Crafting Cross-Platform Solutions<br />
Talk about change — to sell an ad schedule these days, media owners are partnering with a<br />
client’s agency to create the campaign. This integrated, creative partnership is producing<br />
groundbreaking work<br />
A Good, Compelling Idea<br />
“Clients are simply<br />
communicating more,” CNN<br />
International’s Jonathan Davies<br />
tells inter national ist. “In days past,<br />
big multinationals just did<br />
branding campaigns; now they<br />
are selling products. And of<br />
course, we are seeing a maturity<br />
in this media category.<br />

International media is becoming<br />
more creative. Plus media<br />
agencies are pushing for<br />
innovation and they are certainly<br />
open to new ideas. Yes,<br />
‘integration’ is part of every buy,<br />
but in our thinking that simply<br />
means having a good,<br />
compelling idea that carries over<br />
into different platforms.”<br />
CASE STUDY: Nokia “City Guides”<br />
Nokia’s goal was to promote its multimedia<br />
devices. The target was an affluent audience<br />
interested in music, travel, film and<br />
photography. CNN worked with Mediacom’s<br />
Nick Bauer to come up with “The Scene” — a<br />
series of more than 20 cutting-edge city guides<br />
showcasing a city through the eyes of one of<br />
its famous citizens. “An Insider’s View of Milan<br />
with Giorgio Armani” is one example. These<br />
were developed as short programs to run onair,<br />
followed by an extensive Web site tie-in.<br />

CASE STUDY: Philips<br />
“Online Briefing Room”<br />
Philips’ goal was to extend its “sense and<br />
simplicity” theme, which positions Philips as a<br />
company whose technology makes life easier.<br />
CNN worked with Emma Asquith of Carat to<br />
create a daily “Online Briefing Room” on the<br />
CNN.com site. The content is everything the<br />
busy executive needs to know for that day and<br />
delivered in bite-size chunks online, via email or<br />
mobile phone. Put together with a light-hearted<br />
touch, it not only includes news and business<br />
information, but also elements of humor and<br />
entertainment.<br />
DAVID CLARK<br />
“<br />
One big obstacle facing international marketing is<br />
‘friction,’ or the rub between the promising economics of<br />
consolidated global operations and the challenge of multi-market<br />
scale. This global- multi-market dilemma rarely works within the<br />
realities of local media planning and buying. But now technology,<br />
like Joost, is emerging that reduces this ‘friction’ by providing true<br />
local communications on a worldwide basis.<br />
”<br />
This means more<br />
access and more reach for all marketers.<br />

The FT had a very solid year in print and<br />
online advertising in 2006. All regions of the<br />
world saw growth, but the U.S. surpassed<br />
expectations with many new advertisers in<br />
print and online, as well as record<br />
circulation.<br />
