clarity around volume discounts for government, nor is
there a co-ordinated approach to the negotiation of a government pricing
framework.
• Expenditure of £9.2m in 2003/04 on campaign advertising in Northern
Ireland is 1.5 times higher per capita than the UK average.
• There is a lack of consistency and transparency around the costing models
used for the payment of agencies.
Internal management
• Advertising in departments is handled in a variety of ways and this works
against a strategic approach to communications within departments and
across government.
• The skills base of some staff who manage and procure advertising needs to
be developed.
• There is no management information system within government that could
provide consistent information on current and past advertising expenditure.

1.6 The recommendations of the draft report can be broadly summarised as

Classified advertising
• Classified advertising should be opened up to competition against specific
criteria.

communication.
Campaign advertising
