A Fresh Take on Traditional Media: A panel of industry Leaders Explore the Evolution of Established Media

8 May 2024 · 57 min

About this episode

Traditional (or established) media is having somewhat of a resurgence, the pendulum is certainly swinging to a more balanced view. We have the likes of Nils Leonard celebrating the power of OOH, Mark Ritson telling us that if we allocate 11% of our marketing budget to radio advertising, the entire campaign’s effectiveness will double and Peter Field releasing Why TV is at the heart of effectiveness and NeuroInsight showing that a 30-second cinema ad had 1.75 times more chance of having its “intended impact” on memory and engagement than a 30-second TV ad. So it was time for That’s What I Call Marketing to sit down with leading industry bodies to get their take on the landscape, the challenges and opportunities faced by traditional media, innovative research studies, and the importance of measurement and effectiveness in advertising. Featuring insights from Jill McGrath of TAM Ireland, Aoibhinn Lennon from the Outdoor Media Association, Cassie Joyce of Pearl and Dean Ireland, and Ciarán Cunningham of Radio Centre Ireland, the discussion delves into how traditional media channels are adapting to digital transformations and the perceived effectiveness of digital vs. traditional advertising. The episode also highlights the need for marketers to be curious, challenge assumptions, and consider a balanced media mix to achieve brand success. Recorded at Poddle Audio
