idea posted by Shiuli Mukherji Head Strategy Plan- , Region SEA

The death of the 30 sec spot has been announced already several times and it’s still there, alive and kicking, still one of the most powerful marketing media techniques. The standards in the current world are higher than in David Ogilvy’s days though. Creativity is key to jump out of the clutter. 

The demand for, and the value of, the traditional 30 second spot ad depends on the perception of advertisers that these TV spots offer the best way to deliver brand messages to mass market audiences of consumers. And so the biggest threats are the perception:

a) That other forms of media provide more cost effective ways of delivering these messages,
b) That the audiences and effectiveness of these traditional TV spots is diminishing.

Good measurement and research will enable advertisers to properly understand the real effectiveness of TV spot advertising (Live, time-shifted, addressable, on-demand) and to properly compare the value of TV advertising against alternative forms of media. Good comparative measurement and research may show that current speculation about the threat to the traditional 30 second spot ad leads to a real future opportunity.

Television has always used its shows to sell the sponsor's soap I mean products through placing it in the right slot for it to get maximum awareness among the TV users. But the recent audiences find more ways to zap those commercial messages and spend less time watching TV overall, networks are scrambling to find new ways to make shows sing for their tune.

In many TV shows you can see one of the episode where a new cell phone is used, and in which the characters discuss about the product for some time. At the very next commercial break, the audience is shown the ad of that product. These examples are a tiny glimpse of what one media pundit calls "desperation marketing" - advertisers going beyond simple product placement to capture the hearts and wallets of increasingly ad-wary consumers who are spending more time online and on cellphones and less watching TV.

While the traditional commercial is not extinct quite yet, it's on the endangered list according to me...And as Markand has said you have said the right things and nothing to explain much. Thanks for the post Shiuli
