President Michael Stevenson invites you to attend the lst lecture of Fall 2008/Spring 2009
THE PRESIDENT'S FACULTY LECTURES AT THE HALPERN CENTRE
Leyland Pitt
Professor
Segal Graduate School of Business
"Ad lib: When Customers Create the Ad"
Tuesday, October 7, 2008, 4:30 p.m.
Halpern Centre, Room 126
Reception follows.
Abtract:
Consumers are now generating, rather than merely consuming advertising, and the consequences for brands, marketers, and senior executives are significant. With the rise of digital media, the internet and inexpensive media software, considerable creative and distributive power has been handed to the consumer; liberated from the exclusive control of the firm, ads now express a myriad of different voices. Using a number of high profile cases, I explore the motivations of consumers to create their own ads and develop a typology of the ads created. I then develop a model for the various strategic stances that a firm could adopt in order to anticipate and deal with the extreme consequences of liberated advertising.
