Asia Pac’s growth buoys global ad spend in Q3

Global ad spend rose 3.2% in Q3 YOY, closing the first three quarters of the year also at 3.2%, according to Nielsen’s quarterly Global AdView Pulse report. The Asia Pacific region’s powerhouse ad market continues to expand, driving the Q3’s global ad growth. This market grew 7.0% for the first three quarters of 2013 YOY. North America’s ad market waned slightly (1.3%) during Q3 but still ended the first three quarters with a gain of 1.7% YOY.

Sprint debuts “One Big Happy Framily”

Via DigitasLBi, the new advertising shows how Sprint consumers can invite friends, family and others to join their “Framily,” lowering everyone’s monthly rate. The TV ad shows how a Framily can be put together, starting with a family of four, “the girls, my lady,” adding friends (a fantasy football league) and others, such as the daughter’s boyfriend. It concludes with, “The Framily Plan from Sprint. With a new price, a new plan and an all-new network, there’s never been a better time to switch.” The spot is airing during primetime across national network and cable and there will be two additional spots to air at a later date. Sprint spokesman Dave Mellin tells RBR-TVBR the buy aired/airs on:
