ISC tapped expertise from the multimedia and TV units of Dentsu to move from the conceptualization stage to launching in just four months. The company created a campaign, which incorporated a dazzling array of media vehicles, for a principal automobile manufacturer that targeted the dealership-shy new generation of automobile buyers.

A close shave

Article Abstract:

The newspaper industry in Japan has reported weaker revenues since 1998 when advertisers significantly reduced their advertising expenditures. The reduced advertising spend has been triggered by industry-wide cost cutting strategies, which includes strealining of operations, increasing computerization and efficiency. The reduced ad spend also affected sales in the magazine and books sectors. Meanwhile, the newspaper industry has launched a nationwide campaign to raise the awareness and value of newspapers.
