Alternative Media Spend Read Today's Myers Relationship Insights Report: Myers Media Industry Buzz By Jack Myers Time Warner Never Interested in Maggio's erinMedia Time Warner has denied published reports that it either committed to or seriously considered an investment in erinMedia, which had confirmed it was in final negotiations for a $25 million infusion of capital from Time Warner, Publicis and Boston-based Spark Capital. An executive at Publicis confirmed the media agency had been in active discussions with erinMedia CEO Frank Maggio. After Nielsen announced a comparable service to Maven Set to Roll Out Expanded Internet TV Platform Next week, Maven Networks Inc, a leader in Internet video distribution, will announce partnerships with at least two leading media companies for a next generation internet TV platform. With content owners deciding whether they should work with Google and YouTube or build their own broadband video content distribution model, Maven has focused on developing a new system that enables companies to manage and profit from their own in-house service using the Maven product. Details on the new service will be released Monday. Alternative Media Spend Leads Hyper-Transformation of Ad Models, says PQ Media Alternative advertising and marketing spending grew approximately 20 percent to $97.5 billion for year-end 2006, with each of the 22 segments growing at double-digit rates, according to PQ Media data from its Alternative Advertising & Marketing Outlook, scheduled for release next month. The growth was "fueled by rapidly expanding segments such as satellite radio advertising, consumer-generated media, mobile marketing, online video advertising and alternative out-of-home advertising," reports PQ Media CEO Patrick Quinn. Among the largest segments of alternative advertising and marketing in 2006 were event marketing, national online advertising, event sponsorships, interactive marketing and product placement. PQ Media is forecasting similar growth for alternative advertising and marketing spending in 2007. "We are experiencing another hyper-transformation of communications models, akin to what happened with the advent of newspapers, radio, television and the Internet," commented Quinn. "The media convergence envisioned in the 1990's with the rapid expansion of the Internet is back; it simply went on vacation for a few years while the media business worked through some economic issues. 2007 and 2008 are shaping up to be the era of alternative media strategies, with a remarkable evolution of the advertising and marketing ecosystem expected, driven by market forces in this seminal period." Quinn singled out traditional broadcast networks, and NBC in particular, for "pretty major moves to capitalize on word of mouth, social networking, and consumer generated media to shore up their business model. They have put a focus and premium on branded entertainment marketing. Jeff Zucker and others have made it clear there will be more emphasis on program placement and event marketing and sponsorship. They are looking at changing tactics, shifting focus, management and business models. They see it as the future." Quinn believes "2007 is shaping up to be the year of alternative marketing and advertising strategies. We are already seeing alternative and traditional companies looking at branded entertainment marketing, event sponsorships, webisodes, consumer generated media, blogs, podcasts, growth into alternative out of home, and out of home video networks. In a lot of cases, traditional media is best positioned to capitalize on the hyper change transforming communications models." "Some alternative media strategies such as product placement," Quinn adds, "that were novel marketing packets just a couple years ago, have emerged worldwide as key marketing strategies. This goes along with marketers seeking all important emotional connections*. Marketers are scrambling worldwide to find better ways to make emotional connections with consumers. As we see more media being launched and more alternative tactics being tried, people are bombarded with more messages than ever. Emotional connections with consumers are more important than ever."
