Market Characteristics

Overall, the internet continues to remain the standout medium for growth in Asia, with its share of the total ad spend looking to rise from 16.9 per cent in 2011 to 22.8 per cent in 2014. Television however, which takes the lion's share of the advertising pie at 40.7 per cent in 2011, is expected to decline slightly to 39.7 per cent by 2014.

Rise of Asia

Nowadays, with the face-to-face agency-client relationship based at the Asian headquarters, PR people in the East are gaining more opportunities than ever to devise and manage global PR campaigns. This is proving quite an adjustment for some in Western agency networks unaccustomed to following leadership direction from Beijing, Delhi, Seoul and indeed Tokyo. It’s also daunting for some people in senior positions who may have never run an international campaign from Asia before and who I've noticed may therefore suffer from a lack of confidence in leading their global charge from the East.

No Single “Capacity” Can Do It

Plato’s Phaedrus

The problem, he explains, is that one overcome with this desire will want to turn his boy into whatever is most pleasing to himself, rather than what is best for the boy.
