Memo to Steve Jobs: the IAd Is No Miracle Worker

Tim's Pick: Memo to Steve Jobs: the IAd Is No Miracle Worker

Summary: A veil of silence hangs over the advertising industry, as thick and unattractive as Scarlett O'Hara's post-war recycled drape dress. At a mobile conference last week, the hot NON-topic was the iAd. Agency execs one after another deflected questions about Apple's iAd platform and one after another began admitting it was all due to non-disclosure agreements. We're talking about an ad unit here, not the plans to a stealth bomber and it's just odd when an industry that focuses on communication goes silent due to Apple's power in the market.

A survey released this month by Edelman examines some of the implications of this transformation for the ways in which consumers regard entertainment more broadly -- including the factors they value and are inclined to pay for.

DRTV has long been a key weapon in a direct marketer's arsenal.  This media vehicle provides the ability to reach and engage a mass audience via a low-cost delivery system of cable and spot TV inventory.
