Cadillac, Chrysler, Mazda Accounts Spin Out at Once


NEW YORK (AdAge.com) — The auto-ad business used to be known for its stability, owing to accounts with long learning curves that placed a premium on experience and scale that made it tough to shift quickly. But the tumult that's rocked the auto business has changed all that, as evidenced by three iconic auto brands representing a collective $600 million in measured media spending swapping shops or going into play just last week.

How to Get the Social-Media Generation Behind Your Cause

NEW YORK (AdAge.com) — Once social activism meant protest marches, civil obedience and sit-ins. But for today's 20-somethings — sometimes called "slactivists" — supporting or denouncing a cause is as simple as hitting the "like" button on Facebook or posting a hashtag to Twitter. And that's often where it ends. But that can also be where it begins, if marketers use social-media tools widely to get young adults more heavily involved in their cause-marketing efforts.

Here's a look at some of those willing to share.

National Cable Gets Fueled by Fast Food

NEW YORK (AdAge.com) — A number of regional brands are finding a surprising way to drive efficiency: a national cable buy.

Mounting Web Woes Pummel Newspapers

NEW YORK (AdAge.com) — Look at newspapers' share of digital advertising, the crowds checking out other kinds of news sites, or the prices that advertisers will pay for the competition. The conditions in digital media, essential to just about any future growth for newspapers, are getting worse for papers instead.

Por que no iPad é melhor?

Tanto se polemiza sobre o futuro das revistas, jornais e toda a mídia impressa, que percebo uma certa onda de comentários muitas vezes infundados sobre a tal realidade imposta pelo avanço das tecnologias. Mas, observando esta polêmica com mais atenção, eu vejo que um bom caminho a ser seguido já começou a ser desenhado.

Para os veículos com “DNA offline”, como é o caso da Time Magazine, o lançamento de seu aplicativo para iPad (vide vídeo acima) é um passo importante para a sobrevivência do seu conteúdo, mas, acima de tudo, da sua marca. E não digo isso simplesmente porque este avanço é sinônimo de modernidade. O que eu realmente percebo em casos como este, é uma possibilidade enorme de enriquecer aquilo que o veículo tem a oferecer.

Dentre os benefícios de obter um tablet para acompanhar as notícias do seu veículo preferido, existe a chance de acessar conteúdos mais profundos, com a adição de áudio e vídeo.

A boa diagramação, usabilidade e praticidade no acesso e navegação do conteúdo de todo um veículo de mídia, num único centralizador interativo, são outros pontos positivos que favorecem a utilização de gadgets como o iPad.

E quem também ganha com todo este ‘update’ são os anunciantes, claro.

Mas ao invés de criticar e ir contra a velha mídia, como todos os outros críticos do mercado andam fazendo, prefiro ser cauteloso e um pouco mais realista.

Apesar dos seus déficits, os meios impressos continuam formando uma representatividade importante no mercado midiático e jornalístico. Ainda mais quando falamos de Brasil.

Contudo, continuo preferindo acreditar mesmo é no velho e bom mix de meios, que continuará sendo por muito tempo o principal eixo no plano de comunicação das marcas. Afinal, enquanto houver pessoas lendo, vendo, ouvindo e navegando, lá estará um anunciante pronto para interromper, ou não.
