In 1991 there was a seminar focusing on the need for advertising. All that was discussed still stands true today. I would like to share that info with you.

Business and professional people were told about the importance of advertising during slow economic times at the seminar.

The meeting coincides with conclusion of an advertising campaign about the subject. Indianapolis Newspapers, Inc. publisher of The Indianapolis Star and The Indianapolis News; WRTV-Channel 6; and advertising agency Pearson, Crahan & Fletcher Group, Inc. created the campaign.

"The Ultimate Campaign" had five parts and debuted with television ads in January 1991.

Phase 1. "Today Business Is Fierce". Was a teaser designed to get the attention of businesses competing in the tough climate of those times.

Phase 2. "Explore All Your Options" will suggest that business as usual is insufficient and all marketing options should be explored.

Phase 3. "Commit Plans to Action" will say nothing happens until the wheels are in motion. Businesses must be proactive in the business climate.

Phase 4. "Advertising The Ultimate Weapon" will show case advertising as the best option to maintain and grow share in tough times.

Phase 5. "We believe in advertising" listed all the area ad agencies and media that endorsed the proven ability of advertising to build business in a down economy. The list was quite extensive and impressive to say the least.

The meeting was held at the Indiana Repertory Theater. The turn out of people was huge. The power of advertising was demonstrated. It was the very best way to communicate this powerful idea.
