Don’t Tell Jaffe
Nielson is reporting that an amazing 82% of Americans say television advertising is the most influential, a figure that’s way, way, way above the paltry scores for any other medium (the internet rings in at an anemic 4%).
Furthermore, 51% of them say television advertising is the most authoritative (newspapers, in 2nd, scored 24% and the internet, on rear-guard duty again, pulled 5%).
A mere twenty-four hours before the study was released, Jaffe posted a link to a story from India and said he “was looking forward to proof why the 30-second spot is ‘alive and kicking’, but this proof wasn’t consumer-centric at all in terms of receptivity or recall.”
Maybe this very-much-consumer-centric Nielson survey will change his mind, but I doubt it.
Like admitting unfiltered consumer-generated content has, uh, serious flaws, it would be so inconvenient.
A tip o’the hat to Adpunch for alerting me to the story.
