INTRODUCTION

PLUNKETT’S ADVERTISING & BRANDING INDUSTRY ALMANAC is designed as a general source for researchers of all types. The data and areas of interest covered are intentionally broad, ranging from branding trends to emerging technologies, to an in-depth look at the major firms (which we call “THE ADVERTISING 300”) within the many segments that make up the advertising and branding industry. This reference book is designed to assist with market research, strategic planning, employment searches, contact or prospect list creation and financial research, and as a data resource for executives and students of all types. PLUNKETT'S ADVERTISING & BRANDING INDUSTRY ALMANAC takes a rounded approach for the general reader. This book presents a complete overview of the advertising and branding field (see “How To Use This Book”). For example, the consolidation and globalization of major ad agencies and the rapid rise of online advertising are covered in exacting detail. THE ADVERTISING 300 is our grouping of the biggest, most successful corporations in all segments of the advertising and branding industry. Tens of thousands of pieces of information, gathered from a

wide variety of sources, have been researched and are presented in a unique form that can be easily understood. This section includes thorough indexes to THE ADVERTISING 300, by geography, industry, sales, brand names, subsidiary names and many other topics. (See Chapter 4.) Especially helpful is the way in which PLUNKETT'S ADVERTISING & BRANDING INDUSTRY ALMANAC enables readers who have no advertising or financial background to readily compare the strategies, financial records and growth plans of advertising and branding companies and major industry groups. You’ll see the mid-term financial record of each firm, along with the impact of earnings, sales and strategic plans on each company’s potential to fuel growth and provide investment and employment opportunities. No other source provides this book’s easy-tounderstand comparisons of growth, expenditures, technologies, corporations, research and many other items of great importance. The information within is crucial to people of all types who may be studying this, one of the most exciting industries in the world today. By scanning the data groups and the unique indexes, you can find the best information to fit your personal research needs. The major companies are profiled and

involved so that the reader may get further details without unnecessary delay.

then ranked using several different groups of specific criteria. Which firms are the biggest employers? Which companies earn the most profits? These things and much more are easy to find.

•

In addition to individual company profiles, an analysis of advertising and branding technologies and trends is provided. This book’s job is to help you sort through clear summaries of today’s technologies and trends in a quick and effective manner.

Tables of industry data and statistics used in this book include the latest numbers available at the time of printing, generally through late 2022. In a few cases, the only complete data available was for earlier years.

•

We have used exhaustive efforts to locate and fairly present accurate and complete data. However, when using this book or any other source for business and industry information, the reader should use caution and diligence by conducting further research where it seems appropriate. We wish you success in your endeavors, and we trust that your experience with this book will be both satisfactory and productive.

Whatever your purpose for researching the advertising and branding field, you’ll find this book to be a valuable guide. Nonetheless, as is true with all resources, this volume has limitations that the reader should be aware of: •

Financial data and other corporate information can change quickly. A book of this type can be no more current than the data that was available as of the time of editing. Consequently, the financial picture, management and ownership of the firm(s) you are studying may have changed since the date of this book. For example, this almanac includes the most up-to-date sales figures and profits available to the editors as of early 2023. That means that we have typically used corporate financial data as of late 2022.

•

Corporate mergers, acquisitions and downsizing are occurring at a very rapid rate. Such events may have created significant change, subsequent to the publishing of this book, within a company you are studying.

•

Some of the companies in THE ADVERTISING 300 are so large in scope and in variety of business endeavors conducted within a parent organization, that we have been unable to completely list all subsidiaries, affiliations, divisions and activities within a firm’s corporate structure.

•

This volume is intended to be a general guide to a rapidly changing industry. That means that researchers should look to this book for an overview and, when conducting in-depth research, should contact the specific corporations or industry associations in question for the very latest changes and data. Where possible, we have listed contact names, toll-free telephone numbers and internet site addresses for the companies, government agencies and industry associations

(See the Index of Hot Spots For Women and Minorities in the back of the book.) This information may change frequently and can be difficult to obtain and verify. Consequently, the reader should use caution and conduct further investigation where appropriate. Glossary: A short list of advertising and branding industry terms.

Introduction to the Advertising and Branding Industry The size of the advertising market is difficult to assess and estimates by analysts vary to some degree. This is partly because the final cost of advertising for any organization includes creative and agency costs; local branding and marketing efforts; public relations; catalogs, brochures and other printed matter; the creation and maintenance of web sites, email campaigns and social media campaigns; and myriad other components, in addition to expenses for media.

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

Numbers that are available for analysis and comparison are generally limited to actual spending on media, such as radio, TV, billboards and paid search or online advertising. Even these numbers are often educated guesses. Estimates of ad spending may include spending at both local and national media outlets, as well as spending on internet media via paid search and online ads. In recent years, ads on social media sites have been added to the media spending mix. Another important development has been the use of data mining and predictive analytics to study patterns of consumer media use in order to place ads, especially digital ads, in front of the best possible audience for a particular ad. For example, Facebook enables the advertiser to drill deep into consumer demographics, tastes, habits and locales in order to have ads appear to highly niched groups. Short-form video sharing site TikTok has soaring advertising revenues. 2022 Advertising Media Spending On a global basis, global spending on advertising media, including digital, search, outdoor, TV/radio, print, etc., was forecast by analysts at GroupM to reach $868 billion. GroupM’s numbers are well respected. Nonetheless, the reader should keep in mind that estimates of the total size of the advertising market varies widely from source-to-source. (The U.S. accounts for approximately 25% of global expenditures, but this number varies considerably, depending on whether or not it is an election year.) Emerging economies have been seen as outstanding advertising markets for the long term, due to rapid improvements in household incomes, consumer spending and business investment, along with the continuing spread of media access via consumer electronics ranging from smartphones to flat-screen TVs. For the near-term, they will be hit hard by the Coronavirus pandemic. Both the online audience and the level of sophistication in online advertising continue to increase dramatically. Advertisers large and small have made the internet a very significant part of their advertising strategies. Digital advertising spending accounts, for about two-thirds of all ad media spending worldwide, as of 2022. Advertising is irrevocably linked to media, whether traditional media like the 15,337 broadcast radio stations in America (about $12.4 billion in annual revenues); 3,670 commercial broadcast TV stations plus myriad cable and satellite TV outlets (totaling about $79.3 billion in advertising revenues);

www.plunkettresearch.com

or the 1,100 daily newspapers (about $10.2 billion in annual advertising revenues). The advertising sector also includes direct mail, at about $9.9 billion yearly in the U.S.; magazines, at about $47.0 billion in revenues; and outdoor advertising, at about $7.5 billion. In addition, there is significant activity in specialty and alternative advertising, everything from ballpoint pens printed with a message, to t-shirts, to small airplanes towing advertising banners. Branding, marketing and public relations activities and services likewise generate billions of dollars in revenues. Advertisers are faced with daunting new realities when considering the various media they might use to get their messages across. Traditional media are losing control over their audiences. That means that advertisers can no longer feel secure that their ads on TV, on the radio or in print are going to receive mindshare. Gone are the days when television and radio programmers enjoyed captive audiences over a handful of networks, people who happily sat through ad after ad, or planned their schedules around favorite shows. Consumers, especially consumers in younger demographics, now demand more and more control over what they watch, read and listen to, and thus more control over the advertising they might be exposed to. Issues and Options Related to Control and Pricing of Entertainment Content: • Free, advertising-supported content versus content accessed only by paying subscribers • “Sponsored” content paid for by one company, as opposed to traditional content supported by a variety of advertisers • Illegal downloads of content versus authorized downloads that were purchased or subscribed to by the consumer • Paid, one-time downloads of content for permanent use, versus one-time pay-per-view, versus continuing subscription required to view • Portability (including the ability for a consumer to download once, and then use a file on multiple platforms and devices such as iPods) • Delayed viewing or listening (such as Video-onDemand, or viewing TV programming at the consumer’s convenience via recording devices such as TiVo) Source: Plunkett Research, Ltd. Nonetheless, for advertisers willing to adapt to today’s rapidly evolving environment, there is good

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

news. Effective advertising today targets consumers based on things they are passionate about, rather than merely their tendency to watch network TV on Friday night, or their age or household income bracket. That is, the increasing range of niche media now available enables carefully crafted messages to be designed for, and delivered to, specific consumer “passionate interest groups.” For example, consumers who read Bon Appétit magazine (gourmet food and lifestyle coverage), watch the Food Network on cable TV and hold Platinum American Express cards are likely to respond to messages that are centered on dining and entertaining well. Obviously, a niche campaign could be created around direct mail or email to these upscale credit card holders, reinforced by print ads in the magazine (plus digital ads on the magazine’s web site) and cable TV ads on the Food Network. This is a target marketer’s dream come true. The product might be fine wines or Viking ranges, but it could just as easily be ads featuring Lexus luxury automobiles shown being used to bring home gourmet food ingredients, drive to a gourmet restaurant or arrive at the Aspen Food & Wine Festival. The campaign might be topped off with special ads on social media, or an online contest on the Epicurious gourmet foods web site (www.epicurious.com), and links to special offers, contests, how-to-cook streaming video demonstrations or useful news on the advertiser’s own web site. Blogs, interactive magazines in the form of apps, social networks like Facebook, cable TV programming on-demand and smartphone-based entertainment are booming. Never in history have there been so many unique opportunities for targeted marketing based on consumers’ tastes, interests, locations, special needs and passions. In fact, asking consumers to respond by going to a specific web page makes advertising truly trackable and resultsbased—long the holy grail of marketers. Cutting-edge cable TV technology makes television advertising directed at specific neighborhoods possible for the first time—a boon to advertising by local retailers, local services and political candidates. Interactive television services are growing rapidly, leading to new opportunities for direct selling via TV. With interactive cable TV, subscribers can order movies on demand and other unique services. They also have the ability to respond to direct sales offers via their cable systems. For example, viewers watching a pay-per-view music concert may be able to order souvenirs such as tshirts via interactive cable. Cable TV offers another

www.plunkettresearch.com

unique advantage to direct sellers and other advertisers. Since the cable system knows the address of the cable subscriber, that address information can be matched against demographic databases to create a unique profile of the subscriber based on likely household income, value and size of the home and other data. Ads displayed by the cable system can then be custom tailored to match the viewer’s profile. Equally important is the tendency that cable viewers have to browse and engage in social media on their smartphones while they watch TV. A true sea change in the way that television is watched and used is occurring as consumers purchase internet-enabled television sets. A direct link from the screen to a set-top box or other controller (such as a Raku unit interacting between Wi-Fi and the TV) to the internet means that interactive viewing has been brought to new levels. It also means that the download and local storage of viewing content will be more convenient than ever. This rapidly growing use of ads that are targeted to “passionate interest groups” is long past due. A study by Yankelovich Partners found that two-thirds of Americans feel “constantly bombarded” by ads and nearly as many respondents felt that these ads have little or no relevance to them. Today, electronic offerings such as digital video recorders (DVRs), video-on-demand (VOD) and digital music have vastly altered the way consumers enjoy entertainment. People watch and listen according to their own desires and whims. Miss the finale to a favorite television show? Rent or buy it online or record it to watch later. Interested in only one track from a recording artist’s new album? Buy and download just the one song via the internet at iTunes. Love a prime-time drama on a major network but hate commercials? Record the show while ignoring the commercials with a DVR like Tivo. The implications of these changes are staggering. The business models upon which most media have traditionally run are becoming obsolete. Revenue from advertisers is in jeopardy at traditional outlets, while advertising at new media, including online, is soaring. Television programming schedules are losing relevance while electronic program guides are becoming more and more vital. Media companies and the advertisers that rely on them are being forced to radically change, in order to deal with new technologies and new demands from consumers. Network TV news, radio news and newspapers all

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

find that they must compete fiercely against internetbased news content. A large portion of sports programming migrated away from free broadcasts on TV onto paid cable channels and pay-per-view systems. The latest change is the delivery of sports to subscribers who pay to watch sports on internet sites operated by the major leagues themselves. MLB baseball in the U.S. is the most innovative league in this regard. A rapidly growing number of sports fans are keeping up with teams and live game scores via smartphones. Media platforms and ad delivery are evolving quickly. Smartphones are now used for more and more entertainment and news purposes. Game machines are going multipurpose with the ability to connect to the internet. Broadband internet access to the home has grown to vast, mass-market numbers, while high-speed wireless connections are enhancing the use of entertainment and media on the go. A serious evolution of access speeds and delivery methods will continue at a rapid-fire pace, and media companies will be forced to be more nimble than ever. (One gigabyte download speeds are rapidly becoming available in many cities.) As a result, more and more consumers are abandoning cable and satellite TV (along with their subscription fees) and shifting their watching to internet-based entertainment only, via platforms such as Hulu or Sling. This practice is referred to as cord-cutting, and it is creating significant challenges for traditional cable tv providers. In magazine publishing, some niche publications have been enjoying high advertising page counts. Fashion magazines and bride’s magazines, for example, remain robust. However, news magazines, business magazines and other broad interest publications have been losing advertising clients to the internet and are becoming thinner than ever. Newspapers are finding it increasingly difficult to compete against internet news and advertising delivery rivals. The most successful newspapers have very robust online platforms in addition to print. Traditional radio broadcasting is suffering also, having trouble in attracting and keeping listeners for advertising-based radio programming, due to online music platforms such as Pandora and Spotify, as well platforms operated by Amazon and Apple. Users of Pandora and Spotify may choose from free, advertising-supported music, or fee-based monthly subscriptions that are free of s ads. Satellite-based radio via SiriusXM is also a major contender for listener market share. Satellite radio requires special

www.plunkettresearch.com

receivers, which are readily available to automobile owners. This revolution in media delivery and consumption will continue to upend traditional media outlets, creating new opportunities for some businesses, and bankruptcy for others, while delivering ever-increasing choice and control to consumers. 2)

Agencies Face Both Evolving Client Needs and Vast Changes in Media The world of advertising is largely driven by advertising agencies, both large and small. The biggest agencies are made up of large numbers of subsidiaries and operating units. Specialized groups and business units within the agencies focus on specific tasks and client needs: media planning and buying, digital media, marketing, branding and public relations, in addition to the more traditional production of artwork, advertising copy and related tasks. For most of the history of the agency industry, business was done on a cost-plus basis. Bills came into the agency from such suppliers as photographers and magazines, the agency added 17.65% onto the costs, and finally, marked-up bills were sent to clients. In this manner, a $10 million campaign would be marked-up to $11.765 million once it was billed to the client. In addition, agencies might bill for internal costs such as consulting with clients, generally at substantial hourly or package rates. However, client attitudes to costs and charges have changed dramatically, and clients want more control over total costs. Today, more than ever, clients are focused on cost effectiveness and return on advertising investment. In addition, they want trackable advertising results whenever possible. Marketers are working to cut costs paid to advertising agencies, scale back on the number of agencies employed and increase marketing efficiency. As a result, many agencies are making new types of deals with their clients, with supplier and media costs passed along at no markup and set hourly rates for various creative and consultative tasks performed by the agency. Other agencies are offering fees based partly on time spent and partly on actual results. For example, a national advertiser, Peet’s Coffee & Tea, reportedly made a deal with a major digital advertising agency, Razorfish, to launch a new online strategy and web site. Instead of set fees, Razorfish earns a portion of increased profits, if any, that result from its efforts.

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

Another massive change in agency operations is fostered by the ease of finding and managing creative freelancers, thanks to the internet and specialized web sites. For example, Upwork, www.upwork.com, (formerly Elance), and Guru, www.guru.com, both make it extremely easy for an agency, small or large, to look at creative portfolios of individual writers, artists and photographers, and ask for bids for specific projects. Other sites like Catalant, gocatalant.com, formerly HourlyNerd, offer access to MBAs and other professionals for marketing, strategy development and research purposes at reasonable costs. DesignCrowd, www.designcrowd.com, lets users request creative ideas for logos and other needs from an online database of more than 500,000 designers around the globe. In fact, globalization, fueled by the internet, is the driving force behind all the examples noted above. These creative freelancer sites are populated by millions of potential designers, writers and artists from India to the Philippines to Australia, Canada and America. Many offer excellent resumes and portfolios while charging very modest fees. Another trend in advertising is for companies to form their own in-house agencies to control costs and take advantage of brand awareness. Who would better understand a business’ products than their own people? A 2018 study by Forrester and the In-house Agency Forum found that 64% of surveyed respondents had in-house ad agencies, compared to only 42% in 2008. The pressures and changes in the advertising agency industry are very similar to those faced by large law firms and management consulting companies. In all of these sectors, clients want more transparent, affordable billing procedures, global reach and trackable results. The pressure on ad agencies and consultancies is resulting in a variety of merger and acquisition activity. Part of this trend is the need for large agencies, those that formerly focused on traditional media such as network TV and magazine ads, to boost their expertise and offerings in digital advertising. 3)

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Drives Creativity in New Ad Campaigns As in many other industry sectors, artificial intelligence (AI) is impacting advertising design, utilizing software to generate ideas for copy, as well as graphics, content and other marketing materials. For example, Supernatural LLC, an ad agency in New York City, offers clients The Machine, a set of

www.plunkettresearch.com

algorithmic tools that use data from social media, search engines, third parties and other resources to identify potential audiences, analyze competition and ultimately generate creative ad ideas. The Machine helped the firm design a hip, quirky campaign for Wandering Bear Coffee when the AI platform found an audience seeking irreverence with regard to drinking coffee. The result was several ads featuring a talking, coffee-drinking bear who delivers sage advice quips with the tag line “Gentle, Like a Bear.” AI is especially effective in testing large numbers of minor variations in copy or color schemes, enabling optimized design choices for target audiences quickly and inexpensively. The technology also includes tools such as OpenAI, Inc.’s GP language generator, which uses deep learning to produce human-like text in any number of languages. 4)

Digital & Search Advertising Has Larger Market Share of U.S. Advertising Than TV After a surge in online advertising during the Coronavirus era, ads had slipped by early 2023, returning to massive but more normal levels. Recent changes in consumer privacy protection rules have also slowed online advertising. Both the online audience and the level of sophistication in online advertising continue to increase dramatically. Advertisers large and small have made the internet a significant part of their advertising strategies. Digital advertising in the U.S., during 2022 was a projected $220.9 billion, compared to $191.09 billion in 2021 according to eMarketer. Mobile advertising accounted for a projected $129.79 billion for 2021. Digital marketing technologies, and the vast volume of personal data gathered on consumers and utilized in such advertising, has sparked deep concern about consumer privacy throughout much of the world. An enhanced degree of government regulation has resulted, particularly in the EU with its GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) rules. This will be an evolving process in governments worldwide, with many actions likely in the U.S. Online advertising includes paid search, display ads, video ads and other categories. To take advantage of the growing base of online consumers, as well as the increases in connection and computing speeds, advertisers have developed rich media techniques such as very catchy ads and video content. The digital advertising market has expanded to include social media such as Facebook and LinkedIn, where advertising has been growing at a fast clip. Advertisers, including national firms, are taking

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

social media very seriously. Consumers are spending a significant amount of time each day on Facebook and similar pages, and these sites offer tremendous tools that enable advertisers to reach specific, niche markets. Sophisticated tracking technology that is now commonplace on the internet allows advertisers to see how online ads are performing in real-time. Meanwhile, Amazon.com has become one of the most successful online advertising platforms, generating billions of dollars yearly in fees for display ads on its shopping sites. Google remains the dominant player in online shopping searches. However, research firm Jumpshot found in 2019 that 54% of people looking for a product online begin their searches on Amazon.com, up from 46% in 2015. That is, people who are shopping for a specific product often tend to go straight to Amazon to search, rather than going first to a platform like Google which would then link them to Amazon or Walmart, etc. This has had the interesting effect of making Amazon’s own paid placement and display advertising revenues surge, as many companies are willing to pay Amazon to make their items more prominent. Advertising Via Paid Search Results: Search engines such as Google provide targeted search result placement, also known as “paid search results,” in the form of prominent links to a client’s site. Ads on Google’s search results pages appear near the “natural” search results. What is vital about these ads is that they are generated by the key words a user enters in his or her search. Advertisers pay search engines to have their links appear whenever certain words or collections of words are part of a search. For example, a paid search result for a light fixture company might appear whenever “lighting” or “lamp” is entered as part of a search. Advertisers pay for each user click on their ads. Google and other search engine sites generally sell keyword placements to the highest bidders. Another popular online method is “pay-per-click” advertising. For example, Google’s extremely successful AdSense program enables an advertiser to upload a text- or image-based ad into Google’s system. Google’s sophisticated technology places the ads on third-party sites that contain content related to the advertisement inserted there. Every time a consumer clicks on the ad, he or she is taken to the advertiser’s own web site, which results in a small pay-per-click fee being charged to the advertiser. This fee is shared between Google and the owner of the third-party site where the click originated.

www.plunkettresearch.com

Yet another method of online advertising is “textual” or “in-text.” Advertisers pay for certain words in news or general interest articles to by hyperlinked on third-party sites. When users click the underlined word, a related ad pops up, complete with a link to the advertiser’s web site. Online advertising company Vibrant Media, Inc., (www.vibrantmedia.com) for example, offers in-text ad products that can include text, flash media and video. SPOTLIGHT: Nielsen and Partners Track Mobile Video Viewing In partnership with Facebook, Google and other sites, Nielsen is tracking video viewers on smartphones, tablets and laptops. Video player manufacturers now include code that send pings to Nielsen servers with information about the device used to watch a video. Nielsen’s servers communicate with Facebook about those device addresses, and the social media site matches the addresses with member information. Facebook sends Nielsen data such as age and sex of the associated viewers. Experian, another partner, adds buying patter information related to those viewers. Nielsen sells this information to advertisers, enabling these advertisers to best tailor their ads to reach specific audiences on specific devices. Behavioral Targeting: A concept sometimes called “behavioral targeting” uses technology to analyze an individual internet user’s tastes, habits, interests and concerns. A primary method of such targeting has long been the placement of cookies on users’ computers. Cookies track a user’s actions, such as web sites visited, and relay data on these actions to marketing analysis databases. (Cookies are also used to enable a web site to recognize a user when he or she returns to a web page.) Over a period of time, a pattern of web site visits will show a user’s unique interests, enabling targeting of ads. Data may also be gathered every time a user clicks on an ad. An enhancement to this idea is technology that tracks all page visits of all internet subscribers within a given geographical area. This site visit history can be analyzed at the individual level, enabling an internet service provider to offer highly targeted ads based on a subscriber’s internet use history and apparent interests. Acxiom Corp. (www.acxiom.com) is a major player in targeted online ads, maintaining a database of households with information taken from a wide variety of sources, including public real estate and motor

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

vehicle records, warranty cards that customers complete and return to manufacturers and travel histories. Google uses extremely sophisticated technology to gauge the interests of online consumers and to place relevant ads in their view. Google’s effort to target ads in this manner vastly improves its ability to deliver relevant ads to consumers and serve advertisers’ interests, all while increasing Google’s ability to generate revenues. Privacy: Google and Apple Alter the Rules Consumers’ online activity is generally tracked at the individual user’s level by cookies and other means. This is extremely useful to advertisers who want to a) serve up their ads to viewers who are most likely to have an interest in their content, and b) better understand what types of people are viewing their ads. However, it runs counter to growing consumer and regulatory backlash about consumers’ lack of privacy and control over their own online activities. During 2020, Google announced that it would remove support for third-party cookies from its popular Chrome internet browser. In the spring of 2021, it announced that it will not create alternative digital identifiers to track individuals as they browse across the internet, nor will it use such identifiers in Google products. Rather than track individuals’ viewing habits, one alternate trend within the digital advertising realm is to create groups or cohorts of non-identifiable users according to their apparent interests. One goal is to give users more control over their identities and to give them more trust in both internet use and in the ads that are presented to them. In another important development, Apple announced in early 2021 that apps used by the hundreds of millions of iPhones worldwide must ask users for permission to track them individually for advertising purposes. The query occurs at the time that an app is downloaded. The net effect of these trends has been higher advertising costs for many advertisers, with lower results. Some advertisers are reporting very substantial increases in their ad costs. For example, a tooth whitening products company in the UK called smirk (getsmirk.com), saw its Facebook ad prices soar due to Apple’s privacy policy change.

Another company, Get Stix, Inc. which makes and markets pregnancy and fertility tests (getstix.co), is sharply cutting its monthly ad spending on Facebook after costs ballooned. This is an evolving situation in which the leading technology companies are attempting to better protect consumer privacy and online safety in a more proactive manner. Part of their strategy is to attempt to show the government that the industry can self-regulate without additional government control. However, there is broad interest in government in the EU to protect consumers, as well as strong feelings about better protection from members in both parties in the U.S. Congress. Another practice is “retargeting,” which displays ads for items that were viewed on an advertiser’s web site but were not yet purchased. For example, a user might browse for dog beds on a pet-related site. When that user moves to an unrelated site, perhaps a news site, an ad showing the very dog beds previously viewed appears on the news page. To some extent, internet companies make it possible for consumers to opt-out of these practices, when consumers are willing to take the time to manage their user profiles. In addition, web browser options and security settings within Apple, Microsoft and other popular software enable consumers, who are willing to take the time and trouble, to restrict the use of cookies and other tracking technology. The EU has enacted a “General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)” that requires websites to alert consumers to the use of cookies. Many other aspects of a site’s use of consumer information are also tightly controlled by GDPR, with companies of all types required to take significant steps to protect consumers’ privacy and data security. Google, Yahoo!, AOL, Time Warner and NBCUniversal agreed to place a Do Not Track option on their sites which limit how data compiled by tracking consumer behavior is used. Another threat to online advertising is ad-blocking software. For example, AdBlock Plus is a banner, pop-up and video ad blocker used by a large number of consumers. The online industry continues to slowly move towards better protection of the privacy of consumers—sometimes voluntarily, and sometimes through regulation such as the EU’s GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). In 2021, Google announced that it will stop utilizing technologies that are able to identify unique users as they click from site to site online. Instead, Google will use advanced tools that will enable advertisers to target their ads without collecting information on individuals. Rather

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

than being identified as individuals, consumers will be grouped with other users who have similar habits into cohorts that can be targeted by ads. SPOTLIGHT: Unified ID 2.0 Ventura, California-based Trade Desk, Inc. is an advertising technology company offering a selfservice, cloud-based software platform to assist advertising buyers when building digital advertising campaigns across a variety of platforms. Trade Desk’s Unified ID 2.0 is an open-source ID framework of consumer profiles built from hashed and encrypted email addresses as opposed to mining data from third party cookies. Profiles are scrambled to protect privacy. The framework affords users highly personalized ad targeting. Unified ID 2.0 holds profiles numbering in the hundreds of millions. 5)

Metaverse Provides Advertising Opportunities Many observers consider the emerging “metaverse” to be a segment of virtual reality. Virtual reality has been under intense development by leading technology firms for several years. It can be described as a life-like representation or virtual world that has been generated by specialized software. Viewing and participating in virtual reality through special equipment (such as a helmet/googles with 3D viewing screens and earphones, sometimes used with gloves that contain special sensors) creates an experience that is immersive to the user. For example, a virtual conference can be held, in which participants can be seen and heard around a virtual table. The metaverse will potentially expand on the virtual reality concept but will initially find the greatest acceptance in electronic games and social media-type activities. Advertisers and marketers may see the metaverse as an opportunity to reach younger markets. However, consumer and business metaverse adoption rates are slow so far, which is disappointing to some technology providers and marketers. As the metaverse evolves in everything from entertainment to culture to business, advertisers are finding ways to increase brand recognition through virtual reality. Digital worlds are being created, enabled by platforms including Fortnite Creative and Roblox Corp., which feature all manner of products and services. For example, Vans streetwear, which is owned by VF Corp., attracted more than 48 million visitors to its virtual skate park on Roblox when it debuted in late 2021. In a similar vein, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. created a virtual store using

www.plunkettresearch.com

Roblox in which avatars in burrito-themed costumes navigate a virtual maze to win codes for free food. A leading indicator of this trend is the renaming of Facebook’s parent company to Meta Platforms, Inc. The company, one of the world’s largest advertising media providers, is making a powerful statement about its belief in the future of the metaverse as a means of communication, entertainment and advertising. 6)

Programmatic Ad Buying Dominates the Digital Media Market Technology experts have devised automated systems in which advertisers specify the type of ad, types of page locations and price they are willing to pay for an ad. The ads are then placed by a third party (an “exchange”) into vacant slots that match the advertiser’s criteria. The practice, which is also referred to as programmatic buying, utilizes a set of complicated algorithms running during the milliseconds it takes for a web page to load. Omnicom Group reports that it can bid for up to 10 million online ads every second. The practice already places ads on smartphones, tablets and desktops, but will exponentially grow as televisions and billboards increasingly become connected to the internet. Sophisticated online ad management systems make it relatively simple for advertisers, agencies and web site owners to track ad space inventories and advertising campaigns. This ability for advertisers and their agencies to tightly control their advertising spending creates new cost-effectiveness and is a powerful boost to overall online ad spending. 7)

Global Internet Market Tops 5.47 Billion Users/Ultrafast Broadband Expands, both Fixed and Wireless The majority of American cellphones are now smartphones. Big improvements in the devices, such as the latest iPhones and Android-based units, along with enhanced high-speed access via 4G networks, are fueling this growth. More recently, major wireless carriers are offering advanced 5G services with higher potential speeds. Most major ecommerce, news and entertainment sites have carefully designed their web pages to perform reasonably well on the “third screen,” that is, cellphones (with TV being the first screen and desktop or laptop computers being the second screen). Globally, the number of internet users was 5.47 billion as of March 2022, (including wireless) according to Internetworldstats.com.

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

Internet access speeds continue to increase dramatically. Google launched its “Google Fiber” ultra-high-speed internet service in Kansas City, Kansas in 2012, and soon expanded into other cities. AT&T initially launched a similar 1 gigabit service in competition with Google in the Austin area called AT&T FIBER. AT&T firm now offers this 1 GB fast service in major cities across the U.S. What will widespread use of fast internet access mean to consumers? The opportunities for new or enhanced products and services are endless, and the amount of entertainment, news, commerce and personal services designed to take advantage of broadband will continue to grow rapidly. For example, education support and classes via broadband is rapidly growing into a major industry. Broadband in the home is essential for everyday activities ranging from children’s homework to shopping to managing financial accounts. Online entertainment and information options, already vast, will grow daily. Some online services are becoming indispensable, and always-on is the new accepted standard. The quality of streaming video and audio is becoming clear and reliable, making music and movie downloads extremely fast, and allowing internet telephone users to see their parties on the other end as if they were in the same room. Compression and caching techniques are evolving, and distribution and storage costs are expected to plummet. A very significant portion of today’s radio, television and movie entertainment has migrated to the web. 8)

Television Ads Evolve to Face New Challenges, Formats and Online Competitors Many consumers are dropping their costly cable and satellite TV subscriptions and relying heavily on internet-based streaming instead, particularly in the U.S. These consumers are called “cord cutters.” This trend creates significant challenges for cable/satellite firms and broadcast television, along with the advertisers that pay for ads on these traditional TV platforms. The fact that new TV sets are internet-ready is adding fuel to this trend. More and more, consumers are relying on nonTV sources for entertainment, such as Netflix and Amazon Prime. All internet-based entertainment platforms may come under some pressure to sell advertising, regardless of whether or not they also receive subscription payments. As content owners, such as TV show producers and movie producers, see the online audiences grow, they will have additional

www.plunkettresearch.com

leverage to ask for ever-larger payments for their content. This could create situations where the online platforms have to weigh the pros and cons of selling ads, increasing subscription fees, or both. The world’s largest advertisers are reallocating a major portion of spending from TV ads to online ads. Concerns about audience size, the amount of time spent viewing TV, as well as the amount of attention paid to commercials continue to nag the television industry. Viewing-on-demand is another issue. Many television viewers skip at least some ads by channel surfing during commercial breaks. The network television business model is facing a need for radical change. Network scheduling, once an allimportant strategy for attracting and keeping viewers, has lost its power since people are recording their favorite shows to watch whenever they want via DVRs such as TiVo. Advertisers are increasingly making use of audience measurement to determine which ads are being watched and which are skipped. Nielsen Media Research has been providing formal ratings for commercial breaks since 2007. Today’s set-top monitors measure average viewership for all the national commercial minutes that run during a televised program (individual ads or specific commercial time slots are not tracked). Audience ratings giant Nielsen has evolved its system to include TV viewership on smartphones, tablets and other wireless devices, on personal computers and time-shifted viewing via DVRs, as well as traditional TV viewing. Measurement also includes whether viewers channel surf during commercials or fastforward through them using a DVR. Millions of settop boxes for satellite and cable TV subscribers are deemed “household accessible” or “household addressable,” meaning that advertisers can use them to target ads based on viewing habits. Tracking streaming ad viewing is more challenging since ads appear on multiple apps. Another challenge to traditional 30-second television ads on network TV is the proliferation of cable channels. There are hundreds of nationally delivered cable channels in the U.S. alone. Although many of these channels are limited in scope, budget and audience, many advertisers are starting to see the appeal of niche cable as a targeted advertising medium. Channels with very specific content can be a real marketing opportunity for certain kinds of advertising. Their audiences tend to be consistent, representing particular interests and spending habits. A marketer targeting a niche market may simply look through a cable channel guide and find an appropriate

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

channel. If you want to sell historic memorabilia, advertise on a history channel, and so on. Cable’s ability to deliver highly targeted audiences has appeal for many advertisers, and this appeal has translated into cable’s increasing share in the market for television ad placements. Excellent examples are the huge successes scored by food channels and home remodeling channels. New data analysis tools from firms such as Nielsen Holdings NV can help advertisers target audiences and save costs in the process. As more data is collected and thoroughly analyzed, media companies can isolate very specific buying groups such as high-income business travelers or female gamers and pinpoint the shows that they have watched in the past. Advertisers and networks alike are creating new ways to present advertisements and keep viewers engaged. Among the panoply of interesting strategies are new takes on product placement and sponsorship, mini-movies and situational commercials. Advertisers are experimenting with different types of product placement on television, ranging from the visual placement used in the example above, in which the product merely appears on a show, to more complex (and expensive) types of product placement, such as spoken/verbal product placement, in which an actor mentions the product by name, or usage product placement, in which the actor directly engages with it. To a growing extent, many viewers, particularly those in younger demographics, watch video that is “over the top,” meaning it is broadcast via the internet. A surge in digital video advertising is occurring on sites such as YouTube, Facebook and Hulu. These platforms are increasing available ad space and attracting advertisers with their growing user bases throughout the U.S. Some advertisers are blending their strategies by placing traditional ads for brand recognition and targeted ads to promote specific products. Targeted ads are significantly more expensive per view than traditional ads. Broadcast companies such as CBS, Fox and Viacom are working to partner with pay TV providers to make targeted ads available in select markets. It may become common for traditional TV advertisers to broadcast ads for different products to different households based on demographics and consumer behavior.

DVR Market Evolves/Time-Shifting Hurts Advertisers Within the television industry, recording and delayed viewing of programming is referred to as “time-shifting.” The impact of these devices on the advertising industry, as well as ancillary businesses such as television networks and cable companies, is very great indeed. Television advertising has long been based on charging the most for ad time in and around the highest-rated shows. It’s not surprising then, that advertisers cry foul over DVR viewers’ ability to skip or fast-forward through their extremely expensive ads. The ad-skipping phenomenon is forcing advertising agencies to become more creative. Branded, single-company-sponsored programming may become a dominant trend and can increase both viewership and ad retention. Other alternative ad approaches such as “showcases” and “branded tags” are available to DVR users. Viewers must choose to view the showcase, which focuses on targeted areas of interest based on demographics and analysis of viewing habits. Branded tags are advertising icons that appear while fast-forwarding through commercials while watching recorded content. Viewers can select the icon with their remotes to learn more information about the product. Another attempt to get ads to stick in viewer’s minds is to design relatively static ads that convey a message even as viewers fast forward through them. The real future of DVR companies lies in expanded services and more sophisticated technology. Portability of recorded programming is standard. New services include the ability to watch recorded programming on portable devices, via internet connections or wi-fi, that communicate with the DVR. Another convenience to viewers is the Video-onDemand (VOD) programming offered by major cable companies. Subscribers can quickly call up popular programs and movies that are stored on a cable system’s servers and watch this programming at a time of greatest convenience to the subscriber. Some VOD programs are offered at an additional fee. “Dynamic ad insertion” allows cable channels to insert ads into their video on demand (VOD) services in as little as 24 hours. The practice allows advertisers to insert timely ads that viewers are unable to bypass using fast-forward. In the past, advertisers were not so keen on VOD ads because programs often contained spots that were time

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

sensitive and of little or no interest when viewed at a later date. SPOTLIGHT: TV Bingeing The advent of DVRs and streaming video available from services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Hulu Plus has sparked a new viewing practice. TV “bingeing” finds viewers spending extended periods (which could be a few hours or entire weekends) watching episode after episode of a series and miniseries such as Netflix’s The Crown, HBO’s Game of Thrones or Hulu’s The Bear. While the providers of the streaming content are attracting and keeping subscribers in record numbers. (Netflix had more than 223 million global streaming subscribers by mid-2022, and its own Netflix-produced movies and programs are among the most popular of all streaming content.) 10) Embedded Advertising/Product Placement/Branded Entertainment and Marketing Soar Today, more than ever, marketers are seeking ways to get their products and brands in front of consumers in a relevant and effective manner through embedded advertising. This is the practice of arranging for products and brands to be seen in use by entertainers or athletes, or in relation to a specific event or locale. For example, marketers very frequently pay substantial fees to have characters in a movie drive a certain make of car or drink a certain brand of soft drink. This is often true in television as well. A related concept is native advertising, in which media content appears to be editorial in nature rather than looking like advertising. Embedded and native ads now go far beyond product placement in films and TV shows. For example, “advertorials” in magazines have become as commonplace as “infomercials” on television. Often, these advertorials are eight to 16 pages in length, and contain useful information such as travel tips, fashion guides or recipes, and may feature photos of or quotes from noted personalities. Unfortunately for the consumer, it is often difficult to tell where editorial content leaves off and advertorials begin. Sponsored content (also known as “native advertising”) is growing in its share of ad space and spending. A service called Taboola provides advertisers with a convenient way to get this content onto social media. Taboola claims that such native ads receive 10-times higher engagement than standard ads. Companies specializing in sponsored

www.plunkettresearch.com

ad production and placement include Vice and BuzzFeed. Branded entertainment can be an effective way to embed brands. This can take myriad forms. PepsiCo, for example, paid for a high-quality movie titled First Descent about snowboarding. Pepsi’s Mountain Dew soft drink appears occasionally in the movie. This ties into Mountain Dew’s sponsorship of sports events and other efforts to associate the brand with action sports. Likewise, the James Bond series of films embeds sponsor ties such as luxury watches worn by the character or sports cars driven in the films. SPOTLIGHT: Branded Entertainment Branded entertainment is entertainment programming or content whereby a brand's message, image or positioning is built into the content in a vital and relevant manner. The benefits may include an opportunity to break through the advertising “clutter;” a chance to align the brand with relevant stars, athletes, settings or scripts; or a new opportunity to reach target audiences in a meaningful and memorable way. Another type of advertising is “product placement,” in which advertisers pay to have their products on set in films, videos and television. Classic film examples include Reese’s Pieces in the 1982 film E.T. and Ray-Ban sunglasses in the Tom Cruise film Top Gun. A growing number of TV shows, especially reality-based programming, are providing advertisers with means of reaching viewers with implanted advertising as well. This is vital since, with the advent of DVRs, viewers are fastforwarding through ads or skipping them altogether. The Journal of Management and Marketing Research cited a Nielsen study which found that product placement on TV can boost brand awareness by as much as 20%. Other newly popular alternatives to classic 30and 60-second commercials are advertiser sponsorships. Even newscasters are reporting stories behind desks holding branded cups of coffee. Formerly NBC’s and now USANetwork’s reality show The Biggest Loser regularly showed weightloss contestants eating at sponsor Subway’s restaurants or trainers exhorting the benefits of eating Yoplait yogurt. Yet another booming branded entertainment venue lies in brand placement within electronic games. Revenues for this practice are soaring, and advertising within video games is a perfect example

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

of reaching a passionate interest group. An IGANielsen study reported that 82% of consumers reacted positively to seeing contextual in-game ads during game play. The launch of revolutionary game players accelerated the trend. While electronic games reach a surprisingly large number and variety of households, they are particularly effective for reaching young males under 25 years of age—a segment that is spending less and less time viewing traditional media. Chrysler has been especially successful by embedding its Jeep brand in this medium. NBC effectively ties Twitter into its popular The Voice reality singing show. Viewers are diving into “second screen engagement” as they send and receive tweets on their smartphones while they watch the show. Tweets sent by the coaches are timed with peak activity when the show airs, driving more viewers to watch and engage in the Twitter conversation. Advertisers can ride on Twitter’s coattails by using the show’s hashtag (#TheVoice) in its own tweets, sent just after a commercial airs. 11) Social Media Rakes in Global Online and Mobile Ad Revenues With more than 3 billion social media users worldwide, global ad spending on such platforms is soaring. Facebook (www.facebook.com), owned by Meta Platforms, continues to be the dominant site among social media worldwide. As of January 2023, Facebook had 2.963 billion monthly active users. The company is building targeted advertising revenues based on likes and dislikes established in users’ profiles, to the extent that it is now one of the largest generators of online advertising revenue. Advertisers want to be where potential customers are, and Facebook reported in early 2021 that its average user spends 33 minutes each day on the site. In May 2020, Facebook announced the launch of its Shops ecommerce initiative. Shops enables small businesses to set up ecommerce stores on Facebook or Instagram. Other sites such as Shopify can link to those sites. While the virtual storefronts are free, Facebook is generating revenue from in-house payment system users who will pay to increase stores’ visibility. Shopping within social media is an important trend, and social media firms hope to make this into a very significant revenue generator by collecting fees on each sale made. Advertisers have the ability to track customers who are directed to their sites from Facebook, as well as specify goals such as increasing “Likes” or converting more clicks to sales. Advertisers also

www.plunkettresearch.com

have control of where ads appear on Facebook, either in users’ newsfeeds or in a column of ads on the right side of the site’s pages. In addition, advertisers can use the site’s Custom Audience tool to specify potential customer attributes (gender, interests, location, etc.) and the Lookalike Audiences tool to find potential customers who are similar to existing customers. LinkedIn is designed to help users network for business opportunities, and to help job seekers and recruiters connect. The site was launched in 2003, and by early 2022, it had exceeded 810 million registered users in 24 different languages. LinkedIn has revolutionized the employee recruiting industry single-handed, as each user’s home page’s functions well as an online resume. Recruiters constantly comb the users’ information in order to identify people with certain qualifications, using sophisticated online tools provided by LinkedIn on a monthly subscription basis. In 2016, LinkedIn was acquired by Microsoft for about $26 billion. Microsoft is focusing on adding services and features to its cloud-based businesses and sees LinkedIn as a logical extension of Microsoft’s services for business customers. China’s TikTok global music video platform and social network, owned by ByteDance, is one of the top global social networks. TikTok had 834.3 million monthly active users according to Insider Intelligence as of early 2023. On the video front, YouTube (www.youtube.com), part of Google, has long been a free-of-charge site for sharing video uploaded by YouTube members. The company earns very significant revenues through the sale of online ads. In addition, it intends to be a major provider of premium online content for paid subscribers. The site has social media elements, since members connect to create video groups that share similar interests. Videos can be uploaded by their creators as available for public viewing, or as private videos with limited access. In order to add to its videos contributed by amateur users and professionals or corporations who want to build video audiences, YouTube has partnered with major content providers such as CBS, Sony Music Group, the BBC, NBA, Warner Music Group, The Sundance Channel and Universal Music Group. YouTube is truly global in scope. In an effort to encourage international users, YouTube has established local sites in dozens of nations. Twitter is working to attract advertisers with tools such as Amplify, which allows Twitter to sell ads in conjunction with television and other media

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

companies. Using Amplify, networks post brief video replays of just-aired programming sponsored by advertisers. A&E Networks, BBC America and ESPN were early partners with Amplify. Many TV ads and some programs feature Twitter hashtags to promote discussions. Twitter and Facebook face stiff competition from other social outlets including Pinterest and Snapchat. Snapchat users share photos and videos taken on their smartphones. Snapchat offers Discover, a service that links content from a broad array of sources such as ESPN, the Food Network, CNN, National Geographic, Yahoo! News and Warner Music Group. Users swipe their mobile screens from left to right to change images, and up and down to view full video or news articles posted by the content sources, which include advertising. Pinterest is an extremely social site that enables users to create online bulletin boards (“pinboards”) of photos, videos, ideas, dreams and comments. Each image posted is called a “pin.” In 2022, Google’s and Facebook’s combined market share of digital ad spending in the U.S. fell to 48.4%, according to Insider Intelligence, Inc. The two powerhouses previously accounted for more than 50% of the market for every year since 2014. The decline is due to brands spending ad dollars on alternative sites and formats, such as the wildly popular TikTok. Insider Intelligence expected the two sites’ share to fall to 44.9% in 2023. In China, a social media app called Weixin/WeChat has largely taken the place of Facebook and Twitter (both of which are officially banned in China). Google sites, including YouTube, as well as Instagram, are also banned. The Weixin/WeChat app features games, chat and social media in one package. Weixin is owned by Tencent, a Chinese internet firm known for its online games and the QQ instant messenger service. Tencent markets Weixin outside China, particularly in Southeast Asia, Europe and Latin America under the brand WeChat. 12) Email Reigns as One of the Single Most Effective Advertising Tools Marketing and advertising managers have determined that email may not only be their most effective ad tool, but is also likely to be the most cost effective. The challenges include attracting consumers and capturing their email addresses, properly maintaining databases of those email addresses, and publishing relevant, useful emails that will maintain the interest of those consumers.

www.plunkettresearch.com

Ads in the form of emails are not new. Advertisers have been emailing existing as well as potential customers for years. What is a growing phenomenon, however, is the use of automated series of emails based on a customer’s behavior, triggered by such actions as subscribing to a site, browsing through merchandise online or searching for particular items or keywords. Email series can include a string of welcome emails, teasers relating to browsed merchandise or reminders that items were placed in an online shopping cart but not purchased. For example, a user wanting to receive enewsletters clicks a “Subscribe” link on a web site and is prompted to enter a first name, last name and an email address. The site responds with a first message, welcoming the user to the subscription list and possibly offering a first-time discount offer good for several days. That first “welcome” email is followed by a second a few days later, which may encourage the user to connect to the site via social media or to recommend the site to friends. Another email follows shortly before the discount offer expires as a reminder to shop the site and enjoy the discount. The automated series builds a relationship and sets the stage for further emails based on the user’s behavior (such as a thank you email for a purchase, or a message prompting a return to the site if the user has not visited again). A growing number of companies now offer advanced email technology platforms and support automated email series, with services such as data collection and analysis, email design and response tracking. Companies like Oracle Bronto, Constant Contact and MailChimp provide marketing platforms for companies to run email marketing campaigns. In many cases, sophisticated marketers use these email services to support multi-channel (such as online, physical location and catalog) marketing campaigns. These firms typically charge a base monthly fee plus a modest fee per thousand emails sent. Key features include the ability for email recipients to opt-out if they no longer want to receive emails, along with other tools that assist email marketers in keeping their campaigns within the guidelines of the CANSPAM Act, a federal law that governs commercial use of email within the U.S. A prime strategy of sophisticated email marketers is the segmentation of their consumer email lists, based on past purchases, geography, responses to online surveys and other methods. This enables them to provide the most relevant and timely email messages, tailored specifically to the recipient.

13) Newspapers and Magazines Rely on Digital Editions and Apps The printed publishing industry is undergoing drastic changes, including the sectors of books, magazines and newspapers. The internet has largely changed the way that people seek daily news, reading material and entertainment. Many publications have been struggling to maintain their subscription and advertiser bases, often without much success. For many publishing firms, plummeting advertising revenues and shrinking readerships have wreaked financial havoc. Savvy newspaper publishers are evolving into hybrid business models based on both printed editions and powerful online sites. Others have completely dropped their costly print runs and gone to online-only. For example, the Christian Science Monitor, once considered to be among the finest newspapers in America, stopped printing a daily newspaper and went to online delivery only in 2009. As for magazines, most have suffered significant drops in ad pages. Ladies Home Journal shut down regular print publication after 130 years. Like newspapers, magazines are earning a rapidly growing portion of their revenues online, and virtually all major magazines have created apps to provide digital versions of their publications. Magazine publishing giant Condé Nast folded its long-lived cooking magazine called Gourmet in recent years, focusing instead on its Bon Appetit magazine, which appeals to a similar audience. Bon Appetit has been modernized to appeal to a broader, younger audience, and all printed edition subscribers now have free access to the digital app version. While older generations of Americans were hooked on daily newspapers as their primary source of news, newer generations have enjoyed much greater choices of news media and have developed their own, more modern habits. For example, the extreme popularity of cable TV news coverage from CNN and weather coverage from The Weather Channel make newspapers much less dominant. Smartphone apps deliver instant, mobile access to a vast variety of news, weather and entertainment content. The rapidly growing use of specialty internet sites like Craigslist, eBay, Monster.com and Autotrader.com is slicing market share from classified ads. Craigslist, an extremely popular, localized news and classified ads site with a grassroots feeling, has already expanded to more than 700 cities in 70 nations.

www.plunkettresearch.com

Newspapers are fighting back by putting more and more emphasis on their own local web sites. For example, most newspapers enable advertisers to write their own classified ads in an online form, and then preview and purchase the ad online. That classified ad is typically shown both in the printed newspaper and in the online edition. Other newspapers are improving online search at their web sites, so that consumers can easily find local services, stores and restaurants with a simple search. Many newspapers, including The Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times and The New York Times are successfully generating very substantial revenues by charging subscriptions for full online access. Some of the largest newspaper organizations have entered the weekly newspaper business in a huge way, to better appeal to audience segments that include non-English speakers, young people and consumers in affluent suburbs or revitalized downtown areas. These weeklies tend to be smaller, more fun to read, and given away to consumers for free. Staff costs are minimal. Advertising in them appeals to smaller businesses, because the cost of an ad may be one-fourth the rate of advertising in a higher-circulation daily paper. Some of these papers are aimed at Spanish-language speakers and other ethnic groups. Other weekly newspapers are called “shoppers,” that is, they are filled with discount coupons and shopping tips. While the number of printed ad pages has fallen, ads in digital form have been on the rise. Some major magazine publishers, such as Condé Nast have acquired advertising-technology firms to help bolster revenue. Another trend in magazine advertising is for periodicals to create and customize ads that relate to editorial content in new ways. Hearst worked with electronics manufacturer LG to place ads near the tables of contents in House Beautiful and Cosmopolitan. The House Beautiful ad read “Is this simply a home magazine? Or a recipe for living?” and had an internet link to an LG-backed microsite that discussed kitchen appliances. The Cosmopolitan ad was about using LG cellphones to send text messages to friends. The big challenge for all magazine and newspaper publishers is remaining competitive and innovative in an increasingly digital entertainment and media landscape. A multi-step strategy has been adopted by many publishers: 1) Operate their own robust web sites, where they provide multiple features such as blogs and reader-

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

generated commentary, along with videos and advertising. 2) Use new technology and the latest software to create mobile app editions specifically designed to be highly interactive on smartphones and tablets. The growing popularity of smartphones as well as mobile platforms with large color screens, such as the iPad and newer Kindles, means that advertisers have the potential to create enticing ads with multiple features such as video and music, along with links to further information. 3) Continue to maintain print operations and publications alongside new digital formats. In these cases, publishers must properly train and incentivize their advertising sales teams to sell advertising on all available platforms, printed and digital. 14) Billboards Go Digital Outdoor advertising (billboards and similar venues), also known as out-of-home advertising, grew to $8.6 billion in 2022, up 20.7% from 2021 according to the Out of Home Advertising Association of America (OAAA). One of the hottest venues for advertising is plasma billboards. Take a stroll around Times Square in Manhattan, wait for the tube in London, look across the Huangpu River to the Pudong area in Shanghai or drive down the strip in Las Vegas and you will see glaring examples. These dynamic screens, able to rapidly change messages or display continuous video streams, can be both eyecatching and relevant, in contrast to their static precursors. Benefits include the ability to alter timesensitive messages such as dates, times or prices. For example, over the course of a day a restaurant could change the pictures on the board to display breakfast, lunch or dinner items to entice passersby. Many other creative uses are possible with these new signs. Mega LED Technology, Inc., www.megasigninc.com, (formerly Mega Sign) operates a national network of LED digital-video billboards in high-traffic locations. OUTFRONT Media, formerly CBS Outdoor, www.outfrontmedia.com, operates more than 500,000 outdoor media displays throughout the U.S., including billboards, street furniture advertising (such as bus stops and kiosks), transit advertising on buses and freestanding, lighted signs in malls. Clear Channel Outdoor, clearchanneloutdoor.com, operates a national network of digital billboards. For example, it has a grouping of these signs clustered near the Las Vegas Strip, and dozens of signs in hightraffic locations in Los Angeles. Clear Channel’s digital billboards feature no ad production costs.

www.plunkettresearch.com

Eight advertisers rotate continuously on each sign, each one having eight seconds to display an image. Images can be scheduled to run at certain times of the day or on certain days of the week. Ocean Outdoor U.K. Ltd. (www.oceanoutdoor.com) offers a digital advertising system that equips billboards with cameras. Footage from the cameras is instantaneously beamed to computers which analyze the images of people near the billboard in use for gender, age and clothing. Targeted ads are then displayed to suit the noted characteristics. In addition, the system beams out free Wi-Fi, on which users share data that helps to further refine the choice of ads displayed. 15) Location-Based Services (LBS) Enhance Smartphones and Mobile Advertising LBS: LBS (Location-Based Services) refer to the use of GPS features in smartphones in order to display information relevant to a user's location. For example, GPS-enabled smartphones can provide family members with the current location of children. Also, LBS can provide users with information about nearby restaurants and other local features, including retail stores, which can utilize LBS to alert shoppers to merchandise specials. Location-based social networking is growing in popularity, since subscribers to LBS may elect to enable other subscribers to know their locations in real time. Augmented Reality via Smartphones: Augmented reality is any technology designed to enhance a user's experience by adding to the environment with computer-generated means. Nokia engineers have introduced a prototype of a Mobile Augmented Reality Application (MARA) that uses a GPS sensor, a compass and accelerometers on a mobile phone. The system allows a user to aim the phone’s camera at a place such as a building and retrieve information about that building and nearby businesses and landmarks from an external database, downloaded via fast wireless internet access. For example, a phone aimed at a sports venue such as the Staples Center in Los Angeles could display information about Lakers professional basketball tickets and schedules, nearby parking lots and prices, plus restaurant menus and prices inside the center. Dozens of excellent augmented reality apps are available for the iPhone and for Android-based phones. Mobile ads face multiple challenges, due to the nature of the platform. That is, smartphone screens are vastly smaller than desktop monitors. This can make ads seem more intrusive or even annoying. Ad

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

producers are being challenged to make them more relevant or entertaining, or to deliver high value via discount offers and coupons. Smartphone browsers may not accept cookies, which can make it more difficult to track or retarget a consumer who clicks on a link in a mobile ad. These problems are among the reasons that advertisers pay lower fees for mobile ads than full size online ads. One of the mobile sectors with the greatest potential is the display of ads to mobile users of social media such as Twitter and Facebook. Here, ads can be positioned as part of the overall social media experience. GPS technology is allowing advertisers to push information to mobile consumers based on their locations. For example, GPS-equipped smartphones have the potential to alert consumers on the go to nearby restaurants, entertainment attractions and special sale events at retailers. One noteworthy example is GPShopper, which offers mobile app features with which retailers can build customer loyalty and drive store traffic. A key part of the firm’s technology is the use of “beacons” that its retailer clients place within their stores. These beacons send a message to nearby smartphone users, alerting them to the fact that they are near special merchandise or enabling them to get special discounts on nearby items. GPShopper is owned by Synchrony Financial. In the U.S., smartphone owners must opt-in or be viewing an internet site before they can be subjected to ads. However, there are many offerings that U.S. consumers may find compelling enough to get them to opt-in. To begin with, millions of American smartphone users are now buying subscriptions to smartphone TV programming, music programming, games and sports programming, which may contain ads. Virtually all digital consumers use their smartphones to access internet sites that contain ads in addition to their primary content. At Heathrow Airport near London, and in London’s train stations and shopping malls, consumers carrying Bluetooth-enabled smartphones may come within range of transmitters alerting them to digital ads and offers. The smartphone ads may be combined with nearby billboards for greater effect. Content often includes interviews with musicians or entertainers, spots about new cars, or travel-related services. The spots tend to be about 30 seconds long, and high levels of consumers who are in range, about 10%, have downloaded the ads. China’s Changsha IFS mall offers a 5G Mixed Reality shopping navigator for smartphones called

www.plunkettresearch.com

iGO. It combines 5G, augmented reality and interactive marketing tools to help users find their way around the nine-level mall, engage in personalized shopping (including special offers from different retailers) and an interactive treasure hunt game. iGO opens directly from WeChat so users do not have to download a standalone app. Mobile Advertising and Marketing Companies to Watch: AdMob, www.admob.com, owned by Google, is a mobile phone ad distributor that offers both advertisers and publishers an opportunity to target and personalize smartphone advertising for more than 1 million advertisers around the globe. It offers mobile web users access to business listings, sports scores, weather, flight information, movie times, mobile downloads and more. InMobi, www.inmobi.com, headquartered in Bangalore, India is a performance-based mobile ad network. Agencies and advertisers leverage InMobi platforms to create HTML5 rich media ads. In late 2020, Google led a $145 million investment in InMobi’s social media startups Glance and Roposo, both of which are divisions of InMobi’s mobile app marketing business. 16) Private Label Brands Grow in Share of Total Store Sales Discount stores and a number of other retailers are offering more and more products that are private label. Instead of being limited to selling branded products from major manufacturers like Procter & Gamble, growing numbers of stores are contracting for the manufacture of store-branded merchandise. Such is the case with Walmart and its Ol’ Roy dog food, the George line of apparel or the Sam’s Choice products found in its Sam’s Club stores. One-half of the goods sold at Target and Kroger stores are now privately branded (Kroger owns and operates dozens of manufacturing facilities in the U.S.). Costco’s Kirkland Signature brand is on everything from cookware to paper goods to food items. Although this method has long been used by department store chains and a handful of specialty store chains, few have picked it up with as much enthusiasm or effectiveness as the discount retailers. Rampant inflation in 2022 deeply challenged consumers’ household budgets and caused sales of private label goods to grow due to their lower prices. Sales of private-label items are generally growing at a faster rate than those of name brands. Overall, private-label sales in the U.S. (in supermarkets, drug

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

stores, mass-market merchandisers and club and dollar stores) reached $199 billion in 2021, up from $158.8 billion in 2020 and $142.3 billion in 2019, according to the Private Label Manufacturers Association (PLMA). One out of every four products sold in the U.S. has a private label or is a store brand. Supermarket company Kroger Co. saw private label sales rise by more than 10% after adding 147 new store-brand products in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the same quarter of 2021. New products included Kroger’s brand called Smart Way, which launched in September 2022 and was already purchased by two million households by the end of the quarter. Europe’s Koninklijke Ahold Delhaize NV reported that store brands account for half of all sales in the Netherlands and Belgium (compared to only about 30% in the U.S.). France’s Carrefour says that private label products account for 33% of sales currently and plans to increase that share to 40% by 2026. Many consumers have determined that store brands consistently offer high quality at much lower everyday prices. Retailers note that store brands boost customer loyalty. As an alternative to going through the painful process of establishing their own brand names, discount stores have also been picking up brands that have been left by the wayside. Taking brand names that were abandoned by their original manufacturers, or ones whose trademarks have expired, the retailer then releases the product afresh, relying on the memories of its customers to inspire renewed sales of the product. A prime, and somewhat ironic, example of this is White Cloud toilet paper, which was originally made by Procter & Gamble. After P&G dropped the brand, it was picked up by Walmart. Taking advantage of a once well-recognized brand name, Walmart put its White Cloud private brand toilet paper on all its shelves and saw sales skyrocket as customers remembered an old favorite. Sitting next to it on the shelves, at a slightly higher price, was Charmin, the toilet paper currently made by Procter & Gamble. Amazon.com is into private labels in a big way. Amazon launched a line of house brand items called Amazon Elements. Initial products included diapers and baby wipes. Diapers have long been a very highvolume item for Amazon. The Elements line is designed to appeal to eco-conscious and qualityconscious consumers. The firm provides very deep product origin information, such as where and when each item was made and the sources of ingredients. Amazon has also developed a line of electronic accessories called AmazonBasics, which has

www.plunkettresearch.com

diversified to offer a wide variety of products such as fitness equipment, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom items, garden and outdoor furniture, home office supplies and much more. 17) LOHAS-Socially Conscious Consumers Create Challenges and Opportunities for Advertisers and Marketers LOHAS, an acronym for Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability, is a term used to describe the segment of consumers whose purchases are influenced by matters such as corporate social responsibility, recyclable materials, energy efficiency, organic contents, toxicity, allergens, environmental impact and alternative living styles. “Eco-friendly” products are important to them, but these consumers should not be confused with extreme “greens” or environmental fanatics. LOHAS consumers typically prefer to buy organic or “natural” foods, dietary supplements and personal care products; they also often prefer alternative medicines and therapies in the form of acupuncture, massage and herbal remedies. Furthermore, these consumers tend to be strong advocates for renewable energy and seek out socially conscious products and companies. LOHAS consumers are from all age groups and income levels. Although this group of people is far from homogeneous, it represents a significant and growing portion of the consumer market. Some of their issues have begun to gain popular momentum. In the face of growing levels of obesity, pervasive chemicals and hormones found in food, and the world’s massive fossil fuel consumption, concerns about personal health and sustainable energy have begun to affect consumer buying practices. As a result, many more companies have begun to present themselves as environmentally and socially conscious entities. Many have taken steps to build green facilities, to place stricter controls on the working conditions at factories run by suppliers, or to ensure that fair wages are paid by suppliers. Many also contribute significant sums to charitable organizations. A vast segment of consumers wants to utilize household products and cosmetics that are free of toxic chemicals and that have a lower impact on the environment. Often, they are willing to pay a bit more to satisfy this personal interest. A good example of this trend is the Honest Company. Founded by celebrity actress Jessica Alba, Honest states that it is a “wellness brand with values rooted in consciousness, community, transparency

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

and design.” Its marketing strategy is to offer products that avoid certain chemicals while featuring innovative styles or designs. At the same time, the firm discusses the amount of time and money that it gives back to charitable causes. The celebrity status of its founder, combined with savvy marketing and positioning, has generated great success. Merchandise includes baby products (including diapers), bath and body products, cosmetics and vitamins. Magazines as diverse as Shape and Town and Country have devoted entire issues to environmentally friendly topics. Advertisers jumped to provide eco-sensitive ads highlighting products that fall into “green” categories such as those using recycled packaging or non-animal tested. The trend has gathered strength, with regular columns and articles appearing every month in issues of a wide variety of publications. Recent trends in high energy costs have combined with the global financial crisis to boost the LOHAS mentality. Consumers are now much more financially conservative, and they want items that are of lasting value. A “less is more” mentality will spread. For example, the continual growth in the size of the average new home built in the U.S. has stopped, and homes will be smaller, but smarter, going forward. The same is true in automobiles, as evidenced by the tremendous success of the small, but smart, cars like the Prius and the Mini. Health care costs and other considerations are boosting demand for products that promote a healthy lifestyle. Discount giant Walmart made news when it informed its 100,000 suppliers that they must disclose full environmental costs of making their products. Walmart will then compile a “sustainability index” based on the information and assign a grade to each supplier. In 2019, a number of shampoo, detergent and packaged food companies were expected to begin offering products in reusable containers. PepsiCo, Inc., Procter & Gamble Co., Nestle SA and Unilever are designing packaging made of glass, steel or other materials that can be returned, cleaned and refilled. It remains to be seen whether or not this will become a growing sustainability trend widely supported by consumers.

Internet Research Tip: Walmart, the world's largest retailer, has set dramatic goals for the application of the latest green technologies in packaging, energy and other areas. To see the results, go to: http://corporate.walmart.com/globalresponsibility/environmental-sustainability . Savvy retailers, manufacturers and marketers will adopt the following practices to position themselves for the LOHAS market: • Stress the utility and long-lasting value of products (as well as their inherent beauty and fashion) • Stress an organization’s sensitivity to environmental issues, energy concerns, personal health needs and restrained personal budgets • Show consumers concrete examples of value, lowered environmental impact and/or reduced costs in products and services • Cater to consumers’ concerns about health issues by supporting appropriate causes and creating tieins to health education and issues • Be aware that consumers will pay more for LOHAS-centric goods and services, but only when they see lasting value or reduced environmental impact. For example, surveys consistently show that many consumers will pay a bit more for electricity that is generated by renewable means. Another example: Each month, thousands of consumers pay a higher price for hybrid-equipped vehicles than they would have paid for traditional cars, even though it can take years and years to earn a return on that extra cost • Day-to-day consumer products must be priced within reason, even if they have high LOHAS factors Source: Plunkett Research, Ltd. 18) Growth in China’s Ad Market According to analysts at Asian advertising agency dentsu, China’s advertising spending was expected to increase by 1.9% in 2022 over 2021, to $120.8 billion. Digital advertising was expected to grow by 6%-7% yearly through 2025 in China, with market share reaching 82% by 2025. Among the biggest-spending brands on ads in China are global consumer brands such as Crest toothpaste, Colgate toothpaste, Head & Shoulders shampoo and Oil of Olay skin cream. Meanwhile,

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

local providers of vitamins, nutritional supplements and cellular telephone service are also big spenders. One of the biggest challenges in advertising effectively within China is its vast size and cultural diversity. China spans an immense geographic area, contains 1.4 billion residents and is marked by many regional differences in consumer tastes, sensitivities, dialects and income levels. For example, the coastal areas, booming with manufacturing and service industry jobs, contain households that are more educated, more mobile and more affluent than most inland areas. Approximately 1 billion Chinese have smartphones. 19) Growth in Big Data Supported by Expansion of Cloud Computing and Predictive Analytics “Big data” refers to the massive sets of digital information that are generated and captured at an accelerating rate by a wide variety of enterprises. For example, the digitization of health care records for hundreds of millions of patients is creating massive data sets. Likewise, the recording of activities of billions of monthly users of Facebook creates big data that is key to Facebook’s ability to generate advertising revenues. Today, advertising of all types is being adjusted on a continuous basis due to the analysis of big data, often in real-time. Top technology companies such as IBM are seeing tremendous growth in this segment. A growing trend is the generation of big data sets by remote wireless sensors in heavy industry, transportation and agriculture. The analysis of big data is creating enormous opportunities for greater efficiency in such areas as manufacturing, energy, finance, and marketing, as well as the development of intelligent transportation systems and better outcomes in health care. At the same time, challenges in the big data trend include the capture, storage, visualization and analysis of immense amounts of information in a rapid and cost-effective manner. Security and privacy are additional concerns. The hand-in-hand partner of big data is analytical software, sometimes referred to as “predictive analytics.” Gaining advantage from increasing amounts of data is accomplished via extremely powerful software algorithms that can parse reams of data at extremely high speed. That software then must present results, predictions and viewpoints that solve the needs of the organization in question. Statisticians and other professionals who can manage these tasks are in very high demand. Big data is also closely linked to the rapidly developing field of

www.plunkettresearch.com

artificial intelligence (AI), and the related study of machine learning. SAS, a global corporation known for its analytical software, recently wrote about the power of this trend at work in a major retail chain that is able to analyze data gathered from past customer transactions to determine the optimum prices to set in each of its stores. By using the latest data capture and analysis tools, the company reduced the amount of time for this weekly project from 30 hours of work to only two hours. Another example from SAS discusses a major bank that was able to reduce its regularly scheduled analysis of loan portfolios, looking for potential loan default, from 96 hours of work to only 4 hours. Such savings in time can represent very large boosts to productivity and profits. The online advertising industry has been a prime beneficiary of the big data trend. As search engines, e-commerce sites and social media have been able to capture immense amounts of information about people who are online (often extending to consumers’ locations, tastes and demographics), they have developed highly targeted advertising opportunities for firms that want to reach specific types of consumers. Media networks including Comcast Corp.’s NBCUniversal are offering advertisers data analytics tools to target ads more effectively. Called Audience Targeting Platform, it links data in set-top boxes to buying patterns of the people who use them. The global financial industry is also a key player in big data. Now that all types of banking, investment, insurance and trading activities have been digitized and globalized, the amount of data that financial institutions must deal with offers both headaches and opportunities. On the challenges side, financial companies are faced with an everincreasing need to fend off hackers, scam artists and major fraud schemes from their digital repositories, while providing highly regulated levels of consumer privacy. At the same time, having access to reams of information about their customers enables these institutions to better tailor targeted advertising and marketing, and to make better credit and lending decisions. On the investment side, big data enables traders, hedge fund managers and mutual funds, as well as financial analysts and money managers, to conduct real-time analysis of big data sets to maximize return on investment while minimizing risk. Insurance underwriters likewise benefit greatly from the risk analysis and risk management afforded by the proper analysis of big data.

The health care industry is beginning to rely heavily on big data. One of the major initiatives within the industry is the digitization of patient records. Similarly, the compilation of massive databases containing the outcomes of all types of treatments, drug therapies and surgeries will increase reliance on big data analysis. The goals include making patient records portable and readily accessible by any caregiver, along with using stateof-the-art analysis tools to determine the most effective treatments for specific types of patients and illnesses. In addition, big data will be used to pinpoint the most effective health care organizations based on cost of care, mortality, readmission to the hospital and other factors. Such studies will help identify best practices and potentially increase costeffectiveness. At the same time, the industry will be able to create incentives for organizations shown to provide the best care. An excellent example of a big data project is NEON, the National Ecological Observatory Network. The $434 million project is being overseen by the U.S. National Science Foundation. NEON became fully operational in 2019. It has 15,000 sensors across the U.S. that collect more than 500 types of daily data from 81 field sites (47 terrestrial and 34 aquatic) such as temperature, air pressure, wind speed and direction, ozone levels and soil and water nutrients. The data not only helps boost the effectiveness of government programs, it also is available to the public free of charge, as an aid to weather forecasting and agriculture. The system generates 200 terabytes of data each year, or four times that collected and transmitted by the Hubble telescope.

Social media Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) Source: Plunkett Research, Ltd. The rapidly escalating trend of big data across a broad range of industries is a perfect fit with the expansion of cloud computing. Now, massive databases can be hosted by remote databases (in the cloud) and then accessed via the internet for analysis and action. Network technology leader Cisco Systems publishes the Cisco Global Visual Networking Index. In its latest release, it forecast that data center internet-based traffic will grow more than threefold, or a 27% compound annual growth rate, from 20172022. Traffic will reach 20.6 zettabytes (a zettabyte is about 909 million terabytes) in 2021. By 2021, 95% of all traffic will come from cloud systems. Self-Driving Cars and the IoT Require Edge Computing as an Adjunct to Cloud Computing While computing via the cloud is clearly a dominant trend today, a concept called edge computing is also growing in popularity as a supplement to cloud-based data processing. Edge computing is a local technology strategy whereby digital processing is done near the point where the data is first acquired. For example, a self-driving car generates vast amounts of data constantly. Sending that data to the cloud to be processed would create small delays in analyzing road conditions and safety threats. Such delays, even if tiny, could imperil the car and its occupants. In contrast, computing at the “edge” of the in-car laser detection system (LIDAR) and other devices would be nearly instantaneous, and portions of the data could still be transmitted via wireless networks to the cloud for further analysis. (Recent analysis shows that autonomous vehicles could generate as much as 25 gigabytes of data hourly.) Many other technology trends will drive the use of edge computing forward. M2M (machine-tomachine) communications is rapidly emerging in the form of IoT (the Internet of Things). Here, remote sensors gather vast amounts of data from machinery, aircraft, trucks, ships, infrastructure and other vital components of day-to-day life.

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

The intent is to capture data that can be rapidly analyzed in order to optimize both safety and operating efficiencies. Here, too, sending the data to the cloud may not be fast or efficient enough for the intended purpose. For example, conducting edge computing of data continuously gathered from industrial machinery, and later sending the resulting analysis on to a cloud computing center, may save factories from breakdowns and significantly reduce maintenance costs. 20) Retail Technologies and Artificial Intelligence (AI) Advance for Store Checkout and Restaurant Orders Retailers, especially grocery retailers, are investing heavily in new technology that will simplify transactions and increase customer service. Many shoppers have become used to the abundance of product information and the ease of finding it online. Brick and mortar retailers are having to find ways to offer similar information and convenience in stores. A host of advances, such as touch-screen information monitors, hand-held scanners, RFID tagging and fingerprint identification, are now in place at many stores worldwide. Checkout Technologies: Hand-held or shoppingcart mounted scanners can provide a “checkout-asyou-go” service. Shoppers pick up a scanning device and small computer monitor from a rack near the entrance (or grab a shopping cart with the device attached) and scan their store customer loyalty cards with a detachable barcode reader. Information about past purchases appears on the monitor as well as special offers dictated by personal preferences. As the shopper walks the aisles and scans items for purchase, the system keeps a running tally and suggests complementary items. Scan a jar of peanut butter, and the computer suggests buying jelly or offers an instant coupon on the brand of jelly purchased by that customer in the past. The system also beams signals to the store's central computer network regarding shoppers’ locations in the store. The monitor displays information and special offers about nearby items based on which aisle the customer happens to be in at a given time. An additional feature is the ability for shoppers to create online shopping lists at store web sites and have those lists beamed into the device and displayed on the monitor, complete with a map of the store indicating where each item can be found. Paperless receipts are catching on as growing numbers of retailers offer digital transaction receipts that can be e-mailed to customers or posted to

www.plunkettresearch.com

password-protected web sites. Participating retailers include Whole Foods Market, Gap, Inc., Sears and Kmart. Apple was a pioneer of the practice at its wildly popular stores. It also was among the first to offer checkout service from roving staff members with touch pad devices such as the iPod Touch, eliminating the need to wait in check-out lines. Panasonic offers a checkout technology in Japan in which shopping baskets are equipped with sensors that detect merchandise and calculate bill totals. Shoppers place filled baskets in a specially designed slot which slides the bottom of the basket aside and drops the merchandise into a plastic bag. Payment is made with cash or credit cards using self-service registers. By early 2023, Amazon had more than 20 Amazon Go stores offering drinks, snacks and prepared meals with no check-out lines. Shoppers use apps on their phones that communicate with instore sensors to automatically pay for the items. Stores are equipped with cameras and machinelearning software that track customers as they pluck items off shelves. Several technology startups are attempting to compete, including Vcognition Technologies’ Zippin (www.getzippin.com ) and Standard Cognition (standard.ai). Traditional retailers are beginning to test the no check-out concept, including Sam’s Club, Inc., Giant Eagle, Inc. and Tesco PLC. Smart Carts with Tablets: A new concept includes shopping carts with tablet computers attached that enable shoppers to view recipes featuring items placed in the cart or in close proximity, see suggested routes through grocery stores to find necessary items and check off shopping lists as they go. In addition, relevant coupons are beamed to customers’ smartphones. Technology firm inMarket has developed beacons to transmit data to the tablets and customer smartphones. The technology has been tested in China and is under development in the U.S. Caper, Inc. (www.caper.ai) offers a smart shopping cart with a scanner mounted on the handlebar. Shoppers scan items as they proceed through a store and pay through the same scanning unit using credit or debit cards or mobile payment. The scanning unit also displays store maps, has an item locator and offers promotions and coupons. The carts were in use in a handful of U.S. stores by 2021, including Kroger and Wakefern. In October 2021, Caper AI was acquired by Instacart. Video Restaurant Menus and Ordering Kiosks: A number of restaurant chains, including Sonic Drive-

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

Ins, are installing video menus that have point-ofpurchase (POP) dynamic content. Customers place their orders using a touch screen, which are displayed complete with the total check amounts. Suggested additional items appear, some including special discount offers or promotions. The system is provided by MICROS Systems, a subsidiary of Oracle. The technology raises average check amounts, and also increases inventory efficiency, since it is connected with the restaurants’ overall networks. If the POP is pushing a particular flavor of milkshake, for example, and customers respond, the system alerts owners to buy more ingredients. Meanwhile, Microsoft and CKE Restaurants, Inc. (which owns Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr.) rolled out selforder kiosks. Using Dell All-in-One devices, customers place their own orders and pay using credit cards or smartphone payment apps. Kiosks relay orders directly to kitchens, increasing speed and accuracy, and staff can easily update menus with seasonal offerings or promotions. The system also enables management to run sales and administrative reports, while employees can use the kiosks to clock in and out. TGI Fridays locations are equipping staff with rugged Windows tablets, loaded with MICROS software, to use in collecting orders from customers and transmitting the orders to the kitchen. Leading restaurant chain Chili’s has installed tabletop selforder devices made by Ziosk that can also receive orders, transmit them to the kitchen and handle credit card checkouts. In addition, the devices offer games and news feeds for a small additional fee. Chili’s reported reliable increases in average checks, and the machines automatically suggest a 20% top for servers who deliver food and beverages. With U.S. restaurants under considerable pressure to raise employees’ wages, many firms are keen to utilize advanced technologies that enable customers to enter and pay for their own orders, thus cutting down on the total number of staff members required to serve customers. Mobile Apps for Malls: Shopping mall owners including Simon Property Group, Westfield Group and Glimcher Realty Trust are experimenting with smartphone apps that do everything from helping shoppers remember where they parked, to providing mall maps, to alerting them to sales and promotions in nearby stores, tailored to personal preferences based on social media activity. Mall owners may also track time spent in stores by consumers and learn which displays attract the most attention. Apps include Shopkick (which was acquired by SK Planet

www.plunkettresearch.com

for $200 million), a rewards-based app that offers user points for visiting participating stores. The points can be converted into gift certificates or Facebook Credits. Apple offers its iBeacon software on the iOS mobile operating system that uses small signaling devices and works with apps such as Shopkick to alert customers to coupons or ads relating to nearby merchandise. For example, Hillshire Brands tested the software in 10 U.S. cities, finding that grocery shoppers were 20 times more likely to buy its brand of sausage when they received coupons and ads through the Epicurious recipe app. Major League Baseball placed beacons in dozens of ballparks that transmit merchandise coupons and promote seat upgrades in addition to airing short location-specific videos about stadium history. Apple hopes the software will catch on as usability becomes easier and cheaper. 21) Online Marketing, Social Media and Ecommerce Enable Startups/ Disruption in Consumer Products and Cosmetics A handful of extremely powerful trends are disrupting the consumer products and services segment. The most noteworthy may be the marketing power of the internet. Digital marketing has been incredibly disruptive, enabling startups to gain rapid popularity and grab market share from incumbents such as Unilever. Small firms can readily set up shop with their own websites and then draw traffic by utilizing a wide variety of digital platforms, such as Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram, health and beauty bloggers, Twitter and similar promotional opportunities—many of which are free-of-charge. Small firms can also reach millions of potential consumers via global sites such as the Amazon Marketplace and China’s Tmall. The Coronavirus caused online sales of consumer goods to soar. Social media has made digital marketing even more powerful for consumer goods. The fact that many consumer products, such as hair and beauty items, are best sold through images means that sites like Instagram can give products a very quick and powerful boost through user-generated photos. Consumers’ posts about new products that they like provide a further boost. Savvy marketers worldwide are making the most of this phenomenon with great success. Sales often soar when the right “influencers,” such as film stars, popular bloggers or music celebrities, are convinced to boost products

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

online, often through generous fees or the offer of a stake in the company that is being boosted. Marketing is everything in the consumer products and services world. While the barriers to launching a startup are low, the competition is fierce. It can be virtually impossible to get shelf space in drug stores or supermarkets for a new product. This makes the flexibility of the internet absolutely vital to a startup. Gross profit margins tend to be very high in many consumer products. That is, the cost to manufacture a beauty product typically represents a tiny fraction of the retail price. The greatest expense is typically in marketing. Likewise, packaging can be extremely important, and sometimes quite costly for items that sell at luxury price points. These high gross profit margins attract a large number of savvy entrepreneurs who see the opportunity to disrupt various product categories. One of the best stories is that of the Dollar Shave Club. The firm’s founder, Michael Dubin, recognized that razors and blades represented a massive market with recurring revenues. Consumers know how many blades they need each month, and traditionally, they paid substantial retail prices at stores to get their blades on a regular basis. Dubin realized that he could offer quality razors at discount prices on a subscription basis. This offered the consumer both convenience and savings. The concept quickly earned great success, gaining 3.2 million customers in its first four years of operation. Dollar Shave Club was so disruptive that it was acquired by Unilever for about $1 billion. Online marketing and social media are enabling more and more consumer products companies to reach their customers using a direct-to-consumer business model. Beauty Pie is a website that offers members steeply discounted beauty products on a monthly buying plan. Members choose from four different membership packages, each with a monthly spending limit (there is a three-month minimum requirement). The site connects its members directly with beauty suppliers at much lower prices. A lipstick may sell in a department or super beauty store for $25 while Beauty Pie offers it at a discount that might be 66% off. Another firm, at-home hair color maker Madison Reed, sells most of its products from its website, www.madison-reed.com, with a small portion sold through super beauty stores and QVC. The company offers a tool, called the Madi Chatbot, that analyzes selfies uploaded by customers and matches their hair color to Madison Reed shades.

SPOLIGHT: Coronavirus Spurs Use of AI to Personalize Consumer Products Consumers who are shopping for consumer goods online due to the Coronavirus pandemic of 2020-2021 are finding new products that are tailored to personal preferences and needs. For example, L’Oreal’s Makeup Genius app is a virtual mirror that works on smartphones, enabling users to “try on” makeup using selfies. The app had over 20 million downloads in its first year. In 2021, L’Oreal launched Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Sur Mesure Powered by Perso, a device that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to mix cartridges of different shades of lipstick to create bespoke shades tailored to the wearer. The device has a detachable compact that users can take anywhere for easy application of makeup on-the-go. Estee Lauder worked with Perfect Corp.’s YouCam Makeup virtual makeup tester to develop its iMatch Virtual Shade Expert foundation matcher and iMatch Virtual Skin Analysis for at home skin care planning.

Chapter 4 THE ADVERTISING 300: WHO THEY ARE AND HOW THEY WERE CHOSEN Includes Indexes by Company Name, Industry & Location The companies chosen to be listed in PLUNKETT’S ADVERTISING & BRANDING INDUSTRY ALMANAC are not the same as any other list of corporations. THE ADVERTISING 300 were chosen specifically for their dominance in the many facets of the advertising and branding industry in which they operate. Complete information about each firm can be found in the “Individual Profiles,” beginning later in this chapter. These profiles are in alphabetical order by company name. THE ADVERTISING 300 includes companies from all parts of the United States, Mexico, Canada, Europe and Asia, and from all advertising industry segments. Essentially, THE ADVERTISING 300 includes companies that are deeply involved in advertising, branding, public relations, mass media and marketing services as well as companies that provide consulting or technologies that are enabling companies in this industry to prosper. Simply stated, the list contains the most important firms in advertising, mass media, public relations and related industries. To be included in our list, the firms had to meet the following criteria: 1) Generally, the organizations profiled are U.S.based, for-profit corporations, subsidiaries or joint ventures. (We have also added a number of non-U.S.-based companies in order to better list leading firms in certain industry sectors.)

2) Prominence, or a significant presence, in advertising and supporting fields. (See the following Industry Codes section for a complete list of types of businesses that are covered). 3) The companies in THE ADVERTISING 300 do not have to be exclusively in the advertising field. 4) Vital statistics must have been available to the editors of this book, either directly from the company being written about or from outside sources deemed reliable and accurate by the editors. A small number of companies that we would like to have included are not listed because of a lack of sufficient, objective data. INDEXES TO THE ADVERTISING 300, AS FOUND IN THIS CHAPTER AND IN THE BACK OF THE BOOK: Index of Rankings Within Industry Groups Alphabetical Index Index of U.S. Headquarters Location by State Index of Non-U.S. Headquarters Location by Country Index of Firms Noted as “Hot Spots for Advancement” for Women/Minorities Index by Subsidiaries, Brand Names and Selected Affiliations

The firm specializes in blending promotional marketing with the latest technology to execute promotion, shopper and retail marketing programs for leading brands. Alcone's brand activation approach not only measures awareness, but also sales.

The company then develops strategies to motivate customers and shoppers to overcome the gaps, focusing on driving key activation indicators such as trial, upsizing, building average transaction size, frequency and loyalty. Alcone works with brands to support idea generation and program planning as well as to create effective promotions across all channels through its strategy and ideal development unit. The creative services unit provides branding in all types of media, including television, print, web, mobile, out of home, points of sale (POS) and events. Alcone conceives, designs, produces, coordinates and staffs events that bring brands to consumers in order to drive purchase intent and brand consideration. The firm has extensive contacts among top brands to secure and negotiate co-marketing programs on favorable terms, and also secures sports and entertainment celebrities and properties to add excitement to brand activation programs. Headquartered in Irvine, California, Alcone has domestic offices in New York and Texas.

I GROWTH PLANS/SPECIAL FEATURES:

Lexicon Branding, Inc. is an agency devoted to creating and establishing brand names. The company's research and development branch studies the client's business strategies, competitive forces and consumer needs in an effort to select the perfect brand name. Lexicon works together with clients to create a product name, and carries the process through to brand strategy development, legal clearance and customer research. Lexicon is responsible for brand names such as Subaru's Outback, Rim's BlackBerry, Proctor & Gamble's Swiffer and Febreze, Coca-Cola's Dasani, Apple's PowerBook, Intel's Pentium and Verizon's Fios. More recent clients include ForceFlex, Levi's Curve ID, ThermaCare, Rogue, Subaru, FreeAgent, Wisp and Dibs. The firm spends a portion of profits on research and development in the areas of linguistics, consumer research and creativity. It has created a knowledge base for the development of new brand names based on sound symbolism and language patterns. Lexicon studies consumer reactions to aspects of sound symbolism, such as personal associations with hard and soft consonants and the visual shapes of language characters. It also evaluates potential brand names in non-English languages, relying on such standards as meaning, pronunciation and cultural insight. Using this method, the company can create global trademarks without worry that translations of certain names will have unintended meanings or other problems that could be a liability for the product. The firm's GeoLinguistics team provides clients with comprehensive language and cultural assessments of brand names. Lexicon primarily serves customers engaged in the entertainment, consumer, startup/innovation, food & beverage, automotive, financial, technology, corporate and health sectors. Headquartered in California, USA, the firm's European branch is located in Amsterdam, Netherlands, expanding service offerings throughout Europe and the U.K.

LiveRamp generates revenue through a one-year subscription model (around 80% of total revenue) for its software. The firm also provides a marketplace for third-party data owners and data buyers, around 20% of total revenue.

PubMatic is one of the leading supply-side platforms, or SSP, providers in the digital advertising technology market.

PubMatic generates revenue mainly via taking a piece of the ad sales that it enables. Buyers on the platform include intermediary buyers, such as demand-side platforms, or advertisers and ad agencies directly. Given the growth in overall digital advertising, more publishers and advertisers are adopting programmatic (or automated) buying and selling, driving the firm's success in attracting more inventory.

Shaw Shaw Direct Shaw Business Freedom

Shaw Communications is a Canadian cable company that is one of the biggest providers of internet, television, and landline telephone services in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and northern Ontario. In fiscal 2021, more than 75% of Shaw's total revenue resulted from this wireline business. Shaw now also offers wireless service over most of Canada's population footprint after acquiring Wind Mobile in 2016. As a smaller carrier, Shaw has favored bidding status in spectrum auctions, giving it a further boost in enhancing its wireless network. At the 2019 auction, Shaw added significant amounts of 600 MHz spectrum to the 700 MHz spectrum it is currently deploying.
