Tribble Ad Agency

NewsPapers allocate huge ad campaign to promote NewsPaper Ads.

When the Newspapers are spending big dollars online to promote newspaper ads, it raises a few questions.

This is their page regarding the campaign.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT) named Saatchi & Saatchi X, Springdale, Ark., its in-store marketing agency for shopper and employee communications “agency of record.”

The Bentonville, Ark., retail giant said it was pleased with Saatchi’s work as its “in-store innovation partner” and believe as an “agency of record” it will achieve “even greater results.” Wal-Mart said the service isn’t a direct component of its ongoing agency review.

Some have already noted that this COULD mean that Saatchi got the consolation prize, meaning they are out of the main account review leaving only Omnicom Group’s GSD&M in Austin, Texas; Publicis Groupe’s Saatchi & Saatchi in New York; WPP Group’s Ogilvy & Mather in New York; and Interpublic Group’s Draft FCB Group in Chicago; and The Martin Agency in Richmond, Va.

We still want to point out that none of the Agencies that are bidding even rank for ‘Ad Agency’ in Google, leading one to wonder if they do such a poor job on SEO for their own site, what are they going to do for Walmart.Com ?

It appears that Yooter InterActive’s help wanted page has a help wanted ad for ‘TPS REPORTING’

heh…

It appears that Search Engine Optimization has exceeded the demand for Casino Employment in new hires.

This summer MTV turned 25. Coincidentally, 2006 looks like the year cable TV grew up. This is good in human terms, more or less, but in media terms it’s not. “Growing up” in this case means “maturing,” which implies age, stagnation, and settling down to earthbound growth rates.

ATLANTA Someone at an ad agency is in a heap of trouble.

Inside a vacant office at an Atlanta tower today, someone found eight cylinders wrapped in red. Each had the word “dynamite” and a timer was attached.

You can imagine the reaction. That building and another next door were evacuated for hours today. Roads were shut for several blocks. Police, firefighters and ambulances rushed to the scene.

Note to Ad Agency : Google Bomb is with a search engine, not in real life.

The top 10 unintentionally worst company URLs

Attn: Entrepeneurs
Everyone knows that if you are going to operate a business in today’s world you need a domain name. It is advisable to look at the domain name selected as other see it and not just as you think it looks. Failure to do this may result in situations such as the following (legitimate) companies who deal in everyday humdrum products and services but clearly didn’t give their domain names enough consideration:

1. A site called ‘Who Represents‘ where you can find the name of the agent that represents a celebrity. Their domain name… wait for it… is
www.whorepresents.com

2. Experts Exchange, a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views at

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — It’s no secret that traditional media companies are facing some turbulent times.

Newspapers and magazines are losing readers to the Internet. You could say the same thing about TV viewership. And the radio business is struggling to hold onto listeners. As such, ad dollars are increasingly flowing online to the likes of Google, Yahoo! and other Internet leaders.

Marriott chooses eMergent

Actually for once we are pretty happy with this… eMergent is one of the Agencies that does list (and follows) most standard accepted practices of Search Engine Optimization.

They are an oddity however in the Ad Agency area.. and we are happy to see them land Marriott!

It looks like Dunkin’ Donuts is searching for an InterActive Agency.

The question is if they will select an Agency that owns or partners with an SEO firm, or if they will go all Macromedia Flash and lose out on the search engine rankings.
