Television
Keep up with the latest research on television advertising -- both conventional and direct response. Few of these studies deal with traditional program ratings. Most provide research about the effectiveness of various ad formats, creative concepts, and targeting strategies. Other articles provide demographic profiles of the consumer TV audience.
Summary: Despite the growing popularity of viewing television content online, most adults (94%) who subscribe to cable or satellite television services prefer to watch television on traditional TV sets, according to new research conducted by The Nielsen Company for the Cable & Telecommunications Association for Marketing (CTAM).

Summary: In an addressable advertising trial in Huntsville, Alabama, Comcast Cable and Starcom have shown that relevant ads can keep viewers from fleeing commercials. Households that received specific ads based on demographic data changed channels 38 percent less often than the rest of the viewing audience.

Summary: In a study of advertising's impact on consumer packaged goods sales, Google has found that online video works as well as TV. 30-second spots for drinks, snacks, and skin care were run on television, on YouTube, and embedded in other online content. All performed roughly the same, with an edge to embedded online video ads for influencing purchase intent. And that's just with repurposed content.

Summary: Just because consumers are currently watching free, short-form video does not necessarily indicate there is a viable business model to support viewing of traditional TV content online. Most of the evidence available suggests that online video content is supplementing and complimenting traditional TV content and viewing habits rather than replacing or supplanting them.

Summary: Advertisers have followed consumers who watch TV on the web, but it's beginning to look like a one-way street. Techies care deeply about bringing the web to their great big TVs, but most consumers don't care. Harris Interactive and Macrovision have learned that a mere 10 percent of the viewing public has any desire to watch downloaded video on their television sets. Those that do download content are content to watch it on their computer screens. Creative directors, take note: online video ads are likely to remain short and small.

Summary: A full-blown recession would probably take a substantial bite out of traditional media, according to a survey of industry analysts and independent researchers. But digital media will benefit from these draw-downs as financially strapped marketing executives shift dollars online, seeking more transparent measures of ROI. In many cases, a recession would simply accelerate a long-term trend that is already underway.
