U.S. Box Office Hits Longest Modern Slump

'Batman' Can't Begin to Rescue Film Industry

CNN did an online poll Friday, asking what movie people were most likely to see over the weekend. The new films "Herbie," "Bewitched" and "Land of the Dead" received 27% of the vote. The landslide winner, with 73%, was "None, I'd rather rent a DVD of something good."

One word to describe this?

Implications…

• Your audience is fragmenting

• They go where they want, when they want

• We’re not talking enough about Games

• Mass culture is a lot less massive (but it hasn’t been around all that long anyway)

Part 2

Show me the money!

• Nearly all advertisers are spending more

• But more $$$ do not equal more audience

• You’re paying more for less

• And this does NOT include DVRs and SIMM

Ad Icon P&G Cuts Commitment To TV Commercials

P&G to reduce "upfront" TV spending

P&G sharply cuts commitment to TV ads

June 13, 2005

So why did P&G make the change?

• TiVo and other DVRs

• Internet and Games

• Increased investment in PPP

Generally, a move away from…

"Spray and pray."

Wenda Harris MillardChief of Sales Yahoo!

Although the budgets are miniscule compared to TV and newspapers, the big growth areas for marketing are more targeted.

And topping the list…

Part 3

Online: what the fuss is about

(I’ve shown you this next slide before…)

So why -- and how -- are most advertisers spending money online?

The Big Question

Should entertainment marketers follow the rest of marketers and invest more online?

Answer: Yes. That’s where your consumer is.
