One of the insights I came away from a recent meeting in NYC with one of the world’s largest ad agencies was the profound shift in attitude towards the value of Web-based editorial content as a demand generator vs. classic Madison Avenue TV and print ad formats.
The meeting was with the agency’s interactive team. You sensed immediately, five minutes into the meeting that this group was attracting the firms best and brightest. The team was dedicated to creating world-class Web content in multiple formats—blogs, social media, expert-text features, podcasts, webcasts—that would establish their clients, which ranged from Fortune 50 hightech to Fortune 50 financial and consumer—as thought leaders.
Web-based educational content with high IP value is roaring past traditional print and network tv as the smart media demand generator of choice.
