Online Advertising Soars

Topics: Blogosphere

Julie Roehm has media companies worried. As Chrysler's director of marketing communications she oversees a $2 billion advertising budget that ranks as the sixth-largest pool of ad dollars in the nation.

Why are print-based organizations concerned?

Roehm rarely misses a chance to talk about how delighted she is with online advertising. Last year she spent 10% of the budget online; this year she is allotting closer to 18%; next year, she says, she will allocate more than 20%. Do the math: In 2006 roughly $400 million of Chrysler's money that used to go into TV, newspaper, and magazine ads will be spent on the Internet. Says Roehm: "I hate to sound like such a marketing geek, but we like to fish where the fish are."
