Planner Survey Results 2009

Finally Heather succeeded in putting together the results of this year’s survey among planners from all over the world.

Interesting findings:

• Very few people identify themselves as connection planners or context planners.
• BBH, CPB and WK seem to have the best planning departments worldwide
• Female planners and senior planners aren’t having kids as soon as
  their male colleagues ;)
• And last, but not least: only 3% of planners are out of work, half in the US and half overseas. (Hurray for that!)

Unfortunately, the 14 Romanian planners who completed the survey were not interesting enough to also generate a salary analysis, like those from some other countries.. Maybe next year?

As mai fi adaugat un set (maricel) de ‘oaie, caci fara ele restul nu e prea util.

Care-i faza cu insight-urile

In toata invalmaseala de termeni misteriosi specifici strategic planning-ului, probabil ca cel mai controversat este “insight-ul”. Ca orice cuvant “smecher”, insight-ul nici macar nu are un termen corespondent in limba romana. Dar ce ceea ce il face si mai “cu mot” e faptul ca e cel mai greu de gasit atunci cand ai de rezolvat un brief.

Doi baieti destepti s-au gandit sa lamureasca nelamuritul si au creat urmatoarele doua prezentari care sper sa va fie de folos. Nu va asteptati la cine stie ce revelatie ci pur si simplu la un pic de.. inspiratie :) Enjoy:

Orange France: Blog Everywhere

Orange si Publicis Net au lansat blog-everywhere.fr

As fi vrut sa pot spune “ce bine era daca ma gandeam eu la asta”. Dar nu pot. Pentru ca m-am gandit. Citez: “In 2009? Prea devreme, n-avem tehnologia necesara..” (not-just-another-client)

Pana la vremuri mai destepte, sa invatam de aici.

When is prime time online?

In sfarsit stiu ce sa-i raspund clientului idiot naiv care m-a intrebat senin intr-o sedinta cand e prime time-ul pe online (ca el doar atunci vrea sa-i apara bannerele..)

Graficul e de fapt un mash-up al rezultatelor unor studii emarketer si orange UK. BS!

Short version: Don’t be selfish. You’re not in charge. Make promises and keep them. It’s like dating. It’s an asset, it’s expensive and it’s worth it.
