About 30% of all TV ads are vaporized by Tivo today
This revolution is emphasised in the number of channels consumers now have to share and publish opinions. Social Media has provided consumers with the opportunity to contribute and publish opinions like never before. This has moved billions of thoughts online
Universal McCann Erickson Its clear what an impact these channels have had. The result is that we now TRUST a strangers opinion almost as much as people we know! A MASSIVE CHANGE • The top four trusted forms of recommendation are all direct conversation – significantly two of these are now on internet channels: email and Instant Messenger • We trust strangers online almost as much as face to face Recommendation • We would much rather trust a stranger than a celebrity, by a long way • We trust a stranger over any paid-for communications or Advertising • We trust a stranger more in a regulated environment like reviews in a retail site such as Amazon or an auction site like eBay • Blogs are becoming a trusted form of opinion, blogs from people you know rank at number 7 and those by from professionals or micropublishers, number 15. Blogs are almost as trusted as their written word counterparts, magazines and newspapers • Not everything online is trusted: emails from companies are only marginally more trusted than celebrities
“ We would hope people want to drink [Diet Coke] more than try experiments with it." Coca-Cola spokeswoman quoted in The Wall Street Journal

The media world has been turned upside down. Small more
The media world has been turned upside down. Small is now big. Less marketing is now more marketing. You gain control by giving it up. Believe it or not, there are actually some rules in this crazy environment. They start with acknowledging that influence is undergoing an inversion. Important information increasingly starts at the street level and spreads upward. A new breed of tech-savvy consumers and business professionals is accelerating this trend.
