Despite the rise of the iPod, radio must be one of the most personal media ever to have been invented. The changing DJ/presenter line-ups and music play-lists on our top music radio stations are certainly one of the longest running debates ever on Bizcommunity.com - starting last year with 5FMs new DJ line-up; to the constant change at Jacaranda; the type of music played by Highveld, YFM and Metro; and Good Hope FMs latest commercial with scantily clad shipmates! The 'outlaw status' of some of the campus radio stations like Tuks have also been in the news as they find favour with listeners who feel they no longer belong in the commercial stations' footprint. This past week has seen daily news stories with 702 Talk Radio's 25th anniversary, to a new morning show host at Jacaranda to take on the RAW team at rival Highveld. It all makes for great listening... and great copy!

Have a good one! Louise Marsland, Editor, editor@bizcommunity.com

    Growing interest in SA as a business destination
    European interest in doing business with South Africa is growing and local organisations should step up their efforts to inform key markets about economic opportunities, according to Wendy Luhabe, chairperson of the International Marketing Council.

    Creative brainstorms - a lesson from the world of improv
    [Sid Peimer ] Drew Carry's TV show, 'Who's line is it anyway', seems a totally chaotic and spontaneous process. The actors make sophisticated decisions on the spur of the moment, without the benefit of a script. This improvisation comedy (improv) appears to involve trickery - how could they possibly develop ideas so quickly? The truth is that there is a trick. It's called cooperation...

    New markets, new consumers to shape future brand value
    [Dee Blackie ] Are marketers ready for change? Whether marketing in, or to a new consumer and business reality, a number of key trends and ideas are emerging to shape our future, particularly through 2005.

This visitor figure is 10% up on that of the 2004 show.

    Is your brand worth billions?
    [Naseem Javed] Is your brand valuation worth a billion dollars today? Maybe yes or maybe no, but it surely is worth something pretty big. At the end of the day, all the work you have put in pushing your name identity and your range of products and services in your marketplace adds up in an abstract space of the consumer's mind, where it acquires some great value.

    Make a VUKA! Make a Difference! - MultiChoice VUKA! Awards

    Brands: distinctly different or not?
    Brands that aim to communicate a point of difference in their advertising are not necessarily being distinctive according to an international marketing scientist. At the recent 'Distinctiveness vs. Differentiation' workshops in Johannesburg and Cape Town, Professor Rachel Kennedy, International Marketing Scientist from the Research and Development Initiative (R&DI) in Australia, explained why this debate continues.

    Innovation needed to cut through marketing noise
    Launching another competitor in the fiercely contested premium beer category into the local market and breaking through the legion of messages consumers are bombarded with daily, needed an innovative approach when South African Breweries launched premium Italian beer, Peroni Nastro Azzurro. Brand Activation (an Ogilvy company) developed a lateral campaign designed to bridge the noise currents and effectively reach its Gauteng test market.


    CRM
    CRM does not equal 'customer service'
    [Ronelle van Rensburg] It is amazing that people still believe CRM technology can be the answer to all customer satisfaction problems. CRM or Customer Relationship Management has been used as the latest IT "hot product" and has very little if anything to do with customers. Customer Satisfaction unfortunately cannot be achieved by a piece of software alone, no matter how expensive or effective this software might be.


    Design
    Getting stuck on BBDO
    BBDO has launched gloo, a creative digital design company, to fill what the agency sees as a gap in the SA communications market and will offer design solutions across all digital platforms as an independent business unit within the BBDO group.

    Tequila scores with a beer
    Tequila Johannesburg will be appearing in the new British D&AD Annual with packaging designed for Bru - a range of beers from a micro brewery started by Mignon Botes, former MD (and now client) of Tequila Johannesburg. The micro brewery is aimed at tourists going on safari in the Kruger Park. Designed by George Rautenbach, the labels feature animals made up out of the letters 'b,r,u' for Rabbit Lager, Elephant Ale, Aardvark Red Ale, and Hippo Rich & Strong Ale.


    Digital
    Blocking spam affects marketers
    Some 80% of emails constitute spam and because spam cannot be traced to the actual senders, it continues to be a huge global problem. Microsoft has now taken a stand as an industry body to curb spam with a new policy to flag any email that doesn't have a valid Sender ID profile as potential spam. Sender ID is technology that allows mail servers to automatically determine whether the senders are who they say they are.

    Direct Marketing
    Crossed off the list
    Running effective marketing campaigns is a challenge, especially if the chosen campaign focuses on the use of direct communication with either existing or potential customers, many of whom may be redundant.

    Getting a direct response without spamming
    Direct Marketers need to embrace all marketing mediums and available technology with the specific intent of generating accurate data about customers who have a qualified interest in a brand before they can begin to raise the credibility of direct marketing and elevate it to the level of 'response-driven advertising'.

    Bogus operators targeting exhibitions
    Suppliers to the eventing industry have been warned that fraudsters are targeting the industry, stealing thousands of rands worth of equipment from venues. Plasmaview Technologies were recently the victims of fraud as a bogus client ordered thousands of rands worth of audio visual equipment which was then stolen from the venue.


    Magazines
    Eating in is selling out
    New Media Publishing's annual food directory Eat In has enjoyed a 30% newsstand sales increase from 2004, while the market also grew significantly with the local food-and-home magazine category up 15% from last year - very much a reflection of global trends.

    The reality of modelling talent
    The rooi rose supermodel competition has been discovering fresh modelling talent in South Africa for more than a decade and this year Caxton Magazines has raised the bar by fusing the medium with television to create "rooi rose Supermodels", a reality-style programme.

    Radio

    Kieno Kammies, the new host of Jacaranda 94.2's Good Morning show, has promised to run the most successful breakfast show in South Africa - and in South African radio circles dominated by some long-time heavyweight jocks, that's quite an ambitious aim.

    From Monday, 4 July 2005, a new voice is going to shake up the airwaves in Jo'burg. Chris Jordan (25) will take the weekdays 7pm to 10pm hot seat on 94.7 Highveld Stereo. Jordan has an extensive radio background having hosted for several years on campus radio station Tuks FM 107.2 (where he was known as 'Papa G'), including the afternoon drive.

    Tswane gets a new wake-up call from TuksFM

    A South African media icon turns 25
    [Louise Marsland] Which of us in the media will ever forget newscaster, Chris Gibbons, intoning... "this is breaking news..." on 702 Radio in the 1980s and 1990s. As a young journalist at The Star newspaper in the late 80s, the newsroom would come to a halt at lunchtime as we listened to 702's main midday news to find out whether there was any breaking news.

    Radio listenership up in the Free State
    According to the latest RAMS figures, there has been a general decline in commercial and community radio listener figures countrywide, but OFM has bucked this trend by showing the strongest growth in the country. The new figures indicate that the station has grown from 514 000 to 542 000 listeners in central South Africa. Lyndon Johnstone, Managing Director of OFM, says the Free State is the only province where more people listen to radio, for longer periods of time.

    Six ways to quash arguments against change and reap rewards - Growth Partners
    [Ian Widdop] Organisations that take the decision to improve their business by improving their knowledge of customers, and creating more value for them, set in motion the dreaded ball of change. People are inherently resistant to change, and if it is not embraced organisations will find it increasingly difficult to meet their growth targets and produce happy customers.


    Sponsorship
    Finding educational value in corporate sponsorships
    [Alda Heunis] South Africa's business sector has a very important role to play in the development and upliftment of the country's children. Its contribution, in the form of sponsorships and resources is much needed in a country where funds are not always in abundance. School programmes funded by the corporate community can help to remove barriers in areas of disadvantage, according to Michael Cameron, Head of General Education and Training (GET) Curriculum in the Western Cape.

    M-Net makes more magic
    M-Net's new ad campaign, conceptualised and created by Ogilvy Johannesburg, launches this week with the pay channel's updated payoff line - Where Magic Lives. Marketing director Enzo Scarcella says that since launching 20 years ago, M-Net has made it a goal to own the concept of magic: "You'd struggle to find a South African who can't break into a spontaneous rendition of 'We won't stop the magic' - and that particular payoff line hasn't been used in over three years."
