In the face of continual competition across a variety of media sources, the future of USA Today depends on its ability to continually push the envelope of innovation and offer value-added, proprietary content to ensure continued differentiation and the future of the USA Today brand. Themes: Product strategy, innovation, target marketing, distribution strategy, changing technology, changing sociocultural patterns, customer relationships, competition, differentiation, strategic focus, SWOT analysis Case Summary USA Today is the most successful and highly visible newspaper that students have seen and read on a national basis. The case provides an overview of Gannett's strategic marketing approach to launching and growing this unique newspaper. When USA Today debuted in 1982, it achieved rapid success due to its innovative format. No other media source had considered a national newspaper written in shorter pieces than a traditional paper and sprinkled with eye-catching, colorful photos, graphs, and charts. Designed to address the needs of a sound-byte generation, readers found USA Today’s content refreshing and more engaging than other papers. Circulation grew rapidly from roughly 350,000 in 1982 to approximately 5.9 million daily print and online readers today (1.8 million in daily circulation).

...white collar workers (USA Today’s target group) • Continued growth in social media outlets • Continued growth in new technologies Weaknesses • Unable to get paid online subscribers, like Wall Street Journal • High fixed costs • Weak profit margins Threats • Online advertising competitors, such as Google. • Decrease in sales, readership and ad revenue in print industry, due to digital trend • Large number of competitors (print and online) 1) What opportunities in the marketing environment did Gannett seize in launching USA Today? How did the company learn about and respond to the opportunities? Answer these same questions for USATODAY.COM. One of the opportunities that Gannett Co., Inc. noticed in the marketing environment that led to the launch of USA Today was a void in the newspaper market that targeted Middle America. The New York Times targeted those defined as the “nation’s intellectual elite” and The Wall Street Journal focused its effects towards business leaders. Through research, Gannett learned that the paper should target “achievement-oriented men in professional and managerial positions who were heavy newspaper readers and frequent travelers.” Gannett decided to act upon two trends in the reading public, in which there was a declining attention span in reading for a generation that had grown/ was growing up with television, as well as people’s growing desire to have more information at their disposal. Keeping these perspectives in mind, Gannett wanted...

...NEW GREEN September 19, 2015 Dr. James Case I USA Today K90000787 1 Case 1- USA Today Kimberley Hutchinson K90000787 INTERNAL ENVIRONMENT Current Marketing Objectives, Strategy and Performance Gannett Co., Inc. began USA Today in 1982 by filling a gap in the newspaper industry. Gannett wanted their paper to provide more news about more subjects in a short time frame. The two trends they took advantage of were catering to adults who had short attention spans and who were nurtured on television. These consumers wanted different information from their newspapers. The readers wanted quick, clear, fact-filled stories that were arranged with subheads, breakouts, informational graphics and that were easy to read. This is what Gannett delivered with USA Today. While the readers’ wants have differed over the years, the paper has kept up. In 1994, the paper upgraded to cover more serious topics and added reader-opinion polls and hot-line numbers. The readers were able to call the lines to obtain additional information on topics they were interested in. In 1995, there was a lull in readership; they began to see the need for more technological data required by consumers. USAToday.com was born and met that need. USA Today and USAToday.com have 5.3 million daily readers with $1.8 million paid subscriptions. Today, USA Today has the largest print circulation with over 1.8 million copies daily and 3.2 million daily readers. They also have the highest volume...

...Future Trends in Advertising Paper When it comes to advertising there are key factors that play a role in how the process can be affected. Within this paper there will be three key factors that will affect advertising in the years to come. The three key factors are: innovation, internet, and regulatory. Each of these key factors are continually changing and growing on a daily basis. Looking into how these factors play a role in advertising will give a better understanding of the changes are affecting or can affect advertising. Innovation will always be a factor to look at because of the fact the innovation is constantly growing and making products better (Sissors, 2012). Who could forget sitting there listening to a commercial and in the commercial the words new and innovated are involved. Innovation is basically taking a product and it growing to meet the standards of the consumer. The product is growing and changing. If one were to look at that product they would see that it may have a higher speed for browsing or in some other area be faster, the design may be sleeker than it previously was, or it may hold more capabilities. All the changes are coming more quickly and it can be difficult to keep up, especially with budgeting. A company only budgets so much money for advertising and if the products are rolling out more quickly yet the budget has not grown then there will be no way to advertise as much as needed. There will be times when innovation can help in advertising...

The ongoing academic debate has pointed out the tension between standardization and localization practices (e.g. Whatley, 2012). While the benefits frequently associated with the standardization practice revolve around the promotion of a single consistent message to the global market (Aaker, 1991), the localization paradigm emphasises the particular differences between individual markets and thereby the need to adapt marketing strategies to suit the needs of the local population (Gillespie, Jeanner & Hennessey, 2010). The aim of the presented paper is to critically investigate the promotion and branding strategies pursued by global organisations. The key focus is put on the examination of their relative effectiveness and two case studies are used to demonstrate the validity of the theoretical underpinning. Nike Inc., a...

...USA Today: Case Analysis 1Research and update the case information as much as possible with current research, and then conduct a comprehensive SWOT analysis for USA Today. Since its 1982 debut, the American newspaper USA Today has had a major impact on the North American Newspaper industry. It has been an immensely successful experiment, a trend - setting hybrid of print and television journalism which in less than 10 years was able to boast a daily readership of 6.6 million. With its effective use of bright colors, high – quality photo reproduction, innovative graphic design, and brief stories, Gannet Co. the parent company of USA Today established the newspaper in its quest to appeal to a new generation of readers who are predominantly young and middle aged achievement-oriented students, professionals and managerial personnel who were heavy newspaper readers and frequent travelers. Weaned on television, this new generation is increasingly attuned to images rather than words and, because of a busier lifestyle, has less time to read than earlier generations of newspaper readers. USA Today has made huge gains by tailoring its product to this market segment. At the same time, it has influenced the form and content of a host of other North American newspapers. The most notable examples are Wall Street Journal and New York Times. USA Today has become one of the leading sources for news in the nation. It has established its credibility and validity as a reliable and resourceful...

...Issues in Marketing Week # 2 Paper 5-6-2013 Amy Beechum The two different groups of consumers I chose are teens and adults over 65. Companies market these two specific groups very differently from the means of advertising to the products that they sell to them. Marketers Today have found that teenagers play a large role in purchasing items for themselves and they are the future consumers of the world.Markerters have noticed that the buying power of teens is incredible. It is not uncommon for teens to have debit and credit cards and money in hand to shop with. Marketers will primarily try to advertise on the internet on social media websites such as facebook and twitter because of the amount of time spent on these sites by teens. Marketers will also advertise in Teen magazines or even in bathroom stalls of clubs and teen hangouts. Perception plays a large role when it comes to marketing teenagers. Teenagers have strong beliefs in perception being reality. Marketers need to take perception and turn wants into a must have. Marketing is key in creating buying trends amongst teenagers. If companies can get one group of teens in a specific area to buy a product and start the trend than it will become a domino effect and all teens will have to have the product. The needs and desires of a teenage consumer are very different than those needs and desires of an adult over the age of 65. Marketers realize this and advertise and promote items completely different. When a company or...

...went down by 13.5%. Over 80% of newspaper revenues are generated from their advertisement sales, however, among newspapers with an ancillary websites, they average less than 10% of these revenues from their web-based content (Kirchhoff, pp. 2-4). The struggle facing the newsprint media is their inability to make a profitable transition to web-based platforms. This paper will explore many of the challenges involved in making that transition as well as offer up possible strategies that the print media could utilize in the future. It is imperative that the content follow in line with what the medium demands, in order to flourish in the new frontier of distributing the news (Postman, p. 88). The newspaper industry as a whole has been slow to embrace the new internet based technology. They have yet to be successful in walking the line between traditional print content and the interactive multimedia demanded by online readers. In order to stay afloat in the coming years print media must adopt a more modern user interface and business model that will be viable in conjunction with online advertising standards. Advertising revenues account for the vast majority of income for newspapers, unfortunately as print circulations have declined and more readers are moving...

... America succeeded in landing a man on the moon and safely returning him to the Earth, and winning a costly Cold War. During this turbulent period in U.S. history, life has become faster-paced and more women have joined the workforce, all of which have been to the detriment of “traditional” American family meals, but all of which has been to the enormous advantage to the fast food industry. People around the world today may criticize America’s politics, but the fact remains virtually everyone loves American fast food and the industry has become firmly established around the world. This paper provides an overview of the fast food industry from the 1950s to the present, an analysis of what social effects were caused by and reflected in the industry, what marketing and advertising changes have taken place in the industry during this time, followed by a discussion of current and future trends. A summary of the research is provided in the conclusion. Review and Discussion Background and Overview. It would seem that the explosive growth of the fast food industry in the United States was an inevitable event. The powerful combination of automobiles, open roads and an increasingly fast-paced modern society all contributed to the phenomenon, but almost no one could have foreseen just how pervasive and influential the fast food industry would eventually...
