\"tv-advertising\"The print publishing world might be falling apart, but television advertising won’t be dying out anytime soon –not if the opinions of CMOs matter.<\/p>\n

In an Advertising Week panel<\/a> of Chief Marketing Officers hosted by Fast Company last week, CMOs agreed almost unanimously that television advertising is still an important part of their marketing strategies and won’t be going away anytime soon.\u00a0 However, times are changing and television doesn’t hold the place of importance that it did just 10 years ago.\u00a0 Today, CMOs in the Advertising Week panel agree that television advertising is just one part of a much bigger marketing plan.<\/p>\n

As GE CMO Beth Comstock explains, “It still works, but not by itself.\u00a0 You need other things to activate it. There’s a whole media ecosystem to get your story out there.”<\/p>\n

Think of it this way — according to Best Buy CMO Barry Judge, the Best Buy website gets nearly 1 billion visitors per year.\u00a0 He recognizes the importance of the online space as a way of building the Best Buy brand and providing experiences <\/em>for consumers who visit the branded site.\u00a0 Let’s face it.\u00a0 The interactivity of a website (if it’s done well) can often have a much stronger impact on a consumer than a 30-second ad spot.\u00a0 Judge understands that.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, not every CMO feels the same way about advertising.\u00a0 Chipotle CMO Mark Crumpacker explained at the Advertising Week panel that Chipotle CEO Steve Ells is not a proponent of advertising and has even asked Crumpacker if advertising is really necessary.\u00a0 However, majority typically rules, and it’s probably safe to bet that the majority will rule in this case as well.\u00a0 Television advertising isn’t going anywhere.<\/p>\n

The best television advertising, however, will integrate online and social media elements, driving consumers to branded web destinations where they can actually interact with the brand and experience it.\u00a0 Research shows that the vast amount of pre-purchase research is done online.\u00a0 While television ads might still work at raising awareness and piquing interest, the majority of purchase decision-making is done in the online space.<\/p>\n

The winners will be the companies that effectively integrate online and offline marketing efforts to surround consumers with branded experiences allowing them to self-select how they want to interact with the brand.\u00a0 Are you ready?\u00a0 Is your brand there yet?\u00a0 If not, it’s time to start working!<\/p>\n
