Some marketers, concerned that data isn’t telling them everything they need to know, are considering increasing their use of personal interviews in research. Meanwhile, some ad agencies are looking to hire more people from rural areas as they rethink the popular use of aspirational messaging showcasing a ritzy life on the two metropolitan coasts. One company is also weighing whether to open more local offices around the world, where the people who create ads are closer to the people who see them.

And this paragraph

    “The election will have spooked the liberal elite away from high concept, ‘make the world a better place’” advertising to “a more down-to-earth ‘tell me what you will do for me’ approach” said Robert Senior, worldwide chief executive of Saatchi & Saatchi, a creative firm owned by Publicis Groupe.

The filter bubble many of these people live in is popping. I can only see this as a good thing, maybe some of the people in this country that have been ignored for a few decades will get some airtime, even if only in adverts.

Reveals a deeply disingenuous concept of how advertising works. But that's okay because it's generally acknowledged that if you're still hunting broadcast dollars you're playing to dying rednecks anyway.

Which is okay 'cuz you're dying too. Ad budgets are down about 70% since 2000 and it's almost all online.

Two thirds of the population of the United States is "coastal elites."
