TRUST: A Newsworks Report: Sorcha Garduce, Insight Partner with Newsworks, will present findings from their latest research with effectiveness expert Peter Field which examines the link between trust in news brands and advertiser profit growth. Alongside this new analysis, Newsworks have also launched an in-depth study into trust, which helps advertisers more accurately measure and understand consumer trust in brands. This year-long study, in conjunction with Map the Territory and Tapestry, has led to the development of a new, more accurate measurement of trust, which considers the multi-faceted nature of this crucial metric.
