Where can i find a company who will sell my magazine advertising space?

muffin79 — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 02:43:28 GMT

I am having no luck finding a UK media sales agency who can take care of selling the advertising space in our bi-monthly magazine. It is a good quality, well-known financial magazine.

I honestly thought that there would be lots of companies who do this - perhaps I am looking in the wrong places?

Can anyone help me?

It would be much appreciated if you could recommend someone.

Thanks :)

Will advertising kill Facebook?

Editor — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 12:43:47 GMT

Our research shows that Facebook users are not happy with advertisers encroaching on their social space? But what do you think? Is it an unwelcome invasion of commerciality or do you actually find the brands advertising relevant to you?

Is new Sony ad by Fallon plagiarism?

MelL — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 11:04:34 GMT

Sony has been accused of plagiarising the work of two artists in it's latest ad. As im sure you all know, the new ad shows coloured rabbits invading Manhattan in New York. The artists (Kozue and Dan Kitchens) have pointed the striking resemblance to a painting of theirs which shows multi coloured rabbits running around in New York.

Oh dear!

Who else thinks the ad isnt all it's been hyped up to be?

Fat kids get fatter through online marketing

MelL — Mon, 21 May 2007 11:16:44 GMT

This is similar to what others have been talking about in a different forum but this is something a bit different. I read a report in Business Week that a study was done into online marketing to kids. It found that junk food is advertised everywhere kids go online- from virtual worlds to social networks. So was banning fast food tv ads to kids a waste of time? It appears that if advertisers cant reach kids through the tv, they will simply find new ways. Does ALL fast food advertising to kids need to be banned? If so, how on earth would this be achieved?

We've all gone SEO mad

linda — Wed, 23 May 2007 10:14:36 GMT

The Post Office have just appointed Tamar to handle its SEO in natural search. That itself isnt very interesting. The thing that is interesting to me is that it seems everyone is thinking about SEO- even the Post Office! Should we all be assigning agencies to improve our rankings?
