    Olympic spirit dampens among world's advertisers

    雅典奧運開幕在即 世界各地廣告商熱情衰退

    The Olympic spirit has waned among the world's advertisers, though the flame burns bright in Australia and Brazil even as it barely glows in Korea and Switzerland, the findings of a newly released survey reveal.

    "It's not as high an interest as it has been in the past," said Gary Burandt, the executive director of Icom, the global network of privately owned advertising and marketing firms that conducted the survey.

    "I'm not sure if that's related to 9/11 or whether it's related to Greece and the concerns that the venues may not be ready or whether it's a continuing malaise in the marketing communications business around the world," Burandt said.

    The run-up to the Athens games, which begin this month, has been marred by a series of terrorism scares, construction problems and worries about the use of performance enhancing drugs among the athletes. When Colorado-based Icom polled its members around the world, it found that Australia, Brazil and Italy returned a top rank of 5 on a 1-to-5 scale rating the importance of the Olympics with respect to advertising and promotion in their markets.

    On the other end of the scale, Korea and Switzerland ranked only a 1.

    "Australia is the most sports-minded country in the world and they just hosted the Olympics last time, so that didn't surprise me," Burandt said.

    "But Korea surprised me as being low because so many of the sports shoes are made there, they have a very strong, competitive culture and they field teams that compete very strongly," he added.

    In Australia, about 70 percent of the advertising and marketing activity immediately before and during the event is expected to be Olympics-related while in the United Kingdom only about 3 percent will be, according to Icom.

    In the UK and some other European countries, the Olympics will be broadcast on public television, greatly reducing advertising prospects, while in the United States, NBC will not only show events on its flagship network, but also on the cable channels it owns.

    In the United States, where most of the major Olympic sponsors are based and where the most advertising dollars will be spent, the level of interest varied widely by city. Portland, Oregon, close to where athletic gear maker Nike Inc. is based, rated a 5, even though German rival Adidas is sponsoring the Athens games.

    But in Atlanta, which hosted the 1996 summer games and where perennial sponsor Coca-Cola Co. is based, the rating was only a 1, according to Icom.

    一份最新發(fā)布的調(diào)查結(jié)果顯示,世界各地廣告商的奧林匹克熱情已經(jīng)逐漸衰退,盡管在澳大利亞和巴西,奧運圣火還在熊熊燃燒,但是在韓國和瑞士,它卻只能亮起微弱的火星。
     
    Icom公司的執(zhí)行理事加里·布蘭特說:“(人們)對奧運的興趣已不像從前那么高了。”Icom是一家從事廣告和市場營銷的私人公司,它的商業(yè)網(wǎng)絡遍布全球,Icom公司進行了這次調(diào)查。

    布蘭特說:“我不確定這是否和9/11事件有關(guān),或者與希臘本身有關(guān),人們擔心比賽場館可能無法準備完畢,抑或是整個全球行銷傳播行業(yè)的持續(xù)低迷。”

    本月即將開始的雅典奧運會在準備階段遇到了一系列麻煩,如恐怖主義威脅、奧運場館建設問題、還有對運動員使用提高競技水平的藥物的擔憂。總部位于美國科羅拉多州的Icom 公司在其世界各地的會員中進行了民意測驗,結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)在1到5 級的范圍中,澳大利亞、巴西和意大利將奧運會對于市場廣告和促銷活動的重要性評為最高的第5級。

    但韓國和瑞士卻給出了另一個極端-——1級。

    布蘭特說:“澳大利亞是世界上體育意識最強的國家,而且他們剛剛主辦了上屆奧運會,因此這一結(jié)果并不讓我感到驚訝。”

    他補充說:“但是韓國打出的低分讓我覺得很驚訝,因為許多運動鞋都是韓國制造的,他們有著非常強勁的、充滿競爭意識的文化,而且他們的比賽團隊也很有實力。”

    根據(jù)Icom的調(diào)查,在澳大利亞,奧運會開賽前和比賽期間的廣告和行銷活動大約有70%預期和奧運有關(guān)。而在英國,這一比例大約只有3 % 。

    在英國和其他一些歐洲國家,奧運會將由公共電視轉(zhuǎn)播,這極大地降低了廣告(贏利)前景;但在美國,NBC不僅會通過它的主打網(wǎng)絡,而且還將通過有線頻道來轉(zhuǎn)播這次盛事。

    美國是絕大多數(shù)奧運主要贊助商的所在地,也是廣告活動費用最高的地方。人們對奧運會的興趣在不同的城市差距很大。位于俄勒岡州的波特蘭市鄰近體育用品制造商耐克公司的基地,因此這里給出的評級結(jié)果是第5級,盡管雅典奧運會的贊助商是德國的競爭對手阿迪達斯。

    但是根據(jù)Icom的調(diào)查,盡管亞特蘭大主辦了1996年夏季奧運會,還是永久贊助商可口可樂公司的所在地,而這里的評級結(jié)果僅為第1級。
