Does TiVo = Economic Collapse?
This week I came across a doctoral study examining the nature of the relationship between advertising spend and economic growth that really caught my interest (in case you are wondering, yes, I think it’s sad that I just typed that sentence…). From the conclusion: “Analysis of all of the objective data relating to the developed countries clearly demonstrates that the media and non-traditional media advertising investments carried out by companies stimulate and promote consumption, innovation, competition and the dynamism of specific economic sec¬tors associated with advertising: media service providers, non-traditional media, etc.”

I recently read ‘Why Can’t Hispanic TV Be as Good as Hispanic Advertising?’ a post on AdAge.com’s ‘The Big Tent’ blog by Laura Martinez on October 10, 2007.

In a nutshell: the exact same things I grew up watching on Mexican TV, now expanded and proudly ‘Made in the USA’.”
