Scanning through my feeds, I noticed that there is a a lot of talk about the new Philips technology, that will not let the user skip ads, as AdJab writes, for example.
At the same time I now found out that
adfreak has received a comment by Philips, that this is not really the case, instead they just added a new functionality that let’s you choose whether you want to view the ads or not.
To me that sounds a little like Philips is trying to cover up a PR desaster.
Let’s see what other information we’ll get in the next couple of days…

This Blog Sits at the Intersection of Anthropology and Economics has post with the 10 rules of Trend watching.
Very interesting, especially point Nr. 4: no cool hunting. It’s too tempting to just look for the cool trends and write about them while the really big trends with lots of spending power are not noticed or written about, just because they’re not cool…

MarketingVOX has some info about the impact and effect of Online Advertising:
Some 57.1 percent of all web users 18 years and older say the internet serves as the primary source of information
I liked that figure, but when continuing to read, I had to find out:
TV commercials, however, apparently still make the most impression. Nearly half (49.8 percent) of respondents cited television as the most effective media to capture their attention, followed by the internet (22.3 percent)
The last quote, however struck and shook me.
more than one-third (39.5 percent) of respondents said those [online] campaigns were „recycling“ what was being done in other media; nearly one-quarter (23.0 percent) said the online campaigns were „worse“ than what was being done on TV, in newspapers and in magazines.
Is that the same in Germany? Probably.
Let’s change that. Now!

Chevy shares statistics about the Tahoe campaign
Of total submissions to chevyapprentice.com:
- About 84% have been straight product-pieces favorable to the Tahoe
- Of the remaining 16% of submissions, the majority are either anti-SUV (as a category) or the creator is using the ad as a platform to promote a specific cause or defame a particular group; a minority of submissions directly attack the product
- 4 million page views
- 400,000 unique visitors
- 22,000 ad submissions
Sounds like a huge success and I agree with Ben: display the stats on the campaign microsite itself, so that everyone can see how their contribution quantatively fits in with the crowd.
Wo ich sonst so bin...
