The 100 Headlines and 200 Ad World Shake-Ups listed here took only 3 days to gather and Clearly Testify to the Mounting Problems American Advertising is now facing… I did not write them – I merely collected them.

These "EXHIBITS" show an Ad and Media World in a state of Massive Turmoil and Flux with few Remedies...

The Business world has lost much faith in Advertisings’ means and methods and nasty themes like Fragmentation, ROI, Accountabilty, White Noise and Clutter are continually popping up - they seem to represent Major Flaws in Advertising LOGIC.

I believe, for the "Invisibility" Issue in Modern Advertising to be solved it must first find ways of getting its Messages SEEN again.

As Seth Godin Says in The Purple Cow…“In a Busy Marketplace, Not Standing Out is the Same as Being Invisible. So it seems that we face two choices: Either be invisible, uncriticized, anonymous, and safe or take a chance at true greatness, uniqueness, and the Purple Cow. The point is simple, but it bears repeating: Boring always leads to failure. Boring is always the riskiest strategy.”

(NOTE: We have 300,00 more of these on the road in 48 sates – We have been featured on Forbes, Wachovia, Merrill Lynch, Hoovers, Media Post, BrandWeek and Fleet Owner this year and we’re seeking Visionaries to help us build this New Industry)

We SEE this Medium as a “PRACTICAL” Advertising TOOL – Capable of INSTANT IMPACT and Beyond Standard Ad Metrics and Measurement. The 9th Form of Advertising can be a Great Equalizer in an Environment of Constant AD Distraction.

To Understand “Practical Advertising” - Just ask yourself 3 Questions - How did I Get to Work today, how many Trucks did I See - and Why is Outdoor only Allocated 3% of Advertising Budgets if it REACHES 96% of the Population?

See Article “A Marketing Marvel – Trucks ad Fuel to American Advertising” http://www.mobileadmarketing.com/twtour.htm#marvel

With 25 Million American Businesses at stake - It is our hope to offer “Common Sense” Marketing Solutions and Synergy to restore a bit of Faith and Power back to this Valuable Industry. (Daniel Sage / Marketeer – Mobile Ad Marketing)
