Media transparency the biggest challenge last year and next

Posted on January 13, 2017 by Darren Woolley

2016 was, generally speaking, a difficult year for the world. Brexit, the US election, and a number of iconic world figures dying, and various natural disasters, have not made for high levels of morale or happiness. So can we at least spread a bit of cheer in our tiny little corner of the world, that of the marketing industry? Unfortunately not; the past year has given us very little to cheer about. If advertisers are looking for some relief from the challenges and issues of the past year, I suggest they make sure they are well rested going into 2017 based on the biggest issues we have noted in 2016.

What can marketers do now to manage brands through the media transparency debate?

Posted on June 15, 2016 by Nathan Hodges

There’s an old saying. If it swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then even if it’s not 100% duck, it’s certainly been ducking around. Last week’s ANA report on media transparency, and whatever follows in Australia, means that this issue is going to run and run. Maybe it’s the refreshing clarity of the ANA report that has finally made the problem impossible to ignore. But it cannot be a surprise to anyone in the industry for more than five minutes – agencies, marketers or publishers – that the issue itself has finally come to a head. Continue reading →

Is Media Transparency desirable only until it costs advertisers money?

Posted on May 6, 2016 by Darren Woolley

There is a lot of discussion regarding the importance of transparency in media, especially in regards to digital media and programmatic buying. The discussions in the US between the advertisers, represented by the ANA, and the agencies, represented by the 4As, led to open public disagreements and calls for apologies.
The same discussions are being held between their various counterparts around the world. Even in Australia the Media Federation representing the media agencies developed and provided guidelines on transparency with their advertisers counterpart the AANA. But it is interesting having discussions with advertisers on an individual basis regarding media transparency. It appears that on an individual basis the attitude is more aligned with the famous ad man Bill Bernbach “It’s not a principle until it costs you money.” Continue reading →

APAC advertisers can no longer ignore the issues of media agency transparency

Posted on September 26, 2016 by Darren Woolley

With reports last week of over-charging of digital media by the Dentsu Aegis Network, with one of their most significant and longest-standing clients, Toyota Motor Corporation of Japan, advertisers across the region need to reflect on their own media agency arrangements rather than to continue to ignore the issue thinking it is an isolated issue or one for the USA alone. If this behaviour can occur in a market where trust and honour are such core concepts to business practice, between two such long standing business partners, then how can any right thinking person not believe it is happening elsewhere across the region?
