• Tips for a successful telephone interview

  15-06-2016 17:57
  A telephone interview may seem more informal than a face-to-face one, but because the interviewer can't see you or your facial expressions or your body language it's even more crucial that you get your tone of voice and delivery right. So here are some tips to help it go as smoothly as possible./>
  The Basics
  1.Prepare as you would for a face-to-face interview: research the company and industry; know your CV inside out; think through answers to typical interview questions.

• What’s the value of being an early sponsor of emerging sports?

  15-06-2016 17:52
  
  The summer of sport is well and truly underway, with the UEFA Euro 2016 tournament kicking off in France last week and Wimbledon and the Rio Olympics both firmly on the horizon. But amid a period of unprecedented sporting scandal and the emergence of new broadcast platforms and fan communities, it is certainly not business as usual for the average sports marketer.
  Football, tennis and athletics have faced allegations of corruption and doping over the past year, with investigations

• Keith Weed: Securing brand legacy means tackling social issues and ad fraud

  15-06-2016 17:49
  Brands. Love them or hate them, they are an integral part of our lives. I challenge anyone to go into a supermarket and get out in less than 10 minutes with what they need without brands to help guide them through. At the same time, we all know that the world is changing faster than ever. It is a naive brand manager – or CMO – who isn’t considering what the brands we build might look like in the artificial intelligence-enabled, virtual reality-enhanced, social media super-charg

• ‘Marketers must work more closely with procurement’

  15-06-2016 17:45
  
  The claims featured in a report by the Association of National Advertisers (ANA) in the US last week, which found that the practice of media owners awarding rebates to advertising agencies based on the amount they spend is now “pervasive”.
  The findings suggest agencies are not acting in their clients’ best interests when buying media, and follow similar concerns raised by UK trade body ISBA last month. However, major advertising groups such as Publicis and WPP have questioned

• Does Cannes still matters to marketers?

  15-06-2016 17:35
  There are a lot of clichés that surround Cannes, mostly revolving around terrace parties and bottles of rose wine. What started off as a celebration of creativity has, for many, simply turned into a giant party that shows off the worst excesses of the ad industry.
  Yet dig below the surface and there is still a lot for marketers to learn from Cannes. Creativity is still the most important part of advertising – even if it might go by a different guise now. Previously it might have bee

  15-06-2016 15:13
  When former ITV marketer Julia Porter joined Guardian news and Media in 2012 the brand was beset with difficulties. Revenue streams from its print circulation were in decline and it faced problems in monetising the digital audience, which was compounded by Facebook and Google’s dominance over the UK’s digital advertising market.
  In order to survive the newspaper needed to make its existing audience more profitable and engage with them in a personalised and relevant way – data w

  In a world fixated on changing consumer behaviour, there’s been an enduring assumption that how brands sell to business audiences has not and will not change. Wrong. From the influx of social media usage, the rise of the visual web and a truly mobile first approach to just about everything, consumer trends are influencing the B2B buying process like never before.
