ANA’s Marketing Predictions for 2008

imageThe Association of National Advertisers (ANA) has put together a list of 2008 Trends To Watch. Incidentally, the way they released this information is on one of several blogs they maintain, which in itself sends a signal about the growing use of new media tools. The membership of the ANA is comprised of executives from over 400 companies that represent 9000 brands and are responsible for over $100 billion in marketing and advertising expenditure each year. Here are some key take-aways from the ANA list:

• Creativity and innovation still rule, but 2008’s creativity will be focused on devising better way to leverage technology and reach audiences online. There is “no turning back” to the traditional advertising model. In fact, the ANA said a digital marketing platform “offers richness in information management, communication delivery, metrics—and portability.”

• Marketing and advertising accountability remain top-of-mind with many marketers.There are still 42 percent of companies dissatisfied with their marketing ROI measurement methodology. The ANA predicts this will lead to companies developing a Chief Accountability Officer.
