What’s with all the expanded sales roles at The Weather Company (see Executive Moves)? It’s all about diving further into a predictive advertising sales model. “No other publisher has the strength in cable, strength in web, strength in mobile and strength in data like The Weather Company,” Eric Hadley, SVP sales, strategy and solutions, tells Cynopsis. “This new sales model is about combining all of those strengths to help marketers create a powerful Weather Strategy – much like they have a search strategy and a social strategy.And considering weather impacts one third of the economy, a Weather Strategy is a huge weapon in a marketer’s arsenal.”
A lot of talk, not so much action? Adweek reports that according to a survey by Forrester Research and the Association of National Advertisers, just 23 percent of marketers queried understand and use programmatic buying.
