Journalists continue to search for a viable business model that supports online hyperlocal publications, but they won’t ever reach the threshold of revenues to maintain operations if they rely solely on traditional advertising fees from local merchants. That doesn’t mean local advertising is also poised to fall off a cliff. On the contrary, BIA/Kelsey states the prospects for online local advertising will double by 2015, but much of that growth will come from new mobile applications and daily deals category vendors. Here are five reasons why hyperlocal news faces hurdles to profitability

Twitter is basically TV at this point: unlike social networks, most people are here to follow brands, entertainers and events they like, not interact with their friends (although they also do that, but it increasingly seems to be secondary), and will increasingly do so with commercial interruption. Is that vision realistic? In a word, yes.

This, amigos, is modern advertising. How so? Let me count the ways. First, a message about a sustainable food system from a fast-food restaurant. In this instance, Chipotle. Secondly, it’s not a TV spot. No, it’s a film that by all accounts is starting to go “viral.” Third, it’s a content play featuring a brilliant cover of Coldplay’s “The Scientist,” by the iconic Willie Nelson. Where are the savory food shots? The cheese pulls? The bite and smiles? They are far away in the land of irrelevance. Enjoy

Great. However: shouldn't Chipotle have found a way to deliver some message reinforcement around how they actually *do* support sustainable food? Or is that message supposed to inhere within the video? Or to be contextualised within a wider discourse about their green enterprise credentials? If so, it fails. Why? This may push the buttons of wistful Pixar fans, Coldplay obssessives (shudder) or stoned burrito-fanciers ('Chipotle! Pig go square! Ooh! Plasticine!' etc) but it addresses precisely nothing in terms of the issue it purportedly addresses.
Great sell for the agency. Great promotion for Chipotle. But how does it us closer to shortening the distance between principle and practice in helping businesses *show* a commitment to the 'social turn' wherein they manifest rather than gesture towards their commitment to aligning strong revenue generation with the social good?

Andrew I agree, the transformation in the advertising landscape in a socially connected world is exemplified by this. Great concept, great execution and resonant message-now people will want a conversation about the substance and what the company are doing to shorten this distance between 'principle and practice'.
I am less inclined to berate Chipotle as I am just as much to blame for the current issues with modern food production as anybody else. Would other food manufacturers we won't mention choose to go out there with this discussion? The comments on YouTube video I sourced were open... |
