Viacom: Ad Market So Bad We’re Not Making Predictions Anymore

dauman.jpg

viacom (via) ceo philippe dauman erudite his lecture in q2: he’s better off not making predictions in this ad market. on may 29, with one month left in q2, dauman warned that viacom wouldn’t be delivering the 7% year-over-year q1 advertising growth again in the impaired quarter. rather, he said, ad sales growth would be in the 3% to 4% range.

Well, it was worse than he thought. Much worse. Apparently sales fell off a cliff in June, and Viacom turned in 1% ad sales growth in the U.S. and just 2% overall, including international.


What happened? Big advertising viagra pille pullbacks achat cialis happened in retail, automotive and some consumer goods. “In the short term, the economy is going to be difficult to predict,” Dauman said.

The big question is whether the dropoff in June will impact upfront ad commitments made by advertisers for the coming TV season. Viacom had a strong upfront, but those are commitments — not firm orders. The handshake deals turn into orders in the third quarter. Unless they don’t.

Asked whether he believes those orders will materialize, Dauman skirted the question, but said there’s more risk to the last-minute “scatter” ad market than to upfront commitments. “What we don’t know is where the economy is going to be headed and how that will impact the scatter market,” he said.

On a reassuring note, Dauman said the troubled categories of advertisers, generally speaking, weren’t big players in the upfront anyway. Categories like entertainment and wireless are big upfront spenders and they’re not pulling back. Want a prediction? Check back in September.

Talking to more “Mad Men”: Pete and Peggy

Elevator_0042 Much of what’s written about AMC’s “Mad Men” focuses on Jon Hamm as existential ad man Don Draper and January Jones as desperate housewife Betty Draper. They are America in the 1950s, striding bravely forward into the lacerating changes of the ’60s, Don with his inner wounds forged on the battlefield and Betty with her apron and her emptiness. But creator Matthew Weiner plans five seasons taking his characters through the 1960s, and the characters who best represent change to come are two twentysomethings, self-absorbed junior ad man Pete Campbell and the secretary-turned-copywriter Peggy Olson.

Swingtown‘: Take My Wife. Please. I’ll Take Yours. - New York Times
May 11, 2008 Having a drink, taking a partner: The characters of "Swingtown" were inspired by the 1970s adventures of the creator's parents and their

Pete’s frustration at home and at work and Peggy’s shy resistance to the sexism at Sterling Cooper collided in some memorable illicit couplings. Peggy ended the season giving birth in secret, to a child whose existence was only rumored at the office. As we count down to the second-season premiere tonight at 10 on AMC, let’s hear from the actors who play them, Vincent Kartheiser and Elisabeth Moss, both interviewed at press tour and on the set over the last couple of weeks…

Kartheiser (right) on Pete’s troubled self-image: “The thing for Pete is, he does feel sad for himself. The first season is a lot of him saying, Why can’t I get what I want? He represents the next generation of youth, but like youth now, he’s very apathetic, very whiny, I deserve it now. He feels he’s a tragic character, underused and undermined, so he’s righteous in a way, he feels he’s doing the right thing.

“I just love him because he’s real, that’s a real man, and he’s in the room right now 20 times over. There’s a lot of men who martyr themselves and viagra kaufen trample a lot of other peoples’ dreams, and they just don’t see it.”

Elisabeth_0021 Moss (left) on Peggy’s struggle to make her way in the sexist battlefield of Sterling Cooper: “I think she’s getting used to it in a sense. What she’s getting is a lot more now. She got used to a certain level in the first season, and the second season is so much worse (now that she’s a copywriter), and she’s having to cope with that. The stakes are a lot higher for everyone in the show. She feels she got a leg up, but she has to deal with a lot more now. … She’s smart enough to know that if she shows any cracks, they’re going to go for that. She’s becoming very good at it.

“I think a lot of things are happening that she didn’t think she had in her until she had to sue them. I think the second season has a lot to do with her fighting for a place in the office. Can she be one of the boys in the office, ever? Does she want to be? What does it mean to be a woman in that environment? She has no one to look up to, no predecessor, no footsteps to follow in. She’s the first one.”

Kartheiser on preparing to play Pete: “One thing Matthew does that’s so amazing and we’re so blessed by is that he writes for us, he sees things not only with the character but in your own life. Not things that happened…but he watches what I do and adjusts to that. I’ve read a couple of advertising books from Ogilvie and that era. I watched some films that I thought I had to see, that the character would have seen, and listened to some music, but that was for the first season. Mainly it’s what Matt gives you. people aren’t nearly as tuned in to their generation and what their decade is about as they will be thirty years later, so going in with some sort of ultimate realization about the ’60s is not going to help (you play) your character.”

Mw_embts Moss (right, with Weiner) on preparing to play Peggy: “It’s funny, Matt and I don’t talk a lot acheter du viagra about the character. We tend to, thank gosh, agree on a lot of things. From the very beginning, from the first audition, I think the reason I was cast was my vision of who she was was his vision of who she was. … I think she is getting smarter and savvier with every episode and every day in that office she learns something else to do or not to do. One thing about Peggy, she’s very streetwise, she learns from her experience, and she doesn’t make the same mistake twice.

Among Sterling Cooper’s clients in the first season was, unofficially, the 1960 Nixon-for-President campaign. I told Kartheiser that Pete’s self-pity reminde

McCain rejects comments from economic adviser (Reuters)

Posted in Uncategorized on Июль 11th, 2008


BELLEVILLE, Michigan (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate John McCain on Thursday sharply rejected a top economic adviser's description of the United States as "a nation of whiners" who are in a mental recession.

Democratic White House rival Barack Obama pounced on the remarks and said they proved McCain was out of touch on the economy, a critical issue in November's presidential election.

McCain moved quickly to limit the political damage caused by the comments of adviser Phil Gramm, a former Texas senator who questioned the extent of the U.S. economic downturn in an interview with the Washington Times.

"Phil Gramm does not speak for me. I speak for me. So, I strongly disagree," McCain said. "America's in great difficulty and we are experiencing enormous economic challenges."

The Arizona senator responded sharply when asked if Gramm would have a key role in buy baclofen a potential McCain administration.

"I think Senator Gramm would be in serious consideration for ambassador to Belarus, although I'm not sure the citizens of Minsk would welcome that," he said.

In the Times interview, Gramm said "you've heard of mental depression, this is a mental recession." He said there was still economic growth and the United States was not in an economic recession.


"We sildenafil have sort of become a nation of whiners," Gramm said.

Obama quickly pounced on the remarks by Gramm.

"I want all of you to know that America already has one Dr. Phil, they don't need another one when it comes to the economy," Obama said at a campaign event in Fairfax, Virginia. The reference was to a U.S. television talk-show therapist.

"It's not just a figment of the imagination, it's not all in your head," Obama said. "I think it's time we had a president who doesn't deny our problems — or blame the American people for them."

The flap resurrected questions about McCain's economic approach, a subject of repeated criticism from Democrats who have linked McCain to President George W. Bush's policies and who frequently remind voters McCain once admitted he was no economic expert.

NOT SPEAKING FOR MCCAIN

But in Michigan, a battleground state in November's election that has been hit hard by the loss of industrial jobs, McCain emphasized Gramm was not speaking for the campaign.

My chemical romance

"I don't agree with Senator Gramm. I believe that the person here in Michigan that just lost his job isn't suffering from a mental recession," he said. "I believe the mother here in Michigan and around America who is trying to get enough money to educate their children isn't whining."

McCain had his best month of fundraising since he entered the presidential race. Campaign manager Rick Davis said McCain raised $22 million for his White House bid in June and had nearly $27 million in the bank at the end of the month.

That is a slight increase from May, when McCain raised $21 million and reported nearly $36 million in the bank. Davis said the Republican National Committee
