TV sponsorship: a brand’s best friend
Thinkbox & The Marketing Forum
http://www.thinkbox.tv/server/show/nav.1036

Thinkbox’s innovative research with Duckfoot sought to dig below the surface of sponsorship to deconstruct how and why it works and how it differs from spot advertising

Thinkbox
is the television marketing body for the main UK commercial broadcasters - Channel 4, Five, GMTV, ITV, Sky Media, Turner Media Innovations and Viacom Brand Solutions.

It works with the UK marketing community with a single ambition: to help customers get the best out of television.

This introduction to Thinkbox’s recent work with Duckfoot has demonstrated what many of us in the industry suspected – that sponsorship has a far greater impact on our implicit mind and emotions than on our rationale or conscious mind.

Sponsorship can effect how viewers feel about brands, how relevant they perceive them to be, their likelihood to buy and ultimately it bestows a degree of stature and legitimacy to brands in a way that only television can.

t's refreshing to see a brand succeed with a quiet and intimate approach to an online experience

12 crazy old ads
'More doctors smoke Camels than any
other cigarette'

http://www.oddee.com/item_92625.aspx



Checking these 'crazy' ads brings back all sorts of memories. Enjoy...

The inconvenient truth is that for all its new-media spin, display advertising is ‘old’ media — a commercial message to be placed next to editorial or entertainment content. Via AdAge

And we know by now that measured-media growth has pretty much ground to a halt as marketers continue to increase their spend in unmeasured disciplines such as web development, public relations and database marketing at the expense of paid advertising.

Amazing film of a hug from a lion
WoW! That was truly amazing! When Christian ran towards them it sent shivers down my spine
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/main.jhtml?xml=/e...

How Christian the lion moved from London to live free in the wilds of Kenya, East Africa

It was a pleasure to read the joyful account of Christian the lion’s reunion with old friends John Rendall and Anthony Bourke.

The film Christian the Lion was a professional production, not a “home movie”, made by my late husband Bill Travers and James Hill, the director of Born Free. It was shown in the 1970s on the Bell Telephone Hour in America.

Christian lived for four months at our home in Surrey before going to Kenya to the Kora game reserve, where George Adamson rehabilitated him. I am sure I can speak for both John and Anthony (Ace) when I tell you that the reason they bought Christian from Harrods pet department (no longer allowed, I am glad to say) was a feeling of compassion. It was a huge and life-changing commitment.

Jez Cartwright & The Marketing Forum
Jez Cartwright helps UK executives to'swim with the sharks and survive'
The move from sport to industry advising is now big business in Britain
http://www.akindred.com/Sheffield%20Star.pdf

This book is a "must read" The Handbook for Exceptional People
“Would you spend several million pounds on a Manchester United footballer and then not bother to give him a coach?”
said Jez Cartwright a speaker at The Marketing Forum.

“So why pay a chief executive £350,000 a year and then do nothing to protect your investment? It makes no sense.”

According to the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), more than three-quarters of organisations now invest in coaching, including performance and personal coaching, for their employees.

Yucca & The Marketing Forum
"Yucca have shown us that search is a highly accountable and relevant method of attracting customers to our brand"
http://www.yucca.co.uk/work_detail.asp?workId=9



Via Yucca ....  P&O Cruises are the number-one cruise brand in the UK.

Yucca originally worked on the creative for the P&O Cruises website back in 2005. The new website went live and all was well. We then spotted they were using Paid Search and noticed some opportunities to improve it.

P&O Cruises were using Paid Search in much the same way many large brands do - as part of their media buy.However, buying Paid Search in the same way you buy press or TV spots can mean you’re missing a huge point. Search is live data, and there is a lot you can do with that data once you start to look into it.

Yucca is a confirmed supplier at The Marketing Forum in September.

The Digital Training Academy & The Marketing Forum
Ten performance leaps for getting
more leads for less....

Why marketers need look no further than the web for smarter solutions
www.DigitalTrainingAcademy.com

Danny Meadows-Klue

Danny Meadows-Klue from www.DigitalTrainingAcademy.com argues marketers need look no further than the web for smarter solutions...

The web should be your most powerful lead generation tool, but is it doing the job properly? Most search advertising, search engine optimisation and web customer acquisition programmes can work much harder - if only you know what to do, or what to ask of your agency. The challenge is knowing how to achieve this.

Most brands still struggle with the web, and Danny's session at The Marketing Forum delivers ten performance leaps you can apply straight away.

He examines the models for how to fit online smartly into your marketing mix, boosting brand metrics, and cleverly generating sales either online or offline.
