JWT ranks as the largest advertising agency brand in the United States and the fourth-largest full-service network in the world. Its parent company is WPP. Over the last 4 years JWT has hired Planned TV Arts to conduct media outreach to highlight company initiatives including Annual Trends, studies on Millennials; The American Dream; and Anxiety and other company initiatives to position JWT as thought leaders.
Opportunities / Challenges:
There are thousands of advertising agencies and tens of thousands of pundits. We have worked closely with the client in developing media messages that will have impact and are newsworthy. The spokespeople JWT used for media outreach are among the most knowledgeable in their fields and that is an advantage over rival firms vying for the same media space. We query about a thousand relevant journalists for every campaign and always look to a journalist's specific beat in trying to peg JWT's message to that journalist's area of interest. We have to be quick and get our messages out first because in the case of "trends" there are literally dozens of talking heads giving "predictions for the upcoming year."
