  • Advertising during major sporting events is nothing to be afraid of Advertising during major sporting events is nothing to be afraid of23.05.2012 Major events such as the upcoming European Football Championships or the Olympic Games are sure to be occasions for real excitement, not only enthralling spectators in the venues themselves, but also captivating an audience of millions watching the events unfold on television. TV viewing times will soar – yet broadcasters which are not airing any of the matches or competitions will see their audiences diminish. Surely this is a good reason not to show TV adverts while such major events are underway? Mediaplus' response to this question is a resounding "no!". press release 23 May 2012

  • The democratisation of brand management – how the marketing industry responds to the destructuring of society The democratisation of brand management – how the marketing industry responds to the destructuring of society15.03.2012 The GfK and Serviceplan Group Roadshow will be taking place in 2012 for the 20th time - and this year once again under the patronage of the Markenverband, the German Brands Association. The destructuring of society is leading to a long-term decline in sales in Germany for the first time since the 1950s. Only a new style of brand management, more focused on added value, can compensate for the relentless fall in volume and ensure that turnover continues to rise. The secret of success is "the democratisation of brand management" – the theme of the 2012 GfK and Serviceplan Group Roadshow. Marketing managers do not always fully recognise the changes in socioeconomic factors and how they affect sales. Nearly 50 per cent of them see no reason for there to be any consequences. But how can the fall in volume be compensated for? What should a new, value-based style of brand management look like? The facts about the destructuring of society, and recommendations about what can be done about it in practice, will be presented at the 2012 Roadshow in Munich, Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Cologne, Vienna and Zurich. 15 March 2012
