Matrix Solutions’ 2018 Ad Spend Churn in America Report Unveils Two in Three Advertisers Return to Advertise on Broadcast, One in Three Churn

At a time when metrics and KPIs rule all decision making in the media buying process for advertisements, a new report examining churn across broadcast, digital broadcast and radio found that broadcast is least likely to experience churned accounts at a 36.34 percent churn rate; followed by radio with a churn rate of 43.76 percent; with digital broadcast proving the most volatile with a churn rate of 50.09 percent.

However, the stakes are higher for broadcast and radio when an account churns than it is for digital broadcast platforms. On average, a churned account for broadcast yields a loss of $7,887 per media deal; for radio it's $5,626; and for digital broadcast, even though it has the highest churn rate, the impact of that churn, on average, costs $3,920.

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/owlet-raises-24-million-in-series-b.html

The findings come from Matrix Solutions' 2018 Ad Spend Churn in America Report, a comprehensive report on the state of the advertising spend churn rates derived from the activity of more than 400,000 active accounts within media ad sales teams from Matrix's global ad sales platform Monarch. The data analyzed media ad deals between July 2016 to June 2018 to determine churn activity across industries and broadcast, digital broadcast and radio platforms.

"When thinking about advertising spend, the industry tends to only look at the money that exchanges hands between the advertiser and the media company—and we wanted to instead look at the money that never left the negotiating table," said Mark Gorman, CEO at Matrix Solutions.

"Broadcast clearly fares better than its digital counterpart, and it's all because of measurement. There are fewer reasons for advertisers to doubt the effectiveness of their broadcast ad buys, hence why the platform is least likely to churn. There's less proof to show what is and isn't working. In contrast, digital broadcast has more of a burden to bare in that it captures more metrics to paint a picture of success for a digital ad buy—but failure as well, hence the platform's 50 percent churn rate."

Churn by Industry

Possessing a window into churn rates for specific industries enables media companies to better develop their media sales strategies. Churn history helps forecast the likelihood of which advertisers might fail to return revenue to a platform and which advertiser is likely to repeat business.
When examining industries least likely to experience churn:

Broadcast

Digital Broadcast

Radio

Churn by Brand

Some brands are more reliable than others—in addition to Matrix Solutions' 2018 Ad Spend Churn in America Report highlighting specific churn rates, and the cost of that churn across platforms and industries, it has also captured data on brands with the highest loss in revenue due to churned accounts that come out of a national sales office across broadcast, digital broadcast and radio.

Data was derived from Matrix's global ad sales platform Monarch. Data was captured from July 2016 to June 2018.

Findera Introduces The First Search Engine To Find Professional People

Findera announced today the availability of its new search engine, designed to help professionals succeed. Findera gives everyone the power to find the right people - such as employers, employees, partners, and customers - for their business purposes.

With Findera, anyone can search through 130 million professionals by name, location, position, department, time in position, company name, industry, company size, revenue, and more criteria. It is also possible to bookmark people and add them to any number of lists, which can eliminate the tedious task of copying and pasting text between documents to create lists of people. These lists can be exported to other tools such as spreadsheets, or shared with co-workers.

"Finding the right people is the starting point for most business endeavors. Unfortunately, this can be more difficult than it should be," said Cindy Padnos, founder and Managing Partner of Illuminate Ventures. "As a venture capitalist, a critical part of my role is helping our founders connect with top professionals at many companies. Finding the connections I seek is amazingly fast and easy with Findera."

Thanks to its innovative graph search technology, Findera understands the relationships between people and companies. This enables professionals to find the right people based on specific people and company attributes simultaneously, with one single search. For example, it only takes a few seconds to find VPs of Marketing at companies of a certain size and in a specific industry - or Directors of Human Resources at companies with more than $50M in revenue.

"The 'fabric of work' is changing. Work relationships are more fluid, decentralized, and autonomous. Professionals need an efficient way to develop their most important professional relationships," said Christophe Daligault, Findera COO and co-founder. "A free search engine provides a fresh alternative to time-consuming social networks and costly specialized services. Findera empowers all business professionals, including recruiters, business owners, consultants, business development and sales professionals, regardless of the size of their company and their budgets."

Findera is free to use and available starting today at findera.com

AHEA Panel Releases Report On Addressing Sexual Harassment and Advancing Women in Politics

The Illinois Anti-Harassment, Equality and Access (AHEA) Panel today released its report that outlines recommendations for political party leaders and campaigns to adopt in order to change the culture and behaviors that have allowed sexual harassment to pervade our political system and stunt the advancement of women for decades. (See the end of the release for links to the Panel's report, model policy addressing sexual harassment for campaigns, and the report's video.)

A non-partisan organization led by State Comptroller Susana A. Mendoza, State Sen. Melinda Bush (31st District, Grayslake) and State Rep. Carol Ammons (103rd District, Champaign), the Panel sent its report to Democratic, Green, Libertarian, and Republican party leaders at the state and county level as well as all statewide and state-level campaigns registered with the State Board of Elections. The Panel is asking them to adopt the tenets of the report and offering to meet with leaders to provide feedback, guidance and input on its recommendations as well as next steps. The panel has asked county chairs to share the report with other county and municipal campaigns and party leaders.

Some of the highlights of the Panel's recommendations include: tie party funding and resources to campaigns adopting policies and participating in anti-harassment training; create an independent body that is independent from party leadership to receive complaints of sexual-harassment within the parties and on campaigns; and a commitment by each party to put forth resources in the form of dollars and staff to intentionally recruit and support women to win 50% of elected offices across state, county and municipal offices, and move more women into leadership positions throughout political organizations and campaigns.

"Every political party here in Illinois has a historic opportunity to make a break from a past where women were subject to debasing and unacceptable behaviors in the workplace that not only humiliated and shamed them, but stunted or ended the potential of many bright careers," said State Comptroller Susana A. Mendoza. "Let's send a message by bypassing partisanship and together embrace a future where we support and celebrate women, as well as people of color, people with disabilities and the LGBTQ community as equals in this system."

Last July, the panel hosted six listening sessions in cities across Illinois to gather feedback and input from women of all political persuasions who work or once worked in politics to help inform the outcome and recommendations of this report. The listening tour included: Urbana-Champaign; Chicago; Rockford; Edwardsville; Springfield; and Carbondale. The panel also provided an opportunity for women to share experiences either anonymously or by name via a survey on its website http://www.AHEApanel.org. Hundreds of women ultimately participated in this process.

"This report comes from both the heart and direct experiences of hundreds of women who've worked in politics here in Illinois. Party leaders across all aisles should take this extremely seriously and act on it as a signal that they hear us and believe us," said State Senator Melinda Bush. "To not act upon this or to delay implementation will send the wrong message to women during a time when we are all woke to this crisis and will no longer settle for lip service from political leaders." Read this for more information.

The panel not only heard stories from women about their experiences with sexual harassment, but more so about what a future state should look like, which includes an intentional effort by all political parties to elevate women into leadership positions throughout politics as well as electing more women to office. Women throughout the state consistently expressed a wish to have more seats at the table and to be valued in Illinois politics. This report provides a roadmap for starting to create the culture women need in campaigns, political offices and political parties.

"Sexual Assault is not a Republican or Democrat issue. It's a human issue. What does the current climate teach women and girls about coming forward to speak about their victimization? Death threats, suspicion, ridicule and scorn. Motives questioned and credibility attacked," said State Representative Carol Ammons. "This is the culture that needs to be eradicated. The victims should not be on trial. We must foster an environment where survivors will feel safe, heard, and secure."

The report's specific recommendations are as follows:

Intentional Workplace Culture Change to Create Safe, Dignified Work Environments That Are Free From Sexual Harassment and Other Misconduct

Adopt clear and non-negotiable policies that go beyond the law
Provide anti-harassment training to everyone involved in campaigns
Tie party funding and resources to campaigns adopting policies and participating in training
Provide independent reporting avenues for reporting potential misconduct
Establish an Independent Body to receive and investigate complaints
Conduct fair and thorough investigations
Prohibit retaliation and provide support services for victims of sexual harassment
Prohibit non-disclosure agreements and mandatory arbitration clauses
Craft reasonable policies for consensual romantic relationships and alcohol use

Elect More Women to Office in Illinois and Promote More into Leadership Positions Throughout Politics

Commit to a concrete goal of women filling 50% of the seats in Illinois' General Assembly
Hire a manager-level Director of Diversity in the state parties to recruit more diverse candidates to run for elected office and for top-level staff positions
Invest party money in training women, developing their talent, and supporting their races and promoting women into leaderships positions in campaigns and political organizations
Require diversity in the pool of applicants or candidates considered for every political vacancy and leadership position (including people of color, LGBTQ and people with disabilities)
Establish an Advisory Board to oversee these changes

"Sexual harassment doesn't discriminate by industry, workplace, title or political party. It's on all of us to create workspaces where women are safe and empowered to lead," said Tina Tchen, legal counsel to the Illinois Anti-Harassment, Equality and Access (AHEA) Panel. "Navigating gender issues in the workplace isn't always easy and our existing tools and laws do not fully address these issues. I'm hopeful this new roadmap will give campaign leadership the tools they need to get it right, and help create an environment where women are not only supported in the workplace, but are also met with dignity, respect and the resources they need to lead or run for public office. I hope this report will serve as a stepping stone in moving Illinois forward."

The profound lack of trust and skepticism in the investigation of sexual harassment complaints, and whether campaigns would actually do anything to address reported misconduct, was the impetus for recommending that each state party establish an independent body, that's independent of party leadership, to receive complaints of misconduct, whether from their own staff or from campaigns, and to promptly investigate and resolve all such complaints.

The Panel is not making specific recommendations as to how the independent body should be formed and act, as that process should be open to additional discussion and as part of the Advisory Board's role with each party, which the panel recommends be appointed to oversee change in the system. Ultimately, such an independent body must be created that is truly independent of party leadership so that women feel comfortable and confident coming forward with complaints knowing that they will be taken seriously and thoroughly investigated.

The Panel will continue to engage the public, political leaders and elected officials around these issues and looks forward to seeing the next steps that each party and organization will take in adopting these recommendations.

Empowering Readers to Take Charge of Financial Life Key Focus of You Are The Boss

Between the soaring stock market, the glut of high-tech investment tools available and the sea of financial advisors offering their services, individual investors should be raking in returns that closely mirror Wall Street performance. Yet the vast majority of them are significantly underperforming the market.

It's this ongoing inequity that long-time financial advocate Walter F. Burns is determined to change through his empowering new book, You Are the Boss: Take Control of Your Financial Destiny.

"I've seen so many people ruin themselves financially—in part because they didn't have a basic understanding of investing do's and don'ts, but mostly because they weren't emotionally prepared," notes Burns. "Investors need to know how to avoid high fees and establish a diversified investment strategy that will serve them over the long term. But more than anything, they need to know how to develop the strong Emotional Armor® necessary to weather turbulent financial markets." Read news here.

In his engaging, tell-it-like-it-is style, Burns draws on more than forty years experience in the field of finance and personal lessons learned to guide readers through the financial maze that confounds so many individual investors. He also takes readers through an extensive Emotional Armor®-building exercise that ensures they have the confidence and mental discipline they need to grow, maximize and protect their wealth.

This isn't an investment strategies book. Instead, it's a personal empowerment guide that arms readers with the knowledge and tools they need to succeed in every aspect of their financial life. It takes a holistic approach to an individual's wealth management needs—from addressing the emotional behaviors that lead to costly mistakes, to clarifying the purpose of their wealth and the true wealth management services they should employ to achieve all that is important to them. It also teaches readers how to spot and avoid scams such as the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme and other "too good to be true" financial ploys.

"People need to know that with a little know-how and mental preparedness, they have the power within themselves to achieve the financial inner peace they desire," says Burns. "The bottom line message is that they are the boss when it comes to their financial destiny—and I don't want them to ever forget that."

You Are the Boss: Take Charge of Your Financial Destiny is now available for purchase through amazon.com, bn.com and any other online stores. It can also be ordered through any bookstore in North America.

Walter F. Burns, a former naval aviator, is a passionate financial advocate with more than forty years of industry experience. He is the founder of Family Steward Wealth Consulting®, an independent registered advisory firm based in North Palm Beach, Florida.
