Is Advertising Dead?

Columbia University Morningside Campus, Fayerweather Room 310

Speakers:

Jeff DeJoseph

In the age of a fundamentally new media environment, does traditional television image advertising still have a role in brand building? Consumers are expecting brands to maintain a dialogue with them and are rejecting the 'interruption' model of traditional television advertising. But does traditional TV do things that cannot be done through the new media channels--mobile and social marketing? Can major brands develop full, powerful consumer equity without old-fashioned TV?

This workshop will explore whether new media can convey what traditional advertising communicates-emotion, quality, personality-and if the critical and essential parts of brand building are being left behind in the mad dash to the future.
