Maximizing the ROI on Your Super Bowl Spot - Advertising Age - Digital - 0 views

  • is such an unusual magnet for consumer attention and recall that it is worth every penny.
  • Consumers want to see the ads; they're akin to entertainment.
  • In my six years of monitoring game spots, there's been no question that brands that "prime the pump" around their Super Bowl spots get far bigger buzz dividends than brands that don't.
  •  
    On the surface this doesn't seem like social media. But the more we integrate with traditional media, in this case advertising, the more powerful both could become. Kinda like when Darth Vader struck down Obi Wan Kenobi.

Digital Marketing: Why Search May Not Click for Retailers - Advertising Age - Digital - 0 views

  • Less than 10% of online retailers' web traffic, on average, comes from search engines, according to an analysis by Nielsen Co.'s Online division.
  • the majority of retailers' web traffic (61%, on average) comes from people going directly to a retail site -- consumers typing, say, Amazon.com into a browser address bar.
  • Other referrals, such as affiliate programs or advertising (basically anything that wasn't direct navigation, comparison referrals or search), accounted for the remainder.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • The 9.5% of traffic from search also likely included a good chunk of people conducting navigational searches
  • the top 50 search terms revealed only three that weren't branded -- and those were pornographic.
  • brand and past experiences [with a marketer] matter an awful lot and will be far more significant determinants of success than any customer acquisition strategy that they're going to engage in,
  • "make an important case for the continued relevancy of display advertising. While search gets a lot of credit because it's quantifiable, there's a reason people are typing things like Expedia into the Google search engine."
  • "You have to have the brand presence," Mr. Paradysz said, "because if you don't, you first don't benefit from the paid search, and second, you potentially lose some of that downstream activity."

    The importance of search, brand awareness, customer aqcuisition and all that crap on getting people to know who you are, remember you, search for you, click on your links and buy your crap.

YouTube: You Created the Content, Now Sell the Ads - Advertising Age - Digital - 0 views

  • Let content creators sell ads.
  • $90 million this year; other estimates have it as high as $200 million. Even at the high end, that would be just a touch more than 1% of Google's total revenue
  • YouTube targets advertising by channel or vertical, such as comedy or music, rather than around specific videos.
  •  
    I already like their limited overlay feature, but a hyperlink outside of youtube would be about the best form of advetising. You've got to ba able to track it.

What Marketers Can Learn from the Tomato Scare - Advertising Age - Digital - 0 views

  • Josh Stylman, managing partner of Reprise Media, said marketers should go even further: They should not only buy paid ads but also issue press releases, which would show up in a news search; write blog posts, which would show up in a blog search; and buy contextual advertising so that marketers can address news reports and blog posts talking about the scare.
    • sterling doak
       
      This is a perfect example of why the big agency model doesn't work. This would take a small, smart and nimble group to execute. By the time this made it thru the account planner to production to PR in a big agency, it's days and days after the fact. Marketers take floating sticky note - get smaller, smarter and faster.

If I'd Wanted to Talk to a Robot... - ClickZ - 0 views

  • Want to quickly make your friends feel cheap and less than human? Start using automated responders to thank them for what they do or share!
  • If I choose to connect with someone, it requires an explicit action on my part. I know I'm doing this. It's the same for the person who chooses to connect back with me. Because I see this immediately as a status update or similar notice, I don't need an additional, automated response saying something like, "Hey, Dave, thanks for following me! I look forward to hearing from you!" C'mon
  • The unchecked use of auto responders undermines this trust, just as questionable claims and pitchmen undermined the credibility of advertising.

Facebook Users Are Getting Older. Much Older. - 0 views

  • As you can see in the chart below, the overall number of users between 18 and 24 years of age has grown only 4.8% between the fourth of January and the fourth of July of 2009. In comparison, the number of users aged 25 – 34 has grown 60.8%; the number of users aged 35 to 54 has grown 190.2%, while the number of users older than 55 years has grown a tremendous 513.7%.
  • In any case, these are significant changes. If you show the same ads to Facebook users now, they will react vastly differently than they would have half a year ago. If you’re an advertiser on Facebook, you should take these changes into account and react accordingly, because your campaign might not be as effective as it was a couple of months ago.
  • the number of high school and college students has declined by -16.5% and -21.7%, respectively.
