ADVERTISING & MARKETING The retail industry has been slow to take the plunge into online media, compared to other industries such as automotive, banking and finance and travel. The market is rife with agencies, publishers, consultants and digital experts predicting that 2010 will be the watershed year for retail. However a lot of retailers are yet to truly embrace the changing face of consumer behavior and media consumption. Read on
ADVERTISING & MARKETING How can brands plan and deliver unified long term strategy, build value and engagement in the message fog created by continually splintering and fractured media and audiences? The answer might be in the new field of transmedia strategy. Read on
ADVERTISING & MARKETING It has been said that the basic difference between emotion and reason is that emotion leads to action while reason leads to conclusions. The analogy can be applied to the effective difference between TV and the web, where TV generates emotional actions while the web leads to deliberation, then to conclusions, what cause either action (e.g. a sale) or inaction depending on the result of reason or logic having time to emerge. This limitation of web marketing is not understood by many digital planners still blinkered by the technology. Its time to stop talking about impressions or the latest version of Flash and to learn to love TV, as the future of the web is increasingly looking like a supporting actor to the starring role of TV.

ADVERTISING & MARKETING Is now the time for new kind of communications business that connects marketing specialists with corporate marketers? Its been obvious for a while now that the generalist media era is coming to an end. No longer do a handful of large media outlets determine our news and entertainment the way they did during the last century. Increasingly we are turning to a multitude of specialist media providers to satisfy our many needs. Media consumption is splintering so rapidly that its difficult to keep track of the vast array of options available to us. Read on
ADVERTISING & MARKETING It's no secret that some Australian websites continue to report traffic from their automatically refreshed web pages, even though the inclusion of this traffic is condemned by sectors of the industry because in most cases it significantly inflates the figures used in the market. To this point, the MFA have recently sent a letter to their media-buying members warning them about wasting money on auto-refreshing websites that could be serving ads that are never seen. Read on
ADVERTISING & MARKETING I recently realised how far the digital media industry has come in becoming obsessed with numbers. Numbers that we do not always understand.
