The Media Planning Revolution Let the buyer beware! We are in the early stages of a media revolution with exponential change everywhere-- which impacts every aspect of the marketing communications and advertising media planning process. Examples: changes in demographics; demand for integrated marketing communications and interactivity; demand for accountability; new technologies and media innovations; certain traditional media will likely flounder; media convergence will continue; and consumers will gain even more control over their media/ advertising consumption. Jesse James Rides Again! As if learning about the exciting changes like those cited above wasn't enough, here's a new and perhaps unexpected challenge for advertising media professors, students, and professionals alike. In the good old days, media planning and buying and selling used to be a "goody two shoes" occupation, i.e., there was little to no fraud found in buying or selling media, no fake audiences, no cheating, no illegal cooking the books, no computer programs dedicated to stealing from advertisers. Disagreements, yelling and screaming, yes; but intentional dishonesty and breaking the law? No. Multi-million dollar deals with television networks were sealed with a phone call or a handshake. There was mutual trust between buyers and sellers. If a magazine rep promised a page 1 position, you could take it to the bank. Caveat-Emptor Today, we are once again living in the Wild, Wild West. We are saturated with internet sales hype, dubious audience definitions, and rampant on line ad fraud perpetrated by a large handful of crooks. With bogus clicks and fake impressions and no transparency, advertisers are being cheated out of at least $10-11 billion or more annually by fraudsters. What's worse, this fraud is taking place in the open. Industry leadership knows about it, but has done nothing because everyone profits from it (except advertisers). The Author: Ronald D.
