all them mercenary, or Super, CMOs. They parachute in from company to company, from industry to industry, firing and hiring ad agencies
and staff. They make noise. They launch memorable ad campaigns.
Some become brands in and of themselves.
In the marketing world, this is a relatively new phenomenon, spawning a small,
elite class. Though there are thousands of companies in the U.S. and even more
brands, there are only a handful of CMOs who fit that description.
The short list, based on those who have been a top marketer at three major
brands and in more than one industry, would include the likes of John Costello,
who introduced the previously unknown “Softer Side of Sears,” then briefly went
to Yahoo! and is now running marketing at The Home Depot; Jim Garrity, who
spent 20 years at IBM before taking over marketing at Compaq and then First
Union, which became Wachovia; Steve Wilhite, who was behind the 1998 reintroduction of the Volkswagen Beetle, then went to Apple to help launch its iMac
before decamping to run marketing for Nissan; Janine Bousquette, who’s known
for reinvigorating Mountain Dew and Pepsi’s flagship brand before jumping

over to eToys and landing at Costello’s old
spot at Sears; Jerry Gramaglia, whose
resume includes top marketing jobs at Taco
Bell, Sprint and E*Trade; Russ Klein, currently CMO at Burger King, who also ran
marketing at 7-Eleven and, before that,
7 Up. Finally, there’s Joe Tripodi, who was
CMO at MasterCard, then Seagram &
Sons before overseeing marketing at Bank
of New York and now Allstate.
The archetype of the Super CMO is Sergio Zyman, the so-called “Aya-cola” of
Coca-Cola fame. Zyman, who joined Coke
in 1979, had a brilliant start, bowing both
Diet Coke and the “Coke is It” campaign
in 1982. But he also midwifed New Coke
in 1985 and, after that fiasco, left the company to work as a consultant at Microsoft,
Miller Brewing, General Mills and
McDonald’s. Zyman came back to Coke in
the ’90s, but left again in 1998 and now
runs the Zyman Group, which consults for
various companies, most notably ConAgra.
Prior to the ’90s it was unusual for
marketers, even the top ones, to move
around much in their careers. Spencer
Stuart, the Chicago-based recruitment
firm, reported that since 1999 more than
60% of its marketing candidates were
placed into a different industry than their
former position. That’s a big jump over
1994-98, when only 38% of marketing
execs transitioned to other industries.
In the past decade there was a convergence of trends that formed the super
CMO. Press attention, for one, including
the likes of Brandweek. A similar phenomenon happened on a grander scale with

John Costello is a prime example. A veteran of Procter & Gamble (where he
worked on Crest’s first Hispanic TV ads)
and Pepsi, Costello joined Sears as
evp/gm of the retailer’s marketing unit
in 1993, replacing Matthew Howard, a 31year Sears veteran. About six months after
joining Sears, Costello rolled an ad blitz
announcing “The softer side of Sears.”
The effort is remembered as one of the
top campaigns of the ’90s, but it may have
done more harm than good. “It was an
extremely successful campaign. It
brought in women,” said Kurt Barnard,
editor of the Upper Montclair, N.J.-based
Barnard’s Retail Report. “The problem was,
they were terribly disappointed.” The
retailer’s apparel just didn’t live up to the
hype, Barnard said. “Sears got a reputation as America’s dowdiest store. It drove
[women] away in droves.”
Barnard is quick to add that Costello
had nothing to do with Sears’ apparel and
that he considers him a brilliant marketer.
Yet in that instance, brilliant marketing
backfired. Who was to blame?
Harry Bernard, a partner at Colton
Bernard, a San Francisco-based apparel
consultancy, said neither Costello nor
then-CEO Arthur Martinez nor even
Robert Mettler, the man who headed
Sears’ apparel business at the time of
the “Softer Side” campaign, are
culpable. (Mettler is now running West
Coast operations for Federated and
declined comment.)
“Martinez came in, it became apparent he was going to have to fight and the
old culture won,” said Bernard. “They
have not found it easy or affordable in
their terms to really develop a serious fashion apparel business. The bottom line is
I don’t think they believed in it and
understood what had to be done.”
The issue continues. After considering
abandoning apparel in 2001, Sears is having another go of it with new-format stores.
In the mid-’90s, with Sears on the comeback trail, Costello became a hot property. “One thing Sears had in the wake of its
first turnaround was a rich field of experienced executives, and the headhunters
knew what they had done and where they
were,” wrote Martinez in his book, The
Hard Road to the Softer Side. But in the grand
scheme, Sears’ comeback didn’t last. “Sears

Jerry Gramaglia:
The Sportsman
While Bousquette managed to resist the
lure of “look at me” dot-com advertising,
Jerry Gramaglia built his career on advertising that was hard to ignore, especially
with E*Trade.
Gramaglia came to E*Trade in June
1998 after spending much of the decade
as head of marketing for Hardee’s, Taco
Bell and Sprint. At Taco Bell, Gramaglia
once set up a one-on-one basketball match
between Shaquille O’Neal and Hakeem
Olajuwon in Las Vegas. He showed a similar flair for big-bang events with E*Trade.
In particular, Gramaglia targeted the
Super Bowl. E*Trade sponsored the halftime show (pre-Janet Jackson) three years
in a row and ran ads during the game featuring a chimp, the E*Trade mascot.
The strategy worked in one respect:
E*Trade became one of the top online brokers. But after the dot-com bust, the
brand’s Super Bowl monkeyshines linked
it in some minds to the frothy likes of
Pets.com. As online stock trading cratered,
E*Trade moved into boring-yet-stable businesses like home mortgages and insurance.
In 2003, Pamela Kramer, who succeeded
Gramaglia as top marketer at the broker,
called for a more button-down approach.
“When online was hot, the message was the
right message,” she said of Gramaglia’s
approach. “We’re trying to match the message to where we are at the time.”
Jaime Punishill, principal analyst with
Forrester Research, Cambridge, Mass., said
E*Trade’s big mission now is to appeal to
an older investor. “They had wide appeal
to emerging investors, but they’re having
trouble getting entrenched investors to
hand over their money.”
Gramaglia, now at ArrowPath Venture
Capital, Menlo Park, Calif., said he delivered results, something on which CMOs
should be judged. “In my experience there
are two types of CMOs: those who know
how to make money and those who know
how to spend it,” he said. Indeed, Punishill

noted that although E*Trade was “certainly sassy” in Gramaglia’s time, the firm was
no more profligate than rivals like Charles
Schwab and Ameritrade. E*Trade’s ads
were more memorable than those rivals,
though, complicating efforts to redefine the
brand. One ad, which ran in 2000, was voted the No. 4 most memorable Super Bowl
ad of all time in a 2001 USA Today/CBS poll.
Jim Garrity:
The Explainer
As Gramaglia knows, marketers from
industries like technology and financial
services have to simplify their messaging
for the layman, and some do it better than
others. Jim Garrity is one such standout.
Garrity came from the tech side, putting
in 24 years at pre-Lou Gerstner IBM before
landing at Compaq in 1992. At the time
Compaq did little consumer advertising
and had a reputation for well-designed,
high-priced PCs. But Dell and Gateway
were flooding the market with cheaper
units, putting price pressure on everyone.
Garrity ran advertising for the firm as
it cut prices and went full bore for the
mass market. The first of many such
efforts lampooned the techno-babble that
often confronted new PC purchasers. The
ad was set in a classroom where adults
tried to master the jargon, repeating,
“Megabytes, Gigabytes,” and finally,
“Wysiwyg.” The wave of Compaq ads
during Garrity’s tenure there prominently featured women. Garrity also got
Compaq to drastically up its ad budget.
The spend more than doubled in his first
year at the firm (1993) and continued to
climb. Compaq would eventually be
bought by Hewlett-Packard in 2002.
Though First Union was a smaller
company in a different industry, there
were some parallels to Compaq where
Garrity landed in 1997. First Union was
committed to boosting its ad spending
and was looking for a simple, coherent
message. Early on, Garrity found a way
to make the somewhat arcane world of
financial services palatable to the masses:
by evoking the common denominator,
money. His first ads with the firm featured historic and modern currencies to
explain First Union’s various services.
In 2002, First Union merged with
Wachovia and Garrity emerged as the
lead marketer at the new company. Ensuing Wachovia ads again sought to simplify, this time using metaphors. One of
the first spots showed a couple in formal

depends on the individual.”
Not surprisingly, super CMOs like
Wilhite have a counter-argument to
qualms about the free-agent system:
“There’s a higher premium placed on performance. In my experience, people don’t
move unless they’re unhappy or they get
a better offer . . . People may have felt
trapped in the past.”
Wilhite compared the current situation
to a marriage where both partners are
aware that they can divorce. Knowing that
they’re staying because they choose to stay
makes all the difference, he said.
Joe Tripodi:
The General
Joe Tripodi, svp/CMO of Allstate, uses
a different metaphor to describe what he
does at his current position and at previous marketing jobs at Bank of New York,
Seagram and MasterCard. Tripodi likes
to draw a distinction between the “supply
station” at headquarters and the “front
line” where customer reps meet the public. While a cursory glance over Tripodi’s
resume might bring up a highlight reel
featuring his signing of soccer legend Pele
at MasterCard, his ushering of Captain
Morgan to TV at Seagram and a $75-100
million increase in marketing spending at
Allstate, Tripodi said the real hallmarks of
his career have been less noticeable.
At MasterCard, he helped roll out the
firm’s first global customer service center,
which assured that customers who lost
their cards on vacation could quickly get
an advance. At Allstate, he has introduced
new advertising, but he’d rather be
known for creating an integrated marketing communications unit. “One
Godzilla footprint is better than millions
of small ones,” he said.
Such a 360-degree approach is not
uncommon these days, but Tripodi said
he’s always put the brand experience
first before advertising. “A general philosophy I’ve carried has been that it needs
to be about a lot more than just advertising . . . the best work is going on in the
boiler room,” he said.
Though the marketers previously mentioned are hardly one-dimensional, like
brands, they tend to get pigeonholed. Mention Costello to other marketers, and they’re
likely to bring up “The Softer Side of Sears.”
Evoke Gramaglia’s name and most think
of E*Trade’s wacky Super Bowl ads.

magic and, in a way, the brand becomes
secondary to the marketer. So, it’s fair to
ask: Are these the best marketers for a particular job, or are they best at marketing
themselves? Ries noted that marketers who
manage to get a job at a high-profile company get noticed whether they’re good or
bad—and no matter how long they stay. On
the other hand, the trademarks that topped
Interbrand’s top 100 global brands list—
Coca-Cola, Microsoft, IBM, GE and
Intel—aren’t associated with a super CMO,
save for Garrity, who left IBM more than
a decade ago.
Jeff Swystun, global director at Interbrand, New York, said it’s probably better
to go with a mediocre marketer who is willing to put ample time in at a brand than
a hotshot who flees after a year. “Rapid
switching is not good for the brand and
not good for the company,” he said. “Anyone who’s in the role three years or less
doesn’t have time to absorb the nuances.”
Greg Welch of Spencer Stuart has a
solution: contracts. “Can you imagine how
different it would be if new marketers had
to sign a 60-month contract?” he asked.
On a grander scale, an argument
against star CMOs is an argument against
stars in general. As Martinez noted in The
Hard Road to the Softer Side, Young & Rubicam’s team came up with the “Softer Side”
campaign. Costello basically had the sense
to use the idea, but he did not create it.
As Ries noted, marketers get a halo effect
from being around a good team.
The fact is, individuals rarely create new
ideas on their own. In the history of philosophy, there were only three major
thinkers who appeared to do just that:
Taoist metaphysician Wang Ch’ung, Zen
mystic Bassui Tokusho and Arabic
philosopher Ibn Khaldun. All the
others came from various existing schools
and movements.
In that sense, a CMO may better be
considered a manager than a marketer. Creativity doesn’t even make the cut among
Spencer Stuart’s list of key CMO attributes. Instead, important traits include
adaptability, a thick skin and even a history of overcoming some type of adversity,
whether personal or professional.
Geoffrey Frost, CMO of Motorola and
formerly of Nike, argues that the X factor
for a star marketer has more to do with leadership than creativity. “Why are some
groups smarter than their smartest member
and others dumber than their dumbest?”
he asked. “You have to be smart enough
to know the limits of your own intelligence,
so you can magnetize that talent. It’s basic
stuff, but it’s hard to do.”

METHODOLOGY
A Look Behind the Numbers
T
he annual Superbrands report is presented in two parts. As in past years,
marketplace analysis by Brandweek
reporters and brand rankings in 25 categories
are based on 2003 sales. The Top 2000 list
(beginning on page 70) ranks full-year media
expenditures as tallied by TNS/CMR.
Consumer perceptions of brands from
Harris Interactive’s EquiTrend® study
round out the package. This year’s report
contains even more comprehensive diagnostic results for evaluating brand equity.
To begin, “Familiarity” replaces “Salience”
as a more sensitive measure of a consumer’s
ability to rate a brand. Respondents then
ranked brands with which they were “somewhat,” “very” or “extremely” familiar on
their propensity to purchase that brand to
better gauge its vitality in the marketplace.
“Purchase intent has a huge correlation to
actual use, said Deanna Wert, vp-brand
and reputation strategy at Harris.
A sample of 24,046 consumers age 15and-over were surveyed on 1,031 brands
using The Harris Poll (HPOL), a multimillion member online panel of respondents who have opted to take part in online
surveys. Interviewing was conducted from
April 23 to May 24; the survey took an average of 28 minutes to complete.
Each respondent was asked to rate a
total of 80 brands, including 20 core
brands (rated by the total sample) and 60
randomly selected ones. Each brand
received approximately 1,200 ratings.
Brands were randomized so names did
not always appear in the same order. The
20 core brands were used to calibrate the
data using Harris Interactive’s proprietary
bias correction (TRBC) to purify the goodwill measure and eliminate biases inherent
in the use of rating scales that can distort
results and make comparisons among subgroups misleading.
EquiTrend Study Key
Each brand was rated on the following criteria:
Quality, 0-10: The cornerstone of the EquiTrend brand measurement system is the measurement of perceived quality, where zero means “Unacceptable/poor,” 5 means “Quite acceptable” and 10 means “Outstanding/Extraordinary.” Respondents could rate a brand using any
number in that range, or indicate that they had absolutely no opinion and could not rate it.
Familiarity, 1-5: Respondents were asked to rate familiarity with each brand on a 1 to 5
scale, where 1 means they never heard of the brand, 2 means they just know of the brand,
3 means they are somewhat familiar, 4 means they are very familiar and 5 means they are
extremely familiar with the brand.
Purchase Intent, 0-10: Conceptualized as a measure of the extent to which a consumer intends to have a future relationship with a brand, respondents indicated their
answers using a 1-4 scale, where “1” means “never,” “2” means “not likely,” “3” means “possibly” and “4” means “absolutely” would purchase a product brand/watch a TV channel/show.
Equity, 0-100: A brand’s equity score is determined by a calculation of Familiarity, Quality
and Purchase Intent, as a way to further our understanding of a brand’s overall strength.
Brands that have high quality, are well known and score well on purchase intent, have greater
equity than brands that are not well known, have poor perceived quality or those brands
which consumers are not interested in purchasing. The actual equation is done by indexing
Familiarity and Purchase Intent; followed by weighting the Familiarity score*, which is then
multiplied by the mean of Quality and Purchase Intent, with the result indexed on 100.
(*Familiarity weights: 10 = 1; 7.75 = 0.9; 5.5 = 0.8)

Sales Struggle as Consumers
Don New ‘Fashion’ Accessories
By Sandra O’Loughlin
L
ast year’s sales figures suggest consumers were more interested in snatching up iPods and DVRs than cargo pants and
sweater sets. According to NPD Group, Port Washington,
N.Y., total apparel spending in 2003 declined 5.1% to $166.1 billion. Dollar sales of women’s wear declined 7.1% to $90.1 billion
and menswear sales fell 6.4% to $46.8 billion.
While national brands slipped from 30.4% to
29.4% of total women’s purchases, private label represented 41% of purchases, up from 39.3%. Designer
brands accounted for 4.7% of sales, down from 4.9%.
“The big story is: jeans have peaked,” said Marshal
Cohen, chief industry analyst at NPD. Sales of jeans
to females ages 13 and up slid 5.3% to $5.7 billion.
While Sara Lee, VF and Levi Strauss remained
in the top three slots with mostly flat sales, Liz Claiborne posted a 14% increase—jumping ahead of Jones
Apparel Group—thanks to its acquisitions of Enyce and Lady
Enyce, and brisk sales at its trendy Lucky brand and Mexx stores.
Current fashion trends are bright colors and flirty sundresses.
“Consumers priorities have shifted,” said Cohen, noting that women
are buying more casual merchandise while teens are more interested in the “right” cell phone. “The bad news is that tailored clothing
and dressier apparel isn’t doing as well as [designers] had hoped.”
Sales of women’s apparel so far this year, per NPD, are down
just 0.5% versus last, but dollar sales so far are off 5.5%.
Sara Lee is looking to globally expand its business with a brand
segmentation strategy under new management. Former evp-glob-

al marketing Lee Chaden became CEO of the branded apparel group
in May. Brenda Barnes, former president and CEO of PepsiCo will
become Sara Lee’s president and COO in July. Champion and
Just My Size are dubbed “strategic investment” brands slated
to receive boosts in marketing and R&D spending. Hanes and
Playtex, so-called “support and grow” brands, are expected to
generate sales of at least $100 million by fiscal 2007.
With a 15% first-quarter sales leap—thanks in part to its
burgeoning outdoor business which includes The North Face,
JanSport and Eastpak brands—VF is a strong candidate to buy
the Levi’s Dockers brand, currently on the block. VF’s Vassarette
this summer will launch RealSexy, a new sub-brand of valuepriced lingerie, backed by a $1 million push at Wal-Mart. A new
campaign for Wrangler Jeans Co., a denim-driven line targeting young adults with Dale Earnhardt Jr., is forthcoming. Lee
Riders has new creative on tap featuring realistic-sized models.
Levi’s new print ads, via BBH, New York, show real people
in black-and-white portraits with the theme, “A style for every
story.” TV ads in mid-summer will continue the message. The
new Levi Strauss Signature collection, intended for mass-market retailers, could provide a much-needed boost to its bottom
line. Since 1996, when the company raked in sales of $7.1 billion, Levi’s has been on a steady slide with little success gained
from a slew of new products and campaigns. The sale of Dockers and further cuts to its work force should help stem losses.
Elsewhere, Jones Apparel bowed a sportswear collection with
Claudia Schiffer in ads; Brooke Shields replaced Angie Harmon
in ads for its dressier Jones New York Collection; and Liz Claiborne
introduced Realities, a collection for the upscale woman.

ascension to Mercedes was blocked, leaving him without a job.
Volkswagen, with sales down nearly 9% last year and 27% so
far this year, is suffering from a bone-dry product pipeline. The
once reliable Passat and Jetta have endured quality problems, and
sales are way down. The New Beetle, too, is in a decline, convertible notwithstanding. Nor is VW’s luxury car Phaeton making any
waves in the U.S. market, despite strong reviews. Sales are off
15% this year, with only 625 of the cars delivered. In contrast,
BMW has sold over 5,500 of its 7-series cars and Mercedes over
5,700 S-Class cars. But VW has fared better in its foray into SUVs
with Touareg. Launched last fall with a self-effacing campaign,
Touareg has sold 9,429 units through April, surpassing at least
one competitor, BMW X5.
Bigger, however, suddenly doesn’t seem so much
better. Hummer was hot last year, selling 35,259
units, an 80% boost over 2002, driven by H2. But
if any brand embodies the notion of car-as-fad, it may
be Hummer. Whether it’s high gasoline prices, associated backlash from the war in Iraq or something
less tangible, sales are off 25% this year.
Less trendy is the surge of automaker involvement in movie product placement and TV branded content. Catching the wave of reality TV,
Ford has an ongoing exclusive sponsorship of Fox’s
24 and a similar arrangement with American Idol. Contestants
playing out mini-movie ads on Idol (for Focus and other
vehicles) were among the most memorable of the year. Ford
has gone as far as to develop an in-house product integration
think-tank called Alloy, an offshoot of the agency’s Brand
Entertainment Group.
Chrysler Group recently tied in with ClubMom to tout its
minivans, a deal which also got the vehicle on The Ellen Degeneres
Show and Regis and Kelly. Chrysler also struck a product integration deal on The Apprentice with its Crossfire, 300 and the PT
Cruiser convertible getting air time. Chrysler produced a multiepisode program for NBC called Jeep World of Adventure that let
Jeep and its agency, BBDO, Troy, Mich., call the creative shots.
It will run the shows through year-end.
Executive reshuffling also took center stage. General Motors
early this year began to streamline its sales, service and marketing departments. Currently, divisional general managers are supported by a marketing director, brand development director, retail
integration director and product directors. In an odd job title swap,
C.J. Fraleigh was named Buick-Pontiac-GMC general manager;
Gary Adams, who held that post, was named executive director
for corporate advertising and customer relationship management.

COMPUTERS
Microsoft Tries to Pare Apple;
B2B is the Place to Be, Again
By Scott Van Camp
I
t’s a great time to be in the PC business, as long as you’re
peddling products other than PCs. In other words, it’s good
to have the PC pedigree, but if you don’t diversify beyond
the low-margin items, you’re in trouble. Case in point: Apple
Computer, which makes more money off its iPods than its iMacs.
Apple’s not the only one. Even PC market leader
Dell has diversified, rolling out printers, peripherals, MP3 players and what seems to be the obligatory PC maker alternative product, the LCD
television. Why the flight from PCs? While the
top U.S. PC vendors have seen their units shipped
rise over 15% from 2002 to 2003, per research
firm IDC, Framingham, Mass., revenues are flat
because of price drops.
“If you look long-term, it’s a much more mature
category, and it’s very competitive with low margins,”
said NPD Intelect analyst Stephen Baker. “None of these companies are immune to that.” Consumer electronics is hardly an
oasis from price pressure, but it’s attractive to PC vendors because
the margins are higher and the manufacturing transition is easy;
many of the same PC parts suppliers can be utilized, said Baker.
In what could be a case of history repeating itself, Microsoft
is looking to usurp Apple’s lead. Microsoft is expected to launch
a marketing effort this fall touting its Windows XP operating system as a digital media and home entertainment enhancement,
said Matt Rosoff, analyst at research firm Directions on Microsoft,
Kirkland, Wash. Microsoft is also challenging Apple by fine tuning its digital rights management software for movies and music,
making it compatible with more devices and online services.
Elsewhere, the good news is that businesses are loosening
their IT purse strings, and ad spending in the category is on the
rise. After a downward spiral that began in 2001, IT ad spending was up 9% in 2003, at $2.4 billion, from $2.2 billion in 2002,
per TNS/CMR, and analysts expect that number to go up if tech
can keep the momentum going and if the economy continues
its forward march.
Four out of our five software players increased their media
spends in 2003. The fifth, Computer Associates, struggled with
accounting irregularities. Perennial leader Microsoft may have
lost some brand luster thanks to the growing threat of the Linux operating system, an antitrust fight with the European Union
and launch delays of its much-touted new operating system,
Longhorn (now scheduled for 2006), though product delays
are nothing new at Microsoft.
One software market that’s gaining appeal is security. Big players like Computer Associates and Hewlett-Packard have joined
category leaders Symantec, Network Associates and Trend Micro
in the security space. All have seen significant gains in the past
year and a half, thanks (or no thanks) to numerous virus and
worm outbreaks that have affected both business and consumers.
Don’t be surprised to see a security company break into the
Superbrands list in the near future. Microsoft, however, could spoil
the party by adding antivirus and firewall capabilities directly
into its operating system.

of the class,” said Beth Lerch, president of The B Company, a marketing communications firm specializing in music. “There were other sites out there already, but nobody made that huge consumer
impact, and iTunes came in and stole the stage.”
Now, a little over a year after Steve Jobs bowed his latest venture, over 100 legal music downloading sites exist worldwide,
among them eMusic.com, Musicmatch, Rhapsody, Limewire and
even that once-demonized downloader, Napster. And they’re having an impact: The burgeoning online music market sold more
than 25 million tracks from January to March 2004, per Nielsen
SoundScan, more than the number of tracks purchased over
the whole second half of 2003 (19.2 million).
In more passive media, artists and labels are looking for new
and novel ways to promote their tunes.
TV shows are using music to such a degree that it goes beyond
simple promotion; it’s a primary plot point in some cases. When
Geffen band Rooney, for example, made a guest appearance on
Fox teen drama The OC this season, the episode featured not just
song samples and amateur artist acting, but the show’s attractive
characters chattering about the band’s greatness, playing Rooney
CDs in their bedrooms and attending a much-ballyhooed concert.
NBC show Las Vegas did a similar deal with Maverick artist
Ben Jelen. An episode featured the singer gabbing with a character while soundchecking for a show at the casino, and his song

accompanied an emotional montage in which a character who
was shipping off to Iraq said goodbye to his friends. “It was a
heck of a placement and didn’t seem overly forced,” Lerch said.
“Kudos to the label for working that out.”
Network “album cards,” which list soundtrack info at a show’s
end, definitely drive viewers to the Web site to find out the names
of the songs, Lerch added, noting that such plugs generally create a two- to three-week sales bump for both new and established

FAST FOOD
Say Goodbye to ‘Super-Sizing’
But Hello to Real Profits
By Kenneth Hein
R
ight about this time last year, things looked grim for the
fast food giants. McDonald’s, Burger King and others
seemingly had no answer to shifting consumer tastes. One
look at the burger giants today, however, shows a sharply different picture. Thanks to feverish product innovation,
fresh advertising and a warm embrace of folks trying to live healthier lifestyles, the category has
rebounded.
Sales at the top 200 chains grew 5.5% to $158.3
billion last year, per Technomic, Chicago.
Category leader McDonald’s launched an adult
“Go Active” Happy Meal nationwide last month,
with a premium salad, bottled water, pedometer and
exercise booklet. The move followed a successful
pr push last year with Oprah Winfrey’s fitness guru,
Bob Greene, telling folks they can indulge at times so long as they
kept up with exercise and a balanced diet. Even kid’s Happy
Meals got healthier with sliced Apple Dippers.
All white-meat chicken nuggets, McGriddles breakfast items and
new Chicken Selects are keeping the registers ringing—even as
“super-sizing” was discontinued earlier this year amid a run of bad
press. McD’s saw record April sales, including double-digit growth
in the U.S. Of course, the ubiquitous “I’m Lovin’ It” effort from
assorted agencies has been hard to miss, with dozens of ads now in
rotation. In 2003, U.S. sales rose to $22.1 billion from $20.3 billion.
Burger King, which was on its way to being a poster child of
brand mismanagement, may have turned the corner. Earlier this
month, it promoted CFO John Chidsey to president. After 21 months
of shrinking sales, same-store results were up 4.4% this April. BK has
embraced a quirky ad strategy from new shop Crispin Porter +
Bogusky, Miami. It began with a revival of the chain’s “Have it
your way” tag in a series of spots, followed by a buzzworthy online
effort featuring a “Subservient Chicken” acting out visitor’s commands to help launch the Chicken TenderCrisp sandwich. Next up
were ads with imaginary fashion designer “Ugoff” for an entrée sal-
ad with a special pouch to keep shrimp, chicken or beef fillings hot.
A new Angus steak burger and a reformulated Whopper that
tastes more like the original round out BK’s menu options. The
offerings can only help as its 2003 sales were down for the second year in a row, dropping to $7.9 billion vs. $8.3 billion.
Wendy’s, meanwhile, may have found a TV pitchman to replace
its deceased founder Dave Thomas. Mr. Wendy, the chain’s “unofficial spokesman,” has touted salads at a house party thrown by
William Shatner, its Chicken Temptations sandwiches and its Super
Value menu. Wendy’s appears to be closing in on BK as 2003 sales
jumped by more than half a billion dollars to $7.4 billion.
Subway launched new ads, via Fallon, Minneapolis, only to cut
them short—and ultimately, fire the new agency—as consumers did
not get the joke. This summer, it will roll out toaster ovens to blow
a hole in the Quiznos Sub chain, which had been cruising along nicely. Quiznos hatched its own eyebrow-raising ad effort with anthropomorphic rodent-like “Spongemonkeys” this year via The Martin
Agency, Richmond, Va. But Subway can still have the last laugh:
its sales hit $5.7 billion, while Quiznos was up 43% to $818 million.
Pizza Hut, which had $5 billion in sales, hit upon one of pizza’s best innovations since the little discs that keep the box from
sticking to the cheese. Its 4forAll pies offer four square pies in one
box, enabling mom to have anchovies, dad to get pepperoni and
so on. Ads from BBDO, New York, featured pop tart Jessica Simpson, who showed up again to launch its Buffalo Chicken topping.
Meanwhile, chief competitor Domino’s Pizza filed for an initial public offering and is mulling new products, including a twolayer Doublemelt pizza. Domino’s, which posted $3 billion in
sales, plans on selling as much as $300 million in common stock.
KFC’s strategy has zigzagged since moving its account to FCB,
Chicago. It was criticized last year for portraying fried chicken
as healthy fare, but hopes it now has a stabilizing message with
its “Chicken Capital U.S.A.” campaign. KFC added an entire new
roasted chicken menu that it is pitching to younger health-conscious women. Competitor AFC Enterprises’ Popeyes Chicken
and Biscuits launched a $20 million effort in January, positioning itself as the choice for thrillseekers. Cramer-Krasselt, Chicago, handles. Tag: “Love that chicken at Popeyes” continues. B

Crowded Low-Carb Market
To Face New FDA Guidelines
By Sonia Reyes
Q
uick: how many low-carb products were introduced in
2003? The answer: about 633. Now, how many have
rolled out so far this year? That would be 1,051, per
research firm Mintel Group, Chicago. Before long, the next time
someone says there are “thousands” of low-carb products on
supermarket shelves, he or she won’t be kidding.
America last year officially became Low-Carb
Nation. As evidence, one could cite the tens of millions of individuals on the Atkins, South Beach or
some other high-protein diet. Or, one could note that
restaurants are serving Atkins-approved menus and
burgers without the buns; Krispy Kreme is planning low-sugar doughnuts; breakfast eaters are skipping orange juice; dieters are avoiding Slim-Fast;
and even Italians, perhaps, are eating less pasta.

For major food and beverage manufacturers, the trend that
began as a trickle in 2002 last year triggered a flood of reducedcarb comestibles: everything from pasta, bread and cereal to milk,
yogurt and condiments. With Heinz, Sara Lee, Kellogg, General Mills, ConAgra, Dannon and Kraft now all on board, trade
publication LowCarbiz projects sales of low-carb products will
reach $30 billion by year’s end.
Yet, too many products could spoil the low-carb party. “Now
that the big guys have joined the picture, I see a shakeout of smaller brands that have outlived their usefulness to retailers,” cautioned
Ken Harris, partner at Cannondale Associates, Wilton, Conn.
A key question regards consumer response to potential governmental changes. The Food and Drug Administration is expected to address carbohydrate and trans-fat labeling issues this year.
The FDA may set standards as to what constitutes “low-carb”
or “reduced-carb”—designations that marketers prominently display on-pack and in advertising efforts—as well as “net carbs,”

a term often used to signify only those carbs that hike up bloodsugar levels. The FDA is also releasing a new food pyramid in
2005, with changes expected to include a recommendation that
50% of daily carb intake be from whole grains.
Prior to his death last April, Dr. Robert Atkins built his legacy in the privately-held company he founded, New York-based
Atkins Nutritionals, which continues to expand with a spate of
new products, increased marketing budgets, new licensing agreements (Subway, TGI Friday’s) and widening retail distribution.
Sales of Atkins-branded products totaled $148 million in 2003,
up 225% from 2002, per Information Resources.
Last October, Boston investment group Parthenon Capital
and Goldman Sachs together purchased an 80% stake
in Atkins Nutritionals for $666 million. Parthenon
co-founder Ernest Jacquet said that the investors
are exploring the possibility of taking Atkins Nutritionals public late this year or in 2005.
At the same time, food companies have begun
seeking alternative alliances. Kraft earlier this
month agreed to promote some of its products
using the trademark of the South Beach Diet.
A noteworthy introduction in 2003 was Sara
Lee Delightful Breads, with nine carb grams per
slice. After five months on-shelf, Delightful is the best-selling
BRAND
brand in the Bakery Group and the ninth best-selling bread in
the country, per IRI sales data provided by Sara Lee. Even Heinz
resorted to a low-carb intro with One Carb Ketchup. Over in
the cereal aisle, marketers were slower to join the fray. For a while,
they focused on the hottest new addition: freeze-dried fruits.
Specifically, it was the year of the berry. Noting Kellogg’s runaway success with Special K with Red Berries in 2002—which rang
up $100 million in sales in its first year—General Mills rolled out
Berry Burst Cheerios in Strawberry and Triple Berry. Kraft studded Post Honey Bunches of Oats with strawberries, and Kellogg followed with its Fruit Harvest cereals in Apple and Berry SKUs.
By year’s end, cereal marketers figured they had the right
answer to low-carb products. General Mills was first out of the
gate in March with the launch of Total Protein. “Nearly 70% of
consumers are limiting their carb intake, but finding foods that
taste good and offer variety in their diets is challenging,” noted
Peggy Stang, marketing manager for Total Protein.
Kellogg fired back with low-carb Special K, with nine net
carbs per serving trumpeted on-pack, as well as a campaign via
Leo Burnett, Chicago. No. 2 cereal player Kraft is bowing several products behind its CarbWell brand, including cereals, cereal bars and salad dressings. Kraft Post will launch two low-carb
cereals this month, just as Quaker Oats bows its Q-Smart brand
of low-carb and zero trans-fat bars and other items.

The Atkins backlash, meanwhile, is well underway. The U.S.
Potato Board launched a $1.8 million national print effort in January that touted the nutritional benefits of potatoes. Linda
McCashion, a board rep, said her research showed that after six
months, “consumers have an improved awareness of potatoes’
benefits, which hopefully will eventually translate into sales.”
Trying to put some starch in their message, more than 150 pasta manufacturers convened in Rome earlier this year to develop
a counterattack to Atkins. Barilla, the leading pasta maker, said
it has no plans to introduce a low-carb pasta. American Italian
Pasta rolled such a line in February.
Weight-loss products also suffered from the Atkins effect. In
its first major marketing push since being acquired by Unilever
in 2000, Slim-Fast launched Savory Meal Options, a low-cal
microwaveable line of pastas and soups that Whoopi Goldberg is
currently touting in national TV ads, via Grey, New York.
Soy, meanwhile, showed no signs of abating. Big G launched
its soy-based SmartStart cereal, while White Wave stepped up marketing behind Silk. Ads via Arnold, Boston, showed consumers
how Silk can blend with any lifestyle. Silk sales last year jumped
21.4% to $231 million, per IRI, while soy milk sales overall were
up 18.6% to $307.9 million for the year ending Dec. 28.

money-back guarantee for six months. Heinz also heeded the convenience call last year with an innovative packaging format for
its new EZ Marinader in a pouch, which cuts back prep time via
a marinade bag that holds up to three pounds of meat.
Going forward, obesity should remain a hot-button issue.
Frito-Lay preempted other snack marketers last year in phasing
out trans-fats in its chips; it also made its first foray into the natural/organic segment with a seven-SKU Naturals line of lowfat and low-sodium chips. Tostitos were made with organic blue
and yellow corn, and Ruffles came with reduced fat.
Kraft, however, recently scrapped last year’s plans to cut portion sizes. Research showed consumers prefer to have
the choice of whether to go with smaller portions,
the company said. Kraft will offer a broad range
of portion-size packages, including snacks in small
packages such as its new Nabisco 100-Calorie Packs.
For their part, nutritionists remained cautious
about low-carb diets. Said Ruth Lahmayer, a registered dietician based in La Crosse, Wis., “I applaud
marketers for rolling out so many food options
addressing wellness, but I think some consumers are
looking for a quick fix to their weight problems.”

use. Others include S.C. Johnson’s Scrubbing Bubbles Fresh Brush,
with a flushable brush attachment; and Clorox’s Toilet Wand, which
attaches to a flushable pre-treated round sponge.
Marketers seeking to phase out old-fashioned brushes was a
likely step, considering that manufacturers are seeking more highmargin answers to domestic dilemmas, à la those spiffy floorcleaning systems, which collectively have racked up nearly $1 billion in sales.
The other subcategory just starting to pop is “preventables”—as in cleaners that prolong cleanliness. Among the first
out of the gate last year was a liquid toilet bowl/bathroom
cleaner with a novel stain-fighting agent: Clorox Bathroom
Cleaner with Teflon Surface Protector was developed with
DuPont; together with a spray version, the product is designed
to “keep the bathroom clean longer,” by repelling dirt and
stains, per materials.
Another Clorox entry, Tilex Mildew Root Penetrater and
Remover, also works to prevent mishaps, as it can penetrate grout
and tile and attack stains below the surface.
With so many new body washes and liquid hand soaps in the
personal care arena, sales of bar soaps continued to decline. Dollar sales of deodorant bar soap fell 14% last year, per Information
Resources, with sales for non-deodorant bar soaps flat. Manufacturers bear some of the blame here, however, since there’s been
little innovation in bar soaps save for Unilever’s Dove brand.

stronger or better cleaners, but instead were more convenient, or faster to use—and definitely better smelling.
Yes, innovation had run dry on many fronts, save for those
no-fuss $30 mops like Procter & Gamble’s Swiffer
and pre-treated disposable wipes. The latest developments in household cleaning are disposable
cleaners, and a now handful of products to help
avoid messes in the first place. What better way
for consumers to play along with the spate of home
makeover TV shows now blanketing the airwaves?
While all manner of brands have promoted
their wares via product placement in movies and
on TV, viewers of Bravo’s popular makeover show
Queer Eye for the Straight Guy recently saw an episode
where grooming guru Kyan Douglas took time out from his
usual musings about clean nails and trimming nose hair to
discuss the virtues of a sanitary bathroom. Presto! A plug was
born for Reckitt Benckiser’s new Lysol Ready Brush, Lysol Sanitizing Wipes and Glass Plus Wipes.
The Lysol toilet bowl brush, at $15 for the starter kit, comes
with disposable (but not flushable) brushes and a replaceable can
of foaming cleaner. It is the priciest of three new disposable brush

PHARMACEUTICAL / OVER THE COUNTER
‘Purple Pill’ on Counters
No Source of Indigestion
By Christine Bittar
T
he market for allergy/cold and stomach remedies has been
growing since two blockbuster drugs went over the counter: Schering-Plough’s allergy medication Claritin (in 2002)
and AstraZeneca’s acid reflux pill Prilosec (last year). At the same
time, the switches do not appear to be significantly
cutting into sales of rival OTC brands.
Consider the effect of Prilosec on the antacid category. The medicine consumers remember in DTC
ads as “purple pill” has been repackaged in a purple
box for OTC sale, and Procter & Gamble expects
to exceed initial projections for first-year sales of $200400 million. Johnson & Johnson’s Pepcid antacid
tablets were down 5% last year to $81 million, but
sales for its newer Pepcid Complete SKU were up 13%
to $47 million. Zantac took the category’s biggest hit,
with sales down 10% to $76 million. Sales for the entire tablet antacid
category, however, were up 5% last year to $1.4 billion.
Similarly, with the introduction of Claritin to OTC and the
launch of Wyeth’s Alavert in 2002, sales in the cold, allergy and
sinus category were up 37% to $1.8 billion. Claritin, Claritin-D and
Claritin Reditabs have all seen exponential sales increases. The only
product to show a sales decline in the allergy category—at less than
3%—was Pfizer’s Benadryl. The introduction of loratadine (the
chemical name for Claritin) hasn’t been a serious detriment to
Benadryl, in part because of its reputation as an effective treatment for anything from food allergies to a bee sting.
Elsewhere, private label brands dominated the over-the-counter arena, with sales increases in the allergy category (up 26%),
antacids (2.4%) and laxatives (up 18%). The whole gastrointestinal/tablet category was up 4.5% to $1.4 billion.
In analgesics, J&J/McNeil is in the process of another repositioning for Tylenol. The effort began earlier this year with an
ad campaign via Deutsch, New York, replacing long-time agency
Saatchi & Saatchi on the $115 million account.
Last year, Tylenol’s “Take comfort in our strength” campaign
had been replaced with the tag,“Because not playing is not an
option,” an attempt to lure active baby boomers with a somewhat hipper-sounding message.
The current push relies on safety, using a medical alert theme
with PSA-style TV ads to mimic the look of breaking news. J&J
marketers are playing up Tylenol as a more benign, “safer” option
to other OTC pain killers with fewer potential prescription drug
interactions than, say, ibuprofen. Tylenol’s TV and print ads
directly mention Bayer’s Aleve, the preferred medication for
arthritis sufferers. Tylenol Arthritis was down 4% to $53 million
in 2003, while Aleve was up 5% to $151 million.
While sales rose 7.4% for Tylenol liquid and 1% for Tylenol
PM, the Tylenol base brand’s sales were down 10% to $300 million last year. The $2.2 billion internal analgesics category, meanwhile, remained essentially flat.

PHARMACEUTICAL/PRESCRIPTION DRUGS
Drug Sales, Spending Rise;
Statins May Hit Stores Next
By Christine Bittar
I
n Superbrands, we often discuss the impact of prescription
drugs switching to over-the-counter status only in the context of the latter category. But drug companies increasingly
must deal with the fact that the trend causes a marketing interplay between the two segments.
First, the news: Cholesterol-fighting statins are the latest class
of drugs likely to make the OTC move, with two of Merck’s cholesterol drugs, Mevacor and Zocor, potentially becoming available in U.S. drugstores by 2006. (Note: Zocor is going OTC in
the U.K. soon, while Mevacor is available as a generic in the U.S.,
since it’s off patent.)
Merck has pushed the OTC issue with the FDA in years past,
but with little luck. Over the next year, however, the FDA may
be more receptive to the switch because of the increased threat
of cholesterol and heart disease in this country.
If successful, the cholesterol transition would set up a broader marketing battle, akin to the one now being fought among
allergy and stomach medication brands. In the allergy arena,
for example, consumer ads for Aventis’ Allegra not only compare the drug to its prescription rivals (including Pfizer’s
Zyrtec) but also to OTC options such as Claritin and even Pfizer’s Benadryl. Similarly, AstraZeneca’s prescription-strength
stomach drug Prilosec (marketed over the counter by Procter
& Gamble) and J&J/McNeil’s Pepcid have engaged in a volley
of comparative TV ads since the former became available without a prescription late last year.
Following a drug patent expiration, obtaining OTC approval
can be advantageous for pharmaceutical marketers as they seek
to undercut generic marketers’ prices. Zocor is patent protected until 2006, but nonetheless faces a huge amount of competition from recently approved cholesterol drugs such as
AstraZeneca’s Crestor and Schering Plough’s Zetia.
The other big story in 2003 was the significant spike in directto-consumer ad spending. Drug companies increased media outlays by 24% last year to $3.23 billion, following a drop from $2.76

LOCATION
billion in 2001 to $2.6 billion in 2002. Competition between prescription/OTC categories and a rush of me-too products—in areas
such as erectile dysfunction—were among the chief reasons for
the turnaround.
Drug sales, too, were up last year. Sales of prescription drugs
in the U.S. increased 11.5% to $216.4 billion in 2003, per IMS
Health, Fairfield, Conn.
To challenge Pfizer’s Viagra, Levitra (jointly marketed by Bayer and GlaxoSmithKline) arrived in
August, while Eli Lilly’s Cialis was approved for sale
domestically in January. Levitra touts itself as fastacting, a point made in ads starring former football
coach Mike Ditka. It has since taken a gentler tack
with ads featuring a woman talking about her mate
taking Levitra. Cialis, meanwhile, used a romantic
couple facing a sunset to promote its long-lasting
attribute. The erectile dysfunction segment is expected to generate at least $300 million in media spending
in 2004.
Other new drug entries last year included Eli Lilly’s Strattera, a non-stimulating medication for attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD), and a growing number of competitors to Allergan’s Botox in the cosmetic pharmaceutical category. Drug and biotech companies have invested considerable
resources into dermatology products such as wrinkle fillers. Many
doctors are using Botox and wrinkle fillers together as a dual
therapy for lines. Two fillers that recently arrived in the U.S. market are Inamed’s Hylaform and Q-Med’s Restylane.
Because physicians are required to administer the cosmetic
procedure rather than write a patient prescription, the first line
of marketing for these products is often targeted at doctors.
Inamed, for example, is using price to get doctors to stock
Hylaform. With DTC ads likely in the mix down the road,
Inamed evp Hani Zeini said that phase one of the Hylaform
launch includes an introductory promotion in which the perpatient cost of the drug to doctors—in addition to the company’s collagen products—will be the same as the equivalent
amount of Q-Med’s wrinkle filler only.

TELECOMMUNICATIONS
My Phone: (a) Takes Pictures,
(b) Web Surfs, (c) Networks
By Todd Wasserman
P
rices in the wireless industry will continue to decline while
ad spending will rise, leading to more churn, all of which
means lower profits. Who was the naysayer behind this
gloomy forecast? AT&T Wireless, in its 2003 annual report.
AT&T had reason to be glum. By year’s end, it was growing
more slowly than its rivals after keeping its ad/promotional spend steady at $876 million. If not for
its GoPhone service, which targets users with bad
or no credit, like teens, the company would have
lost subscribers. Thanks to Local Number Portability, an FCC ruling that let users keep their cell
phone numbers when they switch subscribers, and
hitches in updating its network, the company was
predicting more churn this year.
Luckily for management, Cingular Wireless—a
joint venture between SBC and BellSouth—is buying
AT&T Wireless for $41 billion. That will make Cingular the top
dog in the category, but it will have several comers, including
Verizon Wireless, quickly nipping at its heels. AT&T ironically
has floated the idea of re-entering the market using a service resold by other carriers called AT&T Wireless.
AT&T Wireless was hit especially hard over the last year. A
software glitch in the fourth quarter cost it about $100 million
and the brand, which has a bad customer service reputation, never found a winning ad strategy. After dumping the mLife theme
devised by Ogilvy & Mather, New York, AT&T tried a campaign
from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, San Francisco, reminiscent
of its former parent’s “Reach out” ads of the ’80s. By April, AT&T
dumped Goodby and now the brand is in a holding pattern until
the acquisition is completed.
But AT&T is merely the weakest of the herd. Everyone else
is experiencing the same pressures, which is good news, at least
in the near-term, for the ad agencies, promo firms and media buyers that work wireless accounts. Verizon Wireless, for instance,
told shareholders the rabid competition—it counts five rivals in

nearly every market—could prompt it to spend even more on
ads. Nextel, which has successfully defended its high-end niche,
boosted its 2003 spend by $102 million after launching a splashy
campaign from TBWA\Chiat\Day, New York, and inking an estimated $40 million deal with Nascar to be title sponsor of its racing series (previously the Winston Cup series) for the next decade.
Chris Ambrosio, an analyst with Strategy Analytics, Boston,
expects the combined Cingular/AT&T to spur more ad spending
from rivals, especially Sprint PCS and Verizon. “I think spending’s going to be up for the next six to eight quarters,” he said.
All the major players, save AT&T Wireless, are upping the ante,
though growth overall is not what it used to be. There are 160 million people with wireless phones in a country of 250 million. By
industry standards, though, that 90 million is not the cream of
the crop. Many are too young, too old or credit-challenged. “People who wanted [wireless phones] got them,” said Jeffrey Kagan,
an Atlanta-based telecom analyst, “but there are new users. Kids
grow up and people decide prices have come down enough.”
So while wireless firms are going after teens with new products
or sub-brands (Virgin Mobile and Boost Mobile from Sprint PCS
and Nextel, respectively), they’re also conspiring to keep the average rate per user steady. Text messaging and other bells and whistles like video and Web surfing (aka Wi-Fi) abound, not to mention the new fad of using wireless phones to arrange on-the-fly gettogethers. Though telecoms have spent little advertising Wi-Fi (versus chipmaker Intel, which has put about $300 million in ads behind
its Centrino Wi-Fi technology), all are staking claims in the Wi-Fi
arena. T-Mobile has been the most aggressive, with about 5,000
Wi-Fi spots in Borders, Kinko’s and other retail locales. Yet, as
consumers rely more on wireless, the price of minutes keeps falling.
Kagan, however, expects the relentless one-upmanship to end
as a free-for-all ensues between telecoms and cable firms over integrated voice and data services like Voice-Over-IP, a method of placing cheap calls over the Internet. The changes may also revive longdistance firms like AT&T and MCI that have been sidelined in the
wireless revolution. “The era of selling telephones with big buckets
of minutes and catchy differentiators is over,” he said.

Consumption Down Slightly
As Price Gap Narrows
ure is hard to determine, because many mom-and-pop manufacturers, importers and illicit retailers do not report their sales.)
On the whole, cigarette consumption was down slightly in
2003. Consumers either quit, died or smoked less as smoking
bans in public places contributed to a .05% drop last year, to
371.4 billion units, per Herzog’s numbers.
Ironically, manufacturers themselves may have contributed to
the decline. Their anti-smoking initiatives (the only
TV advertising they are permitted) urged parents
to talk to their children about the dangers of smoking. Campaigns like those of Philip Morris are meant
as a counterweight to the anti-tobacco marketing
messages put forth by the American Legacy Foundation. PM is also looking to clean up its act as it
bids to have the Food and Drug Administration oversee the industry. FDA certification for lower-risk
products—a potential growth market—might add a
layer of credibility rather than a manufacturer’s stamp
of approval.
Conversely, the smokeless category grew 5.7% last year, per
ACNielsen. The 26.6% jump in price-value brands foreshadows
that premium smokeless manufacturers, like U.S. Smokeless
Tobacco, Swedish Match and Conwood, could face the same
deep discount scenario their cigarette brethren have endured.
Thanks to rising sales taxes, the roll-your-own (papers) and
make-your-own (tubes and injector machines) sectors also grew
to 3.5% of the cigarette category, from less than 1% five years ago.
This niche could climb higher as more than a dozen states consider tobacco tax increases this year. Better products would do
the trick as well; a clever inventor could top tobacco injectors with
a cotton gin breakthrough that makes manufacturing a carton of
your own smokes as easy as dumping loose tobacco into a drum,
plugging in your own personal cigarette maker and walking away.
This year could also see Philip Morris face a stronger No. 2
competitor, if the merger of R.J. Reynolds Tobacco and Brown
& Williamson is approved by the Federal Trade Commission.
Reynolds American would boast $10 billion in annual sales and
32% market share, compared with PM’s 50%.

heap smokes are here to stay, but last year their growth
rate finally slowed because the big boys, Philip Morris
USA in particular, narrowed the price gap between its
premium brands and the deep discounters.
The chief reason? PM, partly in response to a lawsuit filed
by wholesalers alleging antitrust violations, changed its retail and
wholesale Leaders programs, which have rewarded participants
that fulfill shelf display, signage and market share requirements
with cash bonuses and discounts. Store operators who signed
the old PM contract had the satisfaction of knowing they could
sell No. 1 Marlboro cheaper, yet at a better margin, than competitors who were not in the merchandising program.
The tobacco giant’s new program lowered wholesale prices
and made cheaper Marlboros available to all store operators, not
just those under contract. Bonuses and discounts also were cut,
and other manufacturers eventually reduced their incentives.
“I miss the days when the reps came in and bullied us,” said
a Florida retailer, referring to a time when cigarette salespeople
would check contract compliance, and rip down competitors’
signs and fixtures. She is adding novelty items to her tobacco
outlets to help make up lost contract money. “I was scared then,
but I was more profitable,” she said.
Enabling all retailers to reap the benefit of the program helped
PM narrow the price gap with deep discount cigarettes. By year’s
end, the average discount price was 47% less than the average
premium smoke, compared with 73% during 2001, according
to Bonnie Herzog, an analyst with Smith Barney, New York. Other factors contributed to closing the difference, like better enforcement by states to collect escrow fees which raised the cost of making cigarettes for small suppliers. Obviously, the fiscal interests
of state governments are tied to the Big Six signatories of the
Master Settlement Agreement maintaining their market shares.
Still, market share for deep discount smokes, aka fourth-tier
brands, jumped to 10% last year compared with the 2% that existed before the MSA, according to various estimates. (An exact fig-

several Web sites, are gaining popularity among consumers who
have little brand loyalty. That behavior creates a problem for
brands that want consumers to buy from them directly.
Hotels, for example, are attempting to eliminate price inconsistency within their chains by offering best-rate guarantees on
their Web sites. InterContinental Group, which includes Holiday Inn and Crowne Plaza hotels, has gone so far as to require
franchisees to sell rooms through online distributors that comply with the company’s criteria for clear presentation of room
charges and reliable booking.
Expedia svp Barney Harford notes that 90% of the Web site’s
hotel revenue last year came from new customers who otherwise
might have never come to the hotel brand. “We’re not booking
repeat hotel customers,” he said. “We want hotels to
turn our new customers into their repeat customers.”
Third-party endorsement is also influencing travel choices. CruiseCritic.com, SmarterLiving.com and
other sites that provide unbiased reviews are emerging as a new channel in which brands may connect
with consumers. Royal Caribbean not only buys banner ads on CruiseCritic, but also has hosted on-board
parties for groups of Web posters who met on the
site’s chat rooms. IgoUgo.com started with about 100
close friends posting journals about their trips. Then they
told their families and friends to read and write. Four years later,
more than a million visitors log on to IgoUgo each month to check
out travel journals covering more than 4,000 destinations.
Recognizing the power of word of mouth, Cendant’s RCI timeshare brand has replicated the branded IgoUgo platform on its
site and has had guests write journals about their trips, displaying
reviews, good and bad, about journeys that involved the brand.
BRAND
“There is no better way to sell travel than through the eyes
of someone just like you who has been there,” said Jim Donnelly,
IgoUgo’s co-founder and president.
Suppliers better start establishing brand loyalty now because
Gen X consumers eventually will dominate the travel market.
Under-30 consumers, in particular, perceive a lack of differentiation among travel products and are less likely to be brand loyal or belong to a supplier loyalty program, said Henry Harteveldt,
vp-travel research for Forrester Research, Cambridge, Mass. They
are more apt to trust an intermediary, such as a travel agent or
Web site, for comparing choices and finding value.
“You have to have a product and image that is relevant to them
because suppliers are a commodity,” said Harteveldt.
Despite high gas prices, the car rental sector is headed into its best
summer since 2001. Solid bookings prompted sister brands Avis and
Budget to be the first to raise rates, effective July 1. Gas prices have
had little impact on the more expensive rentals of SUVs and minivans. Vacationers traveling more than 500 miles by car will pay $10
to $20 more for fuel than they did last summer, per PriceWaterhouseCoopers. That’s not enough reason to stay at home.
Avis Rent A Car continued its “What if we didn’t try harder?” campaign by pursuing niches like families with latch-secured
child safety seats and disabled drivers with specially equipped
vehicles, demonstrating that it makes the extra effort to provide
for travelers needs.
“TV is the centerpiece of our media, but we already have
awareness through the roof,” said Scott Deaver, Avis’ evpmarketing. “We really need to reach a narrow market of people who rent cars with a fairly complex message and really
thoughtful reasons on why Avis is their best choice, and why
Avis is a premium brand.”

WORLD WIDE WEB
Web Players: Let’s Get This
Party Started (Again)
By Catharine P.Taylor
W
hen it comes to ad spending for the top 10 Web brands,
the disparity is as vast as the gulf between About.com,
which offers expertise on a wide variety of topics, and
America Online, the Time Warner unit that runs not only the
biggest ISP, but also a myriad of Web domains.
About.com, owned by Primedia, spent a grand total of
$210,000 in mainstream and Internet media during 2003, while
AOL, which stuck with a strategy of high-profile media buys
for much of the year, spent more than $230 million, including
roughly $10 million online, according to TNS/CMR.
True, AOL got about 60% more traffic in December 2003,
with 68.9 million unique viewers, per Nielsen//NetRatings, but
that in no way explains why AOL would outspend About by a
factor in excess of 1,000.
To Lanny Baker, a research analyst at Smith Barney, the disparity is indicative of one overarching Web trend: “The big are
getting bigger,” he said. And the big are also getting better at monetizing their big audiences. That means investing in advertising is
now crucial in a way the attention-grabbing, stop-by-my-site strategy of the dot-com heyday wasn’t. Eyeballs now mean money.
The best place to look for evidence may well be eBay, which
increased its budget from $92.8 million in 2002 (including interactive media, which TNS/CMR breaks out separately), to $186.4
million in 2003. Its traditional budget swelled from $51.6 million
to $84.6 million to accompany its first ad campaign in November 2002 and continued above-the-line efforts into 2003 with
over-the-top ads using “Do It eBay,” as the central theme.
Underneath the hood of the theme line, however, the San Josebased company ran information-rich print ads detailing “things to
know when you do it eBay,” along with a spot for its vast car sales
operation, eBay Motors. It’s certainly not necessary to tell consumers about the brand’s existence, but as is now the case with many
innovators, educating users about the increasing depth of services
is key. “If Yahoo! has revamped its Yahoo! Personals, it’s going to
get on the horn and let people know about it,” Baker said.
BRAND
COMPANY NAME,
LOCATION
At eBay, the message is getting through: The number of active
users on the site was up 45% compared to a year ago, based on
first-quarter results, while eBay Motors now accounts for about $8.7
billion in gross merchandise sales annually.
AOL, which ratcheted up its mainstream ad budget from $152
million in 2002 to $220 million in 2003, wasn’t using the ads to
support a juggernaut of revenue; unlike eBay, which had its usual mother lode of positive pr, most of the headlines
surrounding AOL were negative. However, there
are now signs that the mammoth ISP is turning the
corner, with messaging tilted to specific aspects of
the service, such as AOL Broadband exclusive concerts and security features.
But as Web brands continue to mature, it’s clear
there are more ways to market a brand than to merely pump up the budget and talk about new features.
Both AOL and MSN saw strategic marketing shifts
in the last year. AOL, following the departure of evp-brand marketing Len Short in February, changed its focus from high-profile
marketing to selling multiple à la carte products as its dial-up subscriber base continued its decline from 26.2 million in Q1 2003 to
24 million during this year’s first quarter. After launching dial-up
MSN8 in 2002, the Microsoft ISP put more attention in 2003 on
its broadband-enthusiast focused MSN Premium.
Yahoo! looked to reclaim its search heritage by doing a campaign solely focused on that service, no doubt feeling the heat from
Google. “Yahoo is a player in search, but the search wars are heating up,” noted Jupiter Research associate analyst Nate Elliott.
But that did not mean a mainstream budget increase. Yahoo!
spending dipped from $42.1 million to $38.9 million in 2003.
Which gets us back to the microscopic budget of About.com.
Considered a solid player, the site is part of Primedia’s Enthusiast Media segment, which showed a paltry 0.5% gain in revenue.
Not exactly the stuff of which big ad budget increases are made.
Still, the site launched a redesign in April, “punching up the brand
on every single page,” said Elliott. That may not cause media buying shops to jump, but it’s marketing nonetheless.
