TV Advertising Changed Radically This Year | Adweek - 0 views

  • Nielsen competitor ComScore is trying hard to create a product that will loosen Nielsen's grip on TV ratings, but that's a nearly impossible task. The question is less whether Nielsen's TV ratings will go away than whether traditional linear cable agreements will eventually go away and Nielsen's ratings system will become obsolete
  • There's just too much that's too similar on TV, and the wars of attrition with cable operators mean all packages just aren't going to contain all channels anymore. They can't afford to.
  • Third parties like Acxiom and Experian have an incredible amount of information, and the CEO of Acxiom told us consumers should have to pay to prevent their financial data from circulating among anybody who wants to buy it, basically like getting an upgrade on an airline.

  • If you're an advertiser, there's a lot to think about here, especially the integrations that companies like Netflix are quietly selling to defray the cost of producing jaw-droppingly expensive fare like House of Cards. With reality on the rocks and scripted shows in a constant battle for the best teleplay, it's worth hitching your wagon to the right star.
  • I said a while back that linear cable would never sell premium inventory programmatically; I'm sticking with that. What's changed is linear cable likely will be unrecognizable in 10 years—even HBO is decoupling its highly prized service from a traditional cable sub
  • TV subscriptions are getting sold differently as consumers express their displeasure with the ever-pricier cable subscription model. That means more and more inventory is delivered in apps and through browsers. And that means programmatic sales, for sure.
  • consensus seems to be that it leaves advertisers scrambling to move money from linear cable to digital. That gets characterized without fail as a vote of no confidence in network programming, but it's really not; it's a vote of no confidence in the cable industry.

Why Aren't There More Female CEOs In PR? - 0 views

  • While women make up about 70% of the PR workforce, they only hold about 30% of the top positions in the industry.
  • This raises the question, are big agencies losing talented women — some of whom start firms that ultimately become competition because of rigid policies?
  • A recent study by Bain & Company found that 43% of women aspire to top management within the first two years of their position, compared with 34% of men. “Both genders are equally confident about their ability to reach a top management position at that stage,” reads a blog post on the research. “This suggests that women are entering the workforce with the wind in their sails, feeling highly qualified after success at the university level.”

  • Research also indicates that men with stay-at-home wives tend to hold negative views of working women.
  • Among these, women have a tendency to focus on building effective relationships as leaders. Meanwhile, men tend put their energy into demonstrating results of their work, according to a study that came out last year.
  • We have so many women who are great at running accounts so management is reluctant to move them out of those roles,”
  • Research tends to support theories that women don’t call as much attention to their own achievements. In fact, not only are women more likely to abandon these efforts because of negative feelings about self-promotion, they are more likely to encounter backlash for advocating for themselves.
  • As part of the Lean In organization, Sandberg has also raised the issue of women taking on “office housework” like taking notes and planning meetings — tasks that don’t usually pay off neither financially nor with the corner office.  
  • “Everyone talks about mentorship — but what does that really mean? You have to be in the room, making decisions,” she says. “But that inner circle starts to narrow around that second or third tier. That’s where there must be gender equity. Something is wrong if there are all-male meetings at that level.”
