Industry = Advertising

Press Release Summary = Frightening changes are overtaking the fields of
advertising, marketing and public relations, says creative director and commercial
producer

Press Release Body = In an article entitled \"Advertising, R.I.P.\" radio commercial
producer Scott G (www.gmanmusic.com) predicts a fast-changing and scary future for
many aspects of the advertising industry.

Subtitled \"How information overload, data glut, and media excess will lead to
consumer revolt and an end to marketing, advertising and
public relations as we know it,\" the 1,700-word article is garnering a lot of
reaction in the industry.

Ad and public relations professionals from as far away as India have been posting
positive online reactions on sites such as Amodus.org, Adholes.com, and Soflow.com.

Selected comments from The G-Man\'s article:

\"Editorial and news coverage is now available for a price. We are in the
\'pay-to-say\' society.\"

\"The communications field keeps finding new ways to send sales messages to target
audiences, and by utilizing these new methods to the maximum extent possible, we are
strangling the effectiveness of all media.\"

\"The main problem with all of the \'advertorial\' placements, made-up stories, and
outright lying is obvious. With everything becoming an ad, people will start to turn
away from ad messages in greater numbers.\"

\"The way we\'re going, we can soon expect to hear: \'Welcome to C-SPAN\'s coverage of
the Halliburton Congress, brought to you by Bechtel.\'\"

G respects the marketing industry and is concerned that \"Without advertising,
marketing, or PR, vital communication is thwarted and sales suffer. Company payrolls
are cut and jobs are lost. Industries like manufacturing, packaging, transportation,
and retailing are all hurt. Without us, parts of the economy evaporate like a puddle
of water on sun-baked concrete.\"

In addition to ending the glut of ads, G feels that members of the ad industry need
to \"treat consumers with respect instead of like a mark, a patsy, a rube, or a flock
of sheep.\"
