Product placement 2.0

on October 5, 2005 by Martina Comments

Hollywood and Madison Avenue call it “brand integration”, but it’s just an euphemism used to hide product placement. The upcoming Tv season will be full of ads outside the traditional 30-seconds spots. The New York Times explores the characteristics of “product placement 2.0″ where “advertisers and their representatives are increasingly working with a show’s writers and producers and the network’s ad sales staff to incorporate products into the story lines of scripted shows as part of more elaborate marketing deals.”

Despite a relevant decrease in consumption, Tv still represents the largest share of media time (31 percent) followed by the radio (27 percent) and the Internet (20 percent).

Doubleclick: online will erode tv spots spending

on February 25, 2004 by Martina Comments

Kevin Ryan, CEO of Doubleclick believes Internet advertising will keep on growing as marketers decide to invest more money online to match consumers habits. As stated on Reuters (via Yahoo!) Ryan expects a double-digit revenue growth for DoubleClick in 2005, but is really interesting is that he expects online advertising to begin to take market share from television this year as marketers refocus their advertising dollars to reach the 18- to 35-year-old male audience, which is spending less time with TV and print media.

Use the Internet to support Tv ads

on February 12, 2004 by Martina Comments

iMediaconnection features this week an interview with Micky Pant, Reebok’s vice president of global marketing and recently named “Interactive Marketer of the Year” by Ad Week. Mr Pant takes us in the backstage of Reebok’s latest campaigns like Terry Tate and WhoDunIt telling us how they came up with creative ideas. In particular, it’s interesting to read Pant’s opinion about funny commercials, whose branding effectiveness is often under process. After watching the Terry Tate spot during the Super Bowl, 60 percent thought the advertiser was Reebok and 30 percent thought it was McDonalds… But the most interesting part of the interview is the one in which Pant tells about how Reebok determines its media mix:

“We use TV not to communicate a message but to direct traffic to the Web site and create promotions online. That creates a multiplier effect beyond reckoning.

Marketers, keep note of this!
