<description><![CDATA[In his editorial, Charles Taylor introduces this edition of the International Journal of Advertising. He presents the problem that increased difficulty in achieving desired reach and frequency efficiently through traditional advertising media due to a highly cluttered environment, has given rise to more use of other forms of promotion in an effort to build brands and achieve other objectives. While there are some media that can help cut through advertising clutter with a highly targeted audience or in certain contexts, there is nevertheless an ongoing and substantial need for advertisers to find ways to get their message through to consumers. Product placement has seen a resurgence over the last decade and has also generated a very large volume of research.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Today's practice of brand placement and the industry behind&amp;#160;it]]></title>
<link>http://www.warc.com/articles/IJA.asp?ID=90586</link>

<description><![CDATA[This article presents a content analysis of brand placement on Dutch television, followed by 24 interviews with the parties involved. By combining a content analysis and a practitioners' perspective, this article offers unique insights into the increasingly popular phenomenon of integrating advertising into television content. Analysis of one week's television programming showed that programmes with brand placement are growing into a significant part of Dutch television. A fifth of these sponsored programmes can be classified as brand-integrated programmes in which brands are an intrinsic part of the programme. The practitioner interviews showed that these brand-integrated programmes were considered as the future of advertising. Moreover, the interviews gave insights into the mutual relationships between the different parties, showing that practitioners use the law restrictions to estimate the acceptance levels of the audience with respect to television sponsoring.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Product placement in entertainment media:  proposing business process models]]></title>
<link>http://www.warc.com/articles/IJA.asp?ID=90587</link>

<description><![CDATA[Product placement within entertainment media has gained increasing attention from both the industry and scholars. This study uses Social Exchange Theory to explore the process through which products and brands become embedded within motion pictures and television. Through in-depth interviews with executives from leading entertainment studios, multinational manufacturers and integrated marketing firms, this research identifies the participants involved in the process, and offers three models of the product placements: serendipitous placements, opportunistic placements and planned placements. The models provide a conceptual and practical framework for navigating the product placement process.]]></description>

<link>http://www.warc.com/articles/IJA.asp?ID=90588</link>
<author>Eric Delattre and Ana Colovic</author>
<description><![CDATA[Although brand placement in movies and TV series has attracted significant interest from researchers and practitioners, little is known about the financed insertion of brands in songs. However, evidence is growing that this kind of placement could be of interest for addressing certain types of target audience. This article sheds light on this new form of communication, and highlights its interest for advertisers. It also studies its effectiveness. Based on a web survey, the paper analyses recall and recognition of 17 brands placed in two songs 'Tes Parents' Your parents, a French chanson-style song by Vincent Delerm, and 'Wonderbra', a rap song by MC Solaar, and attitude towards the use of brands in songs.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Exploring attractive messages in group package tour newspaper advertisements]]></title>
<link>http://www.warc.com/articles/IJA.asp?ID=90589</link>
<author>Kuo-Ching Wang, Po-Chen Jao, Yu-Shan Lin and Ying-zhi Guo</author>
<description><![CDATA[The group package tour GPT is one of the main modes of outbound travel in many Asian countries and areas. In practice, most of the travel agencies utilise the newspaper to promote their GPTs. Although prior newspaper travel advertisements provided useful information, only single or a number of advertising messages were considered. In order to fill this gap, the primary objective of this study was to find out what types of message are attractive to the customers in the GPT advertisement from a holistic perspective. Both qualitative and quantitative methods, with 400 usable samples, were conducted for data analysis. Attractive messages for three different destinations China, Japan and Thailand with six clusters were profiled at component level. The findings reveal that messages of appeal, text, size and format design represent over 78% of the total percentage. Further implications for designing attractive messages in terms of a destination or cluster perspective are discussed.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[The role of confidence in attitude-intention and beliefs-attitude relationships]]></title>
<link>http://www.warc.com/articles/IJA.asp?ID=90590</link>
<author>Lars Bergkvist</author>
<description><![CDATA[Confidence - how certain a consumer feels about his or her evaluation of a brand - is of interest to advertising researchers since it appears to be more susceptible to advertising exposure and repetition than other, more commonly used outcome variables, such as brand attitude and purchase intention. However, the role of confidence is not clear. A number of studies in marketing find that confidence predicts purchase intention, whereas other studies, mostly in psychology, find that confidence moderates attitude&#8211;intention or attitude-behaviour relationships. These differences in results may be the result of method differences, as the two groups of studies differ in several ways in their methodologies. The present study tests the role of confidence using data from four large-sample internet advertising surveys and finds that confidence moderates the attitude-intention relationship. In addition, the study tests whether or not confidence moderates the belief-attitude relationship and finds that confidence moderates this relationship too.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Outcomes of advertiser-agency relationships: the form and role of cooperation]]></title>
<link>http://www.warc.com/articles/IJA.asp?ID=90591</link>
<author>Dale F. Duhan and K&amp;#229;re Sandvik</author>
<description><![CDATA[The form and the role of cooperation within advertising relationships is the focus of this research. The theory posits that trust, commitment and cooperation are the core of the relationship and that the agency's performance and the advertiser's willingness-to-pay-more for the agency's services are the outcomes. Cooperation is defined and tested as a higher-order construct with three facets: shared problem solving, information exchange and flexibility. Competing theories are presented: the shared-influence model and the sole-mediator model. The contrast between the models focuses on whether the influence of trust and commitment is: 1 entirely mediated through cooperation; 2 shared with cooperation; or 3 bypasses cooperation altogether. The results indicate that although cooperation has a strong influence on agency performance, both trust and commitment have direct and indirect mediated through cooperation influences on performance. This supports the shared-influence model. The results also indicate that cooperation can successfully be measured as a higher-order construct.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In this book review, Nicki Lynas reads up on how the internet has changed the way businesses communicate with their consumers and build loyalty online.
