BACK TO THE FIRST SCREEN: THE RISE OF LOCAL BROADCAST TV ADVERTISING

10. 10. 2022 | 5 min read When the internet started entering large numbers of American homes in the mid-1990s, predictions of the inevitable demise of television began almost immediately.

BRANDS SHOULD FOCUS THEIR COMMUNICATION EVEN ON LESS LOYAL CUSTOMERS

15. 9. 2022 | 11 min read Marketing is like driving a car backwards, it is out of touch with reality. How can we fix it? Marketer Wiemer Snijders points out that the customer base of brands is largely made up of those who rarely buy, and these are the ones we need to focus on in our communications. And that’s what advertising on linear TV is ideal for. „In the marketing business today, it's like driving cars backwards. We're constantly figuring out how we can use data and technology to make changes. Because everything is supposedly always changing, today's customer is not the same as yesterday’s,“ says Wiemer Snijders, author of Eat Your Greens and a representative of so-called evidence-based marketing.

„YOU CAN EITHER MAKE PEOPLE CRY AND LAUGH, OR YOU CAN’T SUCCEED IN THE TV BUSINESS,“ SAYS CME CHIEF DIDIER STOESSEL

10. 8. 2022 | 7 min read CME Media Group CEO Didier Stoessel is one of the most influential figures in the domestic media business. The former investment banker with experience at HSBC and Merril Lynch is the top executive chosen by the PPF Group two years ago to bring the newly acquired CME Media Group back to the limelight. And Stoessel hasn’t held back at all - he has pulled creative producers and developers on his side („Having good content and a way to deliver it - that’s the name of the game these days“), hired triple the number of studios and is spending hundreds of millions on content production. On top of that, he has “revived” the then-stagnant Voyo, an online video library project, which he has made into one of the distinctive pillars of its strategy and which is now generating hundreds of millions in revenue a year. However, Stoessel still faces a number of challenges: competition in the market („Even though our biggest competition is sleep - that’s six to seven hours a day when you’re not consuming our content“), the economic slowdown or the steady decline in viewership of linear broadcasting. How does one of the most important Television executives in the Czech republic plan to deal with them?
