ADVERTISING INDUSTRY
Advertising is a form of communication that typically attempts to persuade potential
customers to purchase or to consume more of a particularbrand ofproduct orservice.
Many advertisements are designed to generate increased consumption of those
products and services through the creation and reinvention of the "brand image". For
these purposes, advertisements sometimes embed their persuasive message with
factual information. Every major medium is used to deliver these messages, including
television, radio, cinema, magazines, newspapers, video games, the Internet, carrierbags and billboards. Advertising is often placed by an advertising agency on behalf of a
company or other organization.
Organizations that frequently spend large sums of money on advertising that sells what
is not, strictly speaking, a product or service include political parties, interest groups,
religious organizations, and military recruiters. Non-profit organizations are not typical
advertising clients, and may rely on free modes of persuasion, such as public service
announcements.
Money spent on advertising has increased dramatically in recent years. In 2007,
spending on advertising has been estimated at over $150 billion in the United States
and $385 billion worldwide, and the latter to exceed $450 billion by 2010.
Advertising is a service industry geared towards the communication of information and
ideas to and on behalf of others. It is the main arm of marketing, involved in the
communication of information and ideas to and on behalf of others for promoting goods
and services in order to optimize sales or levels of awareness. Advertising is not an end
in itself but a means to build a relationship between the product and the consumer.

Advertising plays a significant role in todays highly competitive world. A career in
advertisement is quite glamorous and at the same time challenging with more and more
agencies opening up every day. Whether its brands, companies, personalities or even
voluntary or religious organizations, all of them use some form of advertising in order to
be able to communicate with the target audience. It is an ideal profession for a creative
individual who can handle work-pressure.
An Advertising agency or Ad agency is a service business dedicated to creating,
planning and handling advertising (and sometimes other forms of promotion) for its
clients. An ad agency is independent from the client and provides an outside point of
view to the effort of selling the client's products or services. An agency can also handle
overall marketing and branding strategies and sales promotions for its clients.
Typical ad agency clients include businesses and corporations, non-profit organizations
and government agencies. Agencies may be hired to produce an advertising campaign.
The primary functions of advertising agencies are planning and creating advertising
campaigns for clients and placing advertisements in various media. Planning consists of
researching the market for a given product or service, assessing alternative methods of
distribution and choosing the most effective way to reach the market. The agency thencreates the advertising campaign and contracts for time and space with selected media.
The ultimate objectives of advertising agencies include helping advertisers attain sales
objectives, market share and long-term profitability (Outlook).
Advertising industry is a rapidly growing industry and determines to a considerable
extent the GDP or the gross domestic product of any country. The advertising industry
besides functioning as an intermediate between the manufacturers and the customers
plays an important role in the economy of the country. This industry necessitates
investment for funding different resources. One cannot measure the degree of
development by interpretation of inputs in the economy which yields some production.

In the event when consumption levels far exceed than what is reckoned, this is not a
means of triggering or bringing about transformation in the culture, society or
development in human resources or economy. What the time demands is optimum and
efficient execution of advertising projects by involving appropriate technology along
scientific lines.
INDIAN ADVERTISING INDUSTRY
The Indian advertising industry is talking business today. It has evolved from being a
small-scale business to a full-fledged industry. It has emerged as one of the major
industries and tertiary sectors and has broadened its horizons be it the creative aspect,
the capital employed or the number of personnel involved. Indian advertising industry in
very little time has carved a niche for itself and placed itself on the global map.
Indian advertising industry with an estimated value of es13, 200-crore has made jaws
drop and set eyeballs gazing with some astonishing pieces of work that it has given in
the recent past. The creative minds that the Indian advertising industry incorporates
have come up with some mind-boggling concepts and work that can be termed as
masterpieces in the field of advertising.
Advertising agencies in the country too have taken a leap. They have come a long way
from being small and medium sized industries to becoming well known brands in the
business. Mudra, Ogilvy and Mathew (O&M), Mccann Ericson, Rediffussion, Leo
Burnett are some of the top agencies of the country.
Indian economy is on a boom and the market is on a continuous trail of expansion. With
the market gaining grounds Indian advertising has every reason to celebrate.
Businesses are looking up to advertising as a tool to cash in on lucrative business
opportunities. Growth in business has lead to a consecutive boom in the advertising
industry as well.

The Indian advertising today handles both national and international projects. This is
primarily because of the reason that the industry offers a host of functions to its clients
that include everything from start to finish that include client servicing, media planning,
media buying, creative conceptualization, pre and post campaign analysis, market
research, marketing, branding, and public relation services.
Keeping in mind the current pace at which the Indian advertising industry is moving the
industry is expected to witness a major boom in the times ahead. If the experts are to be
believed then the industry in the coming times will form a major contribution to the GDP.
With al this there is definitely no looking back for the Indian advertising industry that is
all set to win accolades from the world over.
The Indian advertising industry is expected to grow 61% by 2010 (with advertising
spend climbing to Rs. 36,731 crore).
As per report by Zenith OptiMedia, expect advertising expenditure in India to increase
from 0.50% of the gross domestic product (GDP) to 0.53% over the next three years,
Worldwide, the ad industry is expected to grow 6.7% to reach $61 billion and Internet
advertising is expected to surpass magazine advertising; and the upswing will be
triggered by quadrennial events like Olympics, US elections and Euro 2008.
As far as Indian market is concerned:
Internet advertising contributes only 1.8 % of the countrys total advertising
spend.
Internet medium is set to witness 150 per cent growth in 2008.
For every hundred rupees spent by advertisers, Rs 91 is spent on television and the
print media while the outdoor media accounts for Rs 5. The rest is divided between
cinema, radio and the Internet. (The Indian entertainment industry, too is expected to
grow by CAGR of 18% to reach Rs. 1 trillion numbers by 2011).

Though these numbers may sound great (and most of the times theoretical), what is
really important and worth noticing is the rise of ad networks by
newspapers/magazines worldwide (after all they are the ones who have a strong
relationship with local advertisers as well as readers) which are essentially competing
with ad networks from Google/Yahoo/MSN and online companies.
GLOBAL ADVERTISING INDUSTRY.
The global advertising industry is showing definite signs of a recovery, after one of the
worst-ever slumps in advertising. Media-buying firms, TV broadcasters and radio and
billboard companies are making positive noises about the future. Print advertising looks
more promising and several US magazines saw ad pages increase quite dramatically.
The future of the ad industry is not in doubt - things will get better, but only companies
that have positioned themselves correctly will be able to capitalize on the upswing. To
do this, many firms are looking toward technology as the point of departure for huge
returns. The convergence of the Internet with television, the growth of wireless
communication, and the increasing use of digital video recorders all offer new avenues
and challenges for advertisers. Further consolidation across national borders is also
expected as ad firms try to deliver global capabilities in an increasingly competitivemarket.

HISTORY
Edo periodadvertising flyer from 1806 for a traditional medicine called Kinseitan
Egyptians used papyrus to make sales messages and wall posters. Commercial
messages and political campaign displays have been found in the ruins ofPompeiiand
ancient Arabia. Lost and found advertising on papyrus was common in Ancient Greece
and Ancient Rome. Wall or rock painting for commercial advertising is another
manifestation of an ancient advertising form, which is present to this day in many parts
of Asia, Africa, and South America. The tradition of wall painting can be traced back to
Indian rock art paintings that date back to 4000 BCE.
As the towns and cities of the Middle Ages began to grow, and the general populace
was unable to read, signs that today would say cobbler, miller, tailor or blacksmith
would use an image associated with their trade such as a boot, a suit, a hat, a clock, a
diamond, a horse shoe, a candle or even a bag of flour. Fruits and vegetables were sold
in the city square from the backs of carts and wagons and their proprietors used street
callers or town criers to announce their whereabouts for the convenience of thecustomers.
As education became an apparent need and reading, as well printing developed,
advertising expanded to include handbills. In the 17th century advertisements started to
appear in weekly newspapers in England. These early print advertisements were used

mainly to promote books and newspapers, which became increasingly affordable with
advances in the printing press; and medicines, which were increasingly sought after as
disease ravaged Europe. However, false advertising and so-called "quack"
advertisements became a problem, which ushered in the regulation of advertising
content.
As the economy expanded during the 19th century, advertising grew alongside. In the
United States, the success of this advertising format eventually led to the growth of
mail-order advertising.
In June 1836, French newspaperLa Presse is the first to include paid advertising in its
pages, allowing it to lower its price, extend its readership and increase its profitability
and the formula was soon copied by all titles. Around 1840, Volney Palmerestablished
a predecessor to advertising agencies in Boston. Around the same time, in France,
Charles-Louis Havas extended the services of his news agency, Havas to include
advertisement brokerage, making it the first French group to organize. At first, agencies
were brokers for advertisement space in newspapers. N. W. Ayer & Son was the first
full-service agency to assume responsibility for advertising content. N.W. Ayer opened
in 1869, and was located in Philadelphia.

An 1895 advertisement for a weight gain product.
At the turn of the century, there were few career choices for women in business;
however, advertising was one of the few. Since women were responsible for most of the
purchasing done in theirhousehold, advertisers and agencies recognized the value of
women's insight during the creative process. In fact, the first American advertising to
use a sexual sell was created by a woman for a soap product. Although tame by
today's standards, the advertisement featured a couple with the message "The skin you
love to touch".
In the early 1920s, the first radio stations were established by radio equipment
manufacturers and retailers who offered programs in order to sell more radios to
consumers. As time passed, many non-profit organizations followed suit in setting up
their own radio stations, and included: schools, clubs and civic groups. When the
practice of sponsoring programs was popularized, each individual radio program was
usually sponsored by a single business in exchange for a brief mention of the business
name at the beginning and end of the sponsored shows. However, radio station owners

soon realized they could earn more money by selling sponsorship rights in small time
allocations to multiple businesses throughout their radio station's broadcasts, rather
than selling the sponsorship rights to single businesses per show.
A print advertisement for the 1913 issue of the Encyclopaedia Britannica
This practice was carried over to television in the late 1940s and early 1950s. A fierce
battle was fought between those seeking to commercialize the radio and people who
argued that the radio spectrum should be considered a part of the commons to be
used only non-commercially and for the public good. The United Kingdom pursued a
public funding model for the BBC, originally a private company, the British Broadcasting
Company, but incorporated as a public body by Royal Charter in 1927. In Canada,
advocates like Graham Spry were likewise able to persuade the federal government to
adopt a public funding model, creating the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
However, in the United States, the capitalist model prevailed with the passage of the
Communications Act of 1934 which created the Federal Communications Commission.
To placate the socialists, the U.S. Congress did require commercial broadcasters to
operate in the "public interest, convenience, and necessity". Public broadcasting now
exists in the United States due to the 1967 Public Broadcasting Act which led to the
Public Broadcasting Service and National Public Radio.
In the early 1950s, the DuMont Television Network began the modern trend of selling
advertisement time to multiple sponsors. Previously, DuMont had trouble finding
sponsors for many of their programs and compensated by selling smaller blocks of
advertising time to several businesses. This eventually became the standard for the
commercial television industry in the United States. However, it was still a common

practice to have single sponsor shows, such as The United States Steel Hour. In some
instances the sponsors exercised great control over the content of the show - up to and
including having one's advertising agency actually writing the show. The single sponsor
model is much less prevalent now, a notable exception being the Hallmark Hall of
Fame.
The 1960s saw advertising transform into a modern approach in which creativity was
allowed to shine, producing unexpected messages that made advertisements more
tempting to consumers' eyes. The Volkswagenad campaignfeaturing such headlines
as "Think Small" and "Lemon" (which were used to describe the appearance of the car)
ushered in the era of modern advertising by promoting a "position" or "unique selling
proposition" designed to associate each brand with a specific idea in the reader orviewer's mind. This period of American advertising is called the Creative Revolution and
its archetype was William Bernbach who helped create the revolutionary Volkswagen
ads among others. Some of the most creative and long-standing American advertising
dates to this period.
The late 1980s and early 1990s saw the introduction ofcable television and particularly
MTV. Pioneering the concept of the music video, MTV ushered in a new type of
advertising: the consumer tunes in for the advertising message, rather than it being a
by-product or afterthought. As cable and satellite television became increasingly
prevalent, specialty channels emerged, including channels entirely devoted to
advertising, such as QVC, Home Shopping Network, and Shop TV Canada.
Marketing through the Internet opened new frontiers for advertisers and contributed to
the "dot-com" boom of the 1990s. Entire corporations operated solely on advertising
revenue, offering everything from coupons to free Internet access. At the turn of the
21st century, a number of websites including the search engine Google, started a
change in online advertising by emphasizing contextually relevant, unobtrusive ads
intended to help, rather than inundate, users. This has led to a plethora of similar efforts
and an increasing trend ofinteractive advertising.

The share of advertising spending relative to GDP has changed little across large
changes inmedia. For example, in the U.S. in 1925, the main advertising media were
newspapers, magazines, signs on streetcars, and outdoor posters. Advertising
spending as a share of GDP was about 2.9 percent. By 1998, television and radio had
become major advertising media. Nonetheless, advertising spending as a share of GDP
was slightly lowerabout 2.4 percent.
A recent advertising innovation is "guerrilla marketing", which involve unusual
approaches such as staged encounters in public places, giveaways of products such as
cars that are covered with brand messages, and interactive advertising where the
viewer can respond to become part of the advertising message. This reflects an
increasing trend of interactive and "embedded" ads, such as via product placement,having consumers vote through text messages, and various innovations utilizing social
network services such as MySpace.
There are four very influential inventions that have shaped the media and thus the
advertising industry - the printing press, radio, television and the Internet. The printing
press made the wide dissemination of information with words on paper possible, mainly
advertisements in newspapers and magazines. Selling material had to be created and
advertising agencies were born.
The first advertising agency, Volney B. Palmer, was opened in Philadelphia in 1841. By
1861 there were 20 advertising agencies in New York City alone. Among them was J.
Walter Thompson, today the oldest American advertising agency in continuous
existence. Radio became a commercial medium in the 1920s. For the first time,
advertising could be heard, not just seen. Soap operas, music, and serial adventures
populated the new medium, and as radios appeared in virtually every home in America,
sales of products advertised on the air soared.
Advertisers rushed to write infectious advertising jingles, an art form that still has its
place in the advertising repertoire of today. Then television changed everything.
Although TV was invented in the 1920s, it didn't become a mass commercial medium

until the 1950s when the prices of television sets began to approach affordability. Print
and radio had to take a back seat because, for the first time, commercials were
broadcast with sight, sound and motion. The effect of the television on the advertising
industry and the way products were sold was remarkable. Advertising agencies not only
had to learn how to produce these mini movies in units of 30 and 60 seconds, they had
to learn to effectively segment the audience and deliver the right commercial message
to the right group of consumers. Cable television was the next great innovation, offering
a greater variety of channels with more specific program offerings. That allowed
advertisers to narrowcast. Before the advent of cable television, the networks attempted
to reach demographics by airing at different times throughout the broadcast period.
Soap operas were broadcast during the day to reach women, news in the evening to
reach an older target audience. Cable television, on the other hand, brought with it
channels like MTV that catered to young music lovers, ESPN, for (typically) male sports
fans, and the Food Network, for people who love cooking (or at least love to watch
others cook). These new advertising channels were delightful for advertisers who
wished to target certain audiences with specific interests, though less so for the
networks who saw their share of ad revenue dwindle.

mediums for advertisers.

Commercial advertising media can include wall paintings, billboards, street furniture
components, printed flyers and rack cards, radio, cinema and television adverts, web
banners, mobile telephone screens, shopping carts, web popups, skywriting, bus stop
benches, human billboards, magazines, newspapers, town criers, sides of buses,
banners attached to or sides of airplanes ("logo jets"), in-flight advertisements onseatback tray tables or overhead storage bins, taxicab doors, roof mounts and
passenger screens, musical stage shows, subway platforms and trains, elastic bands
on disposable diapers, stickers on apples in supermarkets, shopping cart handles
(grabertising), the opening section ofstreaming audio and video, posters, and the backs
of event tickets and supermarket receipts. Any place an "identified" sponsor pays to
deliver their message through a medium is advertising.
One way to measure advertising effectiveness is known as Ad Tracking. This
advertising research methodology measures shifts in target market perceptions about
the brand and product or service. These shifts in perception are plotted against the
consumers levels of exposure to the companys advertisements and promotions.

The purpose of Ad Tracking is generally to provide a measure of the combined effect of
the media weight or spending level, the effectiveness of the media buy or targeting, and
the quality of the advertising executions or creative.
Covert advertising
Covert advertising is when a product or brand is embedded in entertainment and media.
For example, in a film, the main character can use an item or other of a definite
brand, as in the movie Minority Report, where Tom Cruise's character John
Anderton owns a phone with the Nokia logo clearly written in the top corner, or
his watch engraved with the Bulgari logo. Another example of advertising in
film is in I, Robot, where main character played by Will Smith mentions his
Converse shoes several times, calling them "classics," because the film is set
far in the future. I, Robot and Spaceballs also showcase futuristic cars with the
Audiand Mercedes-Benz logos clearly displayed on the front of the vehicles.
Cadillac chose to advertise in the movie The Matrix Reloaded, which as a
result contained many scenes in which Cadillac cars were used. Similarly,
product placement forOmega Watches, Ford,VAIO, BMWandAston Martin
cars are featured in recent James Bond films, most notably Casino Royale.
Blade Runner includes some of the most obvious product placement; thewhole film stops to show aCoca-Cola billboard.
Television commercials
The TV commercial is generally considered the most effective mass-market advertising
format, as is reflected by the high prices TV networks charge for commercial
airtime during popular TV events. The annual Super Bowl football game in
the United States is known as the most prominent advertising event on
television. The average cost of a single thirty-second TV spot during this game
has reached $3 million (as of 2009).
The majority of television commercials features a song orjingle that listeners soon
relate to the product.

Virtual advertisements may be inserted into regular television programming through
computer graphics. It is typically inserted into otherwise blank backdrops or used to
replace local billboards that are not relevant to the remote broadcast audience. More
controversially, virtual billboards may be inserted into the background where none exist
in real-life. Virtual product placement is also possible.
Infomercials
There are two types of infomercials, described as long form and short form. Long form
infomercials have a time length of 30 minutes. Short form infomercials are 30 seconds
to 2 minutes long. Infomercials are also known as direct response television (DRTV)
commercials ordirect response marketing.
The main objective in an infomercial is to create an impulse purchase, so that the
consumer sees the presentation and then immediately buys the product through the
advertised toll-free telephone number or website. Infomercials describe, display, and
often demonstrate products and their features, and commonly have testimonials from
consumers and industry professionals.
Celebrities
This type of advertising focuses upon using celebrity power, fame, money, popularity to
gain recognition for their products and promote specific stores or products.
Advertisers often advertise their products, for example, when celebrities share
their favourite products or wear clothes by specific brands or designers.
Celebrities are often involved in advertising campaigns such as television or
print adverts to advertise specific or general products.
Media and advertising approaches
Increasingly, other media are overtaking television because of a shift towards
consumer's usage of the Internet as well as devices such as TiVo.

Advertising on the World Wide Web is a recent phenomenon. Prices of Web-based
advertising space are dependent on the "relevance" of the surrounding web content and
the traffic that the website receives. E-mail advertising is another recent phenomenon.
Unsolicited bulk E-mail advertising is known as "spam".
Some companies have proposed placing messages or corporate logos on the side of
booster rockets and the International Space Station. Controversy exists on the
effectiveness ofsubliminal advertisingand the pervasiveness of mass messages.Unpaid advertising (also called publicity advertising), can provide good exposure at
minimal cost. Personal recommendations ("bring a friend", "sell it"), spreading buzz, or
achieving the feat of equating a brand with a common noun (in the United States,
"Xerox" = "photocopier", "Kleenex" = tissue, "Vaseline" = petroleum jelly, "Hoover" =
vacuum cleaner, "Nintendo" (often used by those exposed to many video games) =
video games, and "Band-Aid" = adhesive bandage) these can be seen as the
pinnacle of any advertising campaign. However, some companies oppose the use of
their brand name to label an object. Equating a brand with a common noun also risks
turning that brand into a genericized trademark - turning it into a generic term which
means that its legal protection as a trademark is lost.
As the mobile phone became a new mass media in 1998 when the first paid
downloadable content appeared on mobile phones in Finland, it was only a matter of
time until mobile advertising followed, also first launched in Finland in 2000. By 2007 the
value of mobile advertising had reached $2.2 billion and providers such as Admob
delivered billions of mobile ads.
More advanced mobile ads include banner ads, coupons, Multimedia Messaging
Service picture and video messages, advergames and various engagement marketing
campaigns. A particular feature driving mobile ads is the 2D Barcode, which replaces
the need to do any typing of web addresses, and uses the camera feature of modern
phones to gain immediate access to web content. 83 percent of Japanese mobile phone
users already are active users of 2D barcodes.

A new form of advertising that is growing rapidly is social network advertising. It is
online advertising with a focus on social networking sites. This is a relatively immature
market, but it has shown a lot of promises as advertisers are able to take advantage of
the demographic information the user has provided to the social networking site.
Friendertising is a more precise advertising term in which people are able to direct
advertisements toward others directly using social network service.
From time to time, The CW Television Network airs short programming breaks called
"Content Wraps," to advertise one company's product during an entire commercial
break. The CW pioneered "content wraps" and some products featured were Herbal
Essences, Crest, Guitar Hero II, CoverGirl, and recently Toyota.
Recently, there appeared a new promotion concept, "ARvertising"; its supported on
Augmented Reality technology.
GROWTH OF INDIAN ADVERTISING INDUSTRY
The Indian advertising industry comprises establishments that create and sell
advertisements for media such as newspapers, periodicals, radio, and television. The
Indian advertising industry has been evolving at a fast pace over the past few years
owing to an increase in the forms of media and communication and the emergence of
new distribution channels. In 2005, this industry experienced a growth of 10%. Currently
India has a low advertising spend to GDP ratio as compared to other economies.
Competition for the outsourcing business and creativity leakage represent the major
issues and implications. However, the television advertising is expected to register high
rates of growth, with India expected to become Asia's leading cable market by 2010.
The Indian advertising industry is being reshaped by regulatory and technological
changes spanning various media platforms- radio, TV, internet, print, and outdoor.
Deregulation involving FM radio, Direct-to-Home (DTH), broadband, the implementation
of the conditional access system (CAS), and foreign direct investment has laid the
foundation for faster growth of the advertising industry. Stricter norms on social
responsibility, obscenity, and ethics are altering the industry practices.

The industry is dominated by ten agencies, who account for the majority of capitalized
billings. Top 10-15 advertisers with the biggest ad spend (like HLL, Maruti, Hero Honda,
Pepsico) wield high bargaining power and their account movement from one agency to
another alters the competitive dynamics.
ADVERTISING TRENDS
Advertising Industry trends reflect the dynamics of the advertising industry and its
contribution to the economy of the country. The advertising industry plays a significant
role in contributing to the global GDP or the gross domestic product. Advertising
industry trends suggested that advertising expenses with regard to magazines in the
beginning of 2007 escalated by 7.1% as compared to the first half of 2006. The same
period witnessed a decrease in the expenses on magazines dealing with business
articles, reports and business statistics by as much as 5.2%.
A survey conducted on the advertising industry trends also suggested that total amount
spent on advertising pertaining all categories of media registered a reduction by 0.3% in
the first three months of 2007 as compared to the last quarter of the 2006. The
advertising analysis report conducted on advertising industry trends observed that
approximately 19.2% was spent on magazines during the first 3 months of 2007. There
was an increase by 0.9% as compared to the hike registered last year during the same
time.
Studies on advertising industry trends also revealed that people are opting for surfing
the net for commodities on line as compared to the print media. Due to escalation in thecost of postage in the year 2007, a tendency might set in when the publishers may opt
for the reduction of the size of papers and decrease in paper weight. Consequently,
page volume is likely to go down by 9% by the year 2011.

FUTURE
Global advertising
Advertising has gone through five major stages of development: domestic, export,international, multi-national, and global. Forglobal advertisers, there are four, potentially
competing, business objectives that must be balanced when developing worldwide
advertising: building a brand while speaking with one voice, developing economies of
scale in the creative process, maximizing local effectiveness of ads, and increasing the
companys speed of implementation. Born from the evolutionary stages of global
marketing are the three primary and fundamentally different approaches to the
development of global advertising executions: exporting executions, producing local
executions, and importing ideas that travel.
Advertising research is the key to determining the success of an ad in any country or
region. The ability to identify which elements and/or moments of an ad that contributes
to its success is how economies of scale are maximized. Once one knows what works
in an ad, that idea or ideas can be imported by any other market. Market research
measures, such as Flow of Attention, Flow of Emotion and branding moments provide
insight into what is working in an ad in any country or region because the measures arebased on the visual, not verbal, elements of the ad.
Trends
With the dawn of the Internet came many new advertising opportunities. Popup, Flash,
banner, Popunder, advergaming, and email advertisements (the last often being a form
of spam) are now commonplace.
The ability to record shows on digital video recorders (such as TiVo) allow users to
record the programs for later viewing, enabling them to fast forward through
commercials. Additionally, as more seasons of pre-recorded box sets are offered for
sale of television programs; fewer people watch the shows on TV. However, the fact
that these sets are sold, means the company will receive additional profits from the

sales of these sets. To counter this effect, many advertisers have opted for product
placement on TV shows like Survivor.
Particularly since the rise of "entertaining" advertising, some people may like an
advertisement enough to wish to watch it later or show a friend. In general, the
advertising community has not yet made this easy, although some have used the
Internet to widely distribute their ads to anyone willing to see or hear them.
Another significant trend regarding future of advertising is the growing importance of the
niche market using niche or targeted ads. Also brought about by the Internet and the
theory of The Long Tail, advertisers will have an increasing ability to reach specific
audiences. In the past, the most efficient way to deliver a message was to blanket the
largest mass market audience possible. However, usage tracking, customer profiles and
the growing popularity of niche content brought about by everything from blogs to social
networking sites, provide advertisers with audiences that are smaller but much better
defined, leading to ads that are more relevant to viewers and more effective for
companies' marketing products. Among others, Comcast Spotlight is one such
advertiser employing this method in their video on demand menus. These
advertisements are targeted to a specific group and can be viewed by anyone wishing
to find out more about a particular business or practice at any time, right from their
home. This causes the viewer to become proactive and actually choose what
advertisements they want to view.
In the realm of advertising agencies, continued industry diversification has seen
observers note that big global clients don't need big global agencies any more. This
trend is reflected by the growth of non-traditional agencies in various global markets,
such as Canadian business TAXI and SMART in Australia and has been referred to as
"a revolution in the ad world".
In freelance advertising, companies hold public competitions to create ads for their
product, the best one of which is chosen for widespread distribution with a prize given to
the winner(s). During the 2007 Super Bowl, PepsiCo held such a contest for the

creation of a 30-second television ad for the Doritos brand of chips, offering a cash prize

type of advertising, however, is still in its infancy. It may ultimately decrease the
importance of advertising agencies by creating a niche for independent freelancers.

There have been different waves which have influenced the way human beings lead their l ives at different periods of t ime. The f irst wave wasagriculture. Around 300 years back, land was the biggest asset anyonecould possess and anyone who could use land effectively was the mostprosperous and had the power to make a difference to the l ives of others.In the late 1800s and early 1900s , the focus shifted to Industries withthe Industr ia l Revolut ion proving to be a huge inf luence in our l ives , which changed a ll the rules at that t ime and caused an irrevers iblechange in the way we lead our l ives, more often than not for the better.Then came the wave of Technology and Software, which again completely
transformed the way we l ive and created a whole new set of trends forliving, working and learning. Currently, we are undergoing a fourth wavecalled the Solutions Wave. All the previous waves have brought with theman added amount of complexity and added their own set of problems. We believe that Solut ions wi ll be the most important aspect of anything which will be created to make l ife easier and the world a better place tolive in.
We evangel ise new ideas and technologies, thus helping to promote aculture of innovation and creating an ecosystem where people with newideas are not just encouraged to explore them, but a lso nurtured and
supported along the way.
In the conventional sense, the word Catalyst describes our commitmentto speed up the process of executing new ideas, i .e. reduce the time takento bring an idea from conception into reality. The word Labs describesour commitment to experiment, in the face of uncertainties to break newground in the areas we work in.
