Advertising
There is a familiar adage in the advertising industry…
“Fifty percent of your advertising budget is wasted.
The trick is know which 50% not to spend.”
Note: This quip originated as a means to justify agency sponsored advertisement that failed to produce results.
That this adage exists reveals the truth about advertising agencies. They are guessing. Adding insult to injury, they are guessing with your money. An advertising representative or manager who says such a thing should be dismissed.
Note: The term “executive” is not accurate unless the individual with whom you are working is a senior manager of the company. If the individual with whom you are working is selling advertisement, he or she is an “advertising representative.” If the individual with whom you are working is managing your account, he or she is an “account manager.” The label “executive” is just a ploy to make you think the individual with whom you are working is a heavy hitter – worthy of your money.
If an ad agency does not know the motivation behind human decisions and behavior, it is wasting your time and money. Moreover, an ad agency that is guessing can be doing your company a grave disservice, damaging your company's reputation, hurting its position in the industry and may even be losing hard-earned marketshare.
As they say, “time is money.” At this moment and every moment henceforth, your competition is gaining marketshare or losing marketshare relative to you. It is your job as a Director or Executive Manager to insure you gain marketshare at the expense of your competition. Misguided adverisement and wayward ad campaigns can be counterproductive if you or your ad agency guesses wrong.
Note: We will offer several glaring examples in a private meeting.
