adrants on blogvertising


Steve Hall over at Adrants has a few words to say about the use of weblogs as an adver­ti­sing medium:

One of the pri­mary bene­fits of a weblog to an ad agency is its abi­lity to simply publish current agency thought. What is your agency’s take on TiVo’s creep into the living room? How do you plan to react to that for your clients? What is your pers­pec­tive on broad­band online video adver­ti­sing? Viral adver­ti­sing? Media costs? Will sate­llite radio kill broad­cast radio? What are your thoughts on Sub­ser­vient Chic­ken type adver­ti­sing efforts? Is out­door a via­ble medium? What is your agency doing to plan for the shift in media con­trol from media com­pa­nies to the con­su­mer? Insight on all of these issues and more can demons­trate to clients and pros­pects how your agency brain ticks. And it can do it without giving up that “pro­prie­tary process.”

There’s some other good things weblogs are good for in this area, that he doesn’t men­tion. I don’t men­tion them either, unless some­body is paying me first. Heh.
And yes, Steve’s still loo­king for a job. But he’s tal­king to peo­ple quite seriously as well. Offers are on the table etc. So it’s all good.
