A Caveat: Recession as Opportunity
• “Cutting ad spending hurts brands long term” - Ad Age, April 6, 2009
• TNS Media Intelligence study
• In the past, companies that maintained ad spending were able to hold their ground or make gains
• Companies that cut in recessions tended to lose more market share

an impact!• Avoid budget busters.• Less is more when selecting media
outlets.• Is traditional media the right venue for
your ad dollars?
