A &ldquo;company insider&rdquo; is reported to have said that job cuts will be made in WPP businesses where staff costs exceed 60 per cent of revenue. This statement from one of the largest, most transparent and best managed marketing consultancy businesses tells you everything that you need to know about what&rsquo;s required to run a profitable business in the marketing sector.]]></description><link>http://vip.marcomprofessional.com/posts/stephen.waddington/wpps-kpi-for-marketing-consultancy-businesses</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://vip.marcomprofessional.com/posts/stephen.waddington/wpps-kpi-for-marketing-consultancy-businesses</guid><pubDate>Sun, 04 Jan 2009 22:26:00 +0000</pubDate></item>

Consumers aren&#39;t spending. Businesses have stopped buying goods and services.Marketing budgets are being slashed willy-nilly by short-sighted senior managers.And let&#39;s not forget the ever-evolving media and marketing landscape.

		<item><title>Newspapers are Old News</title><description><![CDATA[CreditAs a follow up to my post, &quot;Extra Extra, Read All About It! Newspapers Respond to the Social Web,&quot; new research emerges that documents the looming exit of print newspapers as a primary source of national and international news.According to the Pew Research Center for the People &amp; the Press, a new survey indicates that 40% of respondents claim the Internet as their primary source for national and international news, versus 24% in 2007. In comparison, 35%, up 1% from 2007, rely on newspapers and 70% count on television as their main source for news, down from 74% in 2007.Perhaps the harbinger of things to come is embodied in the response from Americans under 30.]]></description><link>http://vip.marcomprofessional.com/posts/brian.solis/newspapers-are-old-news</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://vip.marcomprofessional.com/posts/brian.solis/newspapers-are-old-news</guid><pubDate>Tue, 30 Dec 2008 14:41:00 +0000</pubDate></item>
		<item><title>Personalised outdoor advertising</title><description><![CDATA[I saw this outdoor ad in a London underground lift just before Christmas.&nbsp; It also reminds me of a similar ad on a digital escalator panel (DEP) in Bond Street in London some months ago. I wonder if CBS Outdoor&nbsp;actually expected Joe to be in this tube lift on the way home from a meeting with them (much more likely with the DEP example as they can change the campaigns rapidly), or if it was just targeted at &ldquo;any old Joe&rdquo;. It got me thinking though, how soon will we start to see this sort of &ldquo;personal&rdquo;]]></description><link>http://vip.marcomprofessional.com/posts/andrew.grill/personalised-outdoor-advertising</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://vip.marcomprofessional.com/posts/andrew.grill/personalised-outdoor-advertising</guid><pubDate>Tue, 30 Dec 2008 09:08:23 +0000</pubDate></item>
		<item><title>Iconic newspaper advertising</title><description><![CDATA[While not strictly mobile advertising, I noted recently in the UK papers that the Newspaper Marketing Agency is running a campaign called &ldquo;newspapers deliver&rdquo;.&nbsp; It is another example of the &ldquo;advertising in a downturn&rdquo; approach, also used to good effect by the FT recently. They have modified some iconic newspaper campaigns&nbsp;to stress that newspaper advertising works (well I read the ad then blogged on it..)The copy claims &ldquo;&hellip;with 37 million weekly readers spending on average 40 minutes per paper, when it comes to selling your brand, newspapers are a peach.]]></description><link>http://vip.marcomprofessional.com/posts/andrew.grill/iconic-newspaper-advertising</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://vip.marcomprofessional.com/posts/andrew.grill/iconic-newspaper-advertising</guid><pubDate>Mon, 22 Dec 2008 16:35:24 +0000</pubDate></item>
		<item><title>Mobile advertising in Brazil</title><description><![CDATA[One of the great things about running a popular blog on a hot topic such as mobile advertising is that you hear from amazing thought leaders and practitioners from around the world. Recently, I was contacted by Rafael Storch de Freitas who is an account&nbsp;manager with a large agency in Brazil. He was writing to me to share some recent mobile advertising statistics from the region, and he has kindly allowed me to share the findings here. Rafael mentioned that he recently attended a presentation from the biggest publisher in Brazil, called Editora Abril, about the habits of young people (focused on advertising).]]></description><link>http://vip.marcomprofessional.com/posts/andrew.grill/mobile-advertising-in-brazil</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://vip.marcomprofessional.com/posts/andrew.grill/mobile-advertising-in-brazil</guid><pubDate>Sun, 21 Dec 2008 23:36:53 +0000</pubDate></item>
		<item><title>Extra Extra, Read All About It! Newspapers Respond to the Social Web</title><description><![CDATA[SourceYes, the headline isn&#39;t really breaking news to many of us. However, I received an interesting report this week that ties numbers to the tumultuous newspaper industry and its struggle to remain relevant, today and tomorrow. I wanted to share the numbers with you...Every year, The Bivings Group, analyzes how and to what extent America&#39;s largest newspapers are embracing the Web. With Social Media opening the flood gates for innovation in online content creation and distribution, newspapers are struggling to swim back upstream - even though the proverbial &quot;upstream&quot;]]></description><link>http://vip.marcomprofessional.com/posts/brian.solis/extra-extra-read-all-about-it-newspapers-respond-to-the-social-web</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://vip.marcomprofessional.com/posts/brian.solis/extra-extra-read-all-about-it-newspapers-respond-to-the-social-web</guid><pubDate>Fri, 19 Dec 2008 16:07:00 +0000</pubDate></item>
		<item><title>One rule for them when it comes to paid links and another rule for us?</title><description><![CDATA[I read something on Search Engine Roundtable earlier in the week that got me steaming mad. An industry expert allegedly said the following to a roomful of people at the Search Engine Strategies conference in Chicago: &quot;Yes; he buys links, but buys them for large .com&#39;s with lots of quality incoming links. That&#39;s a big difference from the small to medium who are buying those links. If Todd buys 5 links for someone like amazon.com, I call that buying paid advertising. NO risk at all.&quot;]]></description><link>http://vip.marcomprofessional.com/posts/mindy.gofton/one-rule-for-them-when-it-comes-to-paid-links-and-another-rule-for-us</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://vip.marcomprofessional.com/posts/mindy.gofton/one-rule-for-them-when-it-comes-to-paid-links-and-another-rule-for-us</guid><pubDate>Wed, 17 Dec 2008 11:00:58 +0000</pubDate></item>
