First-Quarter Ad Spending Comes in Flat


Marketers spent $30.2 billion on ads in U.S. measured media during the first quarter of this year, a slight drop of 0.1% from the same period a year ago, according to data released today by Kantar Media.

The cool start comes after 2012 finished with a 3% uptick in ad spending, much of which came from advertising around the Olympics and political campaign spending — two forces that aren’t returning this year.

“It has been a lackluster start for 2013, with flat year-over-year results due in part to strong 2012 growth caused by political and Olympic ad spending,” Jon Swallen, chief research officer at Kantar Media North America, said in a statement. “Data from the early second quarter are mixed, suggesting marketers are still being cautious and conservative with ad budgets. However, there are some bright spots, including healthy growth for Hispanic media and outdoor”

Se o telefone tocar, atenda

Depois de assistir ao vídeo acima, confesso que levou um certo tempo para eu reagir. Fiquei impressionada com a ideia, simples e impactante, porém, sem uma apresentação dos resultados, fica impossível avaliar sua eficiência. A campanha interativa foi criada por um grupo de estudantes da CSM, de Londres, para o Samaritans – uma espécie de CVV do Reino Unido. A ideia: colocar uma pessoa em uma espécie de vitrine digital, agindo como se estivesse prestes a cometer suicídio.

Com um telefone em mãos, a atriz começa a ligar para o telefone público do lado de fora da vitrine, enquanto várias pessoas passam. Há dois desfechos, um para quando a ligação é ignorada, outro para quando a chamada é atendida. Neste segundo caso, a atriz fala sobre o Samaritans e explica que os voluntários recebem 1 milhão de telefonemas por ano – 1 em 5 sendo pedidos de ajuda de suicidas -, e que precisam de mais voluntários.

A proposta da ação foi mostrar que, ao atender uma ligação, é possível mudar a vida de alguém. E apesar do choque que transparece no rosto do cara que atende a ligação no vídeo acima, os criadores da ação correram o risco de serem invasivos para passar uma mensagem importante.

Foi aí que me ocorreu que talvez os números tenham ficado de fora porque mais importante que o número de pessoas que continuou na linha durante a ação seja o impacto causado pela experiência, que poderá ser compartilhada e, quem sabe, fazer com a pessoa mude de ideia lá na frente. De qualquer maneira, vale o registro.
