IAB NZ presents…Kia Motors: a case study

IAB NZ presents...Kia Motors: a case study – presented by Graeme Perry, Strategic & Corporate Affairs Manager, Kia Motors

The economic recession created many challenges for the auto industry. However, Kia Motors jumped out of the blocks with a record start to 2010 new vehicle sales in New Zealand.

The 252 new models registered during January represent a 166% increase on the same month a year ago, which completely shadows the 6% growth by the whole industry in January, and is the highest total recorded by Kia since it entered the market a decade and a half ago.

According to reports by Google and Ispos MORI, the internet plays a dramatic role in the purchase of a new or used car. In 2009, Google announced that 80% of new car buyers start their search on the internet and from this, 69% started that search using a search engine.

Join us as Graeme Perry, Strategic & Corporate Affairs Manager, Kia Motors New Zealand shares the details behind their success and how online has been a big part of it.

Automotive Online Marketing Trends in 2010 – presented by Michael Gregg, Head of Advertising at Trade Me and Chairman, IAB.

As audiences continue to shift online, automotive ad spend will follow, according to a recent study from The Kelsey Group where they predict that annual revenues in the automotive advertising market will hold steady at $40 billion globally through 2011.

In the US, there has been a structural shift to automotive online advertising.
Total Advertising Spending by US Auto Manufacturers, by Media Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for 2005-2007:

  • Television -5.2%
  • Magazines -7.5%
  • Internet* 48.0%
  • Newspapers -31.1%
  • Radio -0.4%
  • Outdoor 0.3%

Source: eMarketer, “Automotive Marketing Online: Negotiating the Curves”, June 2008

While in New Zealand, figures released by IAB/PwC for online adspend in the automotive category show Q1, 2010 to be the highest quarter since 2008.

Michael Gregg, Head of Advertising at Trade Me, will share his thoughts on online marketing trends and experiences in the automotive sector, from New Zealand’s biggest automotive website, Trade Me Motors.

Who should attend?
Directors, managers and professionals in charge of Marketing & Communications, Digital Marketing, Online Media. Agency buyers & planners.

How can Publishers best engage with social media users? A Facebook perspective

Presented by: Paul Webster | Facebook

A few clever publishers including the New York Times and CNN have figured out what users of social media sites like Facebook really want and are great case studies on how to best leverage social marketing to engage with people in a two-way dialogue.
 
Many publishers, often working closely with their agencies, have been able to launch and iterate their models over time and have learned about the importance of their brands being authentic and that Facebook can be as much their ears as it is their voice.

RSVP today - there are only 15 seats available (places are limited to one per company)

IAB & ANZA present…Outfox, Outsmart and Outgrow Your Competition

sponsored by 

2010 will be the definitive year for online advertising in New Zealand. Interactive ad spend increased from $193m in 2008 to $214m in 2009, and its share of overall advertising grew from 8.3% to 10.5% year-on-year. It is the first time interactive share has breached the 10% threshold. Right now your brand is likely to have massive opportunity to dominate its category online - here's why:

  • Many categories are massively under-represented in search, display and social media advertising
  • Many brands are tipping a much smaller % of their advertising spend into online than the % of media consumption from their customers
  • Many brands fail to track, revise and update their creative approaches to online advertising in a timely (daily!) manner
  • Many brands fail to fund their media executions appropriately to maximise the long-tail opportunities for their brand to be at every point of customer engagement online

    If your brand is in one of these key categories you must attend this event to find out how to be at the head of the pack!

    •    FMCG
    •    Gardening / Renovations
    •    Home Entertainment
    •    Alcohol
    •    Retail
    •    Automotive

Josh Borthwick | MD | Adhub: What are the opportunities available and who are the strong brands in online and why?

Some staple opportunities exist online depending on your business and the nature of your products and services. The largest are search and display. These formats are the most prolific in terms of investment from marketers and the results they deliver. Unfortunately many brands make the mistake of investing in one or the other. The reality is both are necessary to really build a profile online - display for reach and purchase intent and search for conversion and traffic.

Social media is the topic of 2010 and two clear winners have emerged for different reasons. Facebook for its ability to create buzz and buy audience share and Twitter for its immediacy and proliferation. Both platforms offer new and exciting ways to communicate with customers and turn detractors into raving fans.

The most important thing for your brand is to discover what formats and platforms are important and how to grab share from your competitors!

 Ryf Quail | GM | Carat: Why marketers should invest more in online media {view bio}


> 88% - that's 3.2million New Zealanders have access to the internet
> 80% have gone online in the last 4 weeks

However, advertisers only spent 10.6% online in 2009. Does that mean their fishing rods are broken?

Ryf Quail, GM of Carat NZ lays it down straight for kiwi marketers. He will look at how many brands fail to fund their media executions appropriately to maximise the long-tail opportunities for their brand to be at every point of customer engagement online.

The web has proved a perfect enabler for the classifieds market. From inauspicious beginnings 10 years ago, online real estate, employment and automotive sites have flourished. 

However in 2009, the classifieds market stalled with spend decreasing from $75.32m to $71.43m.

What does the future hold for online classifieds?  Find out about the emerging trends and how you can use them to your advantage.

Mark Roper | New Zealand Marketing Manager | Sanitarium: Case study
{view bio}

For over a century, Sanitarium has strived to educate NZers on better lifestyles. From their founding in 1898, Sanitarium advocated a nutritious diet and regular exercise, leading to their innovations in the breakfast foods category.

In recent years, this category has exploded with a raft of new entrants promising varying, improved health benefits. In addition the internet has become a catalyst for a global awakening in informed wellness. Communities are sharing information and advice on all aspects of health and lifestyle.

In 2009, Sanitarium committed to invest further in their digital strategy as a core component of developing their position as a respected leader in Health & Wellbeing. This was reflected in a significant increase in online media spend and the development of a unique online partnership that could provide inspiring and informative content for the key audience of health aware women. 

Mark will share the case study of the partnership, and insights into how the inclusion of digital into the Sanitarium marketing mix supports their marketing objectives.

Mark will be joined by Alysha Buckley, General Manager, PHDIQ – Sanitarium’s digital media agency.

Can you imagine what that sort of growth must be like? How do you make sure you don’t go off the rails? How do you keep delivering product excellence? How do you keep the right culture in the company? How do you hire the right people and so many of them?

IAB & MPA Present…Magazines are Dead PIX & VIDEO

View pictures from the event

View the video - thanks to http://www.silverlinemedia.tv

View review thanks to StopPress

What happened to the days where magazines were jam-packed of advertisers and weighed as much as a brick? Thanks to a shift and focus on alternative media (aka the Internet), advertisers have slashed, cut and eliminated many of their print advertising budgets.

Or does digital just need to get off their holier than thou high horse and accept that magazines are here to stay?

The Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) and Magazines Publishers Association (MPA) brought top industry experts together for a good ole fashion debate on whether Magazines are Dead


DEBATE TEAMS

Affirmative
Siobhan McKenna, Mediaworks
Tom Osborne, wag the dog
Michael Gregg, Trade Me

Negative
Vincent Heeringa, HB Media
Sahil Merchant, Mag Nation
Mike Hutcheson, Image Centre Group

Chair: Paul Dykzeul (CEO of ACP)
