Giving newspapers a try
Article Abstract:
More non-traditional advertisers are starting to test newspapers as advertising venue, although automakers, financial services, retailers, telecoms and entertainment businesses are still the major advertisers on dailies. Among the non-traditional advertisers that are testing the effectiveness of newspaper ads include Lever Pond's Dove, which placed a series of ads in such publications as the Vancouver Sun, Montreal Gazette and Toronto Star. Alcohol and beer are also included in the list of products that are being marketed through newspapers.

TSO leapt on-strike marketing hurdle
Article Abstract:
The department of marketing of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra (TSO) bore the brunt of the strike staged by the TSO's musicians during fall 1999. Marketing director Michael Buckland and his staff estimated that their workload increased by 50%, due to the fact that they had to reassure patrons, subscribers and regular concert-goers. The marketing representatives of TSO doubled as customer representatives as they advised ticket holders of concert cancellations just a week in advance.
