Some agencies could feel the pinch as shutdown drags on


Not all ad agencies are getting a fresh start to 2019. Some shops that count the federal government as a client could soon feel the financial strain of the shutdown, which is now nearing two weeks in length. Delayed payments, disrupted campaigns and the postponement of agency appointments are all potential outcomes should the shutdown continue, according to experts.

The U.S. government, which is number 46 on the list of leading national advertisers compiled by Ad Age’s Datacenter, spent $949.3 million on total advertising in 2016, up 3.5 percent from 2015. More than half, or $500.5 million, of that budget was spent on measured media, Datacenter found. The government’s largest advertised brands include the Army, Health & Human Services, U.S. Postal Service, Air Force and Navy.

“Shutdowns are bad for business no matter what business you’re in,” says Sam Berger, a senior advisor at the Center for American Progress, a think tank. He notes that in addition to delays in payments, the shutdown also creates “an inability to talk to the contracting agency about services to be provided and for those folks looking to get new work, no decisions can be made or contracts awarded until the shutdown is over.”

Network TV can't survive without the NFL


.teads-inread { display: none; }

It turns out the likes of Tom Brady and Dak Prescott still have the requisite star power to light up the Nielsen servers. After two years of ratings declines, the NFL this season silenced many of the Chicken Littles by improving its overall deliveries by 5 percent, while providing further evidence that it remains the best investment for deep-pocketed advertisers.

In a year marked by two GRP-hogging quadrennial events and a whole lot of Beltway intrigue, NFL games accounted for 34 of the top 50 most-watched broadcasts, and 61 of the top 100. The only thing that came anywhere near to matching the NFL’s hegemonic reach was the 2018 Winter Olympics; NBC’s coverage of the PyeongChang Games drew six of the year’s 50 largest TV audiences and 15 of the top 100.

Apple plunges most in almost six years on IPhone slump


Apple Inc. plunged to its lowest price in a year-and-a-half after the company cut its revenue outlook for the first time in almost two decades, citing weaker demand in China.

Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook said sales will be about $84 billion in the quarter ended Dec. 29, down from earlier estimates of $89 billion to $93 billion. Apple posted sales of $88.3 billion in the fiscal first quarter a year earlier, so the new forecast would mean Apple is reporting a holiday quarter slowdown for the first time since Cook became CEO in 2011.

Apple shares fell 10 percent to $142.19, the biggest drop in almost six years, in New York Thursday. The revenue revision, which came late Wednesday, led markets lower around the world and also triggered a slump for Asian suppliers and a wave of lower price targets from Wall Street.
