'Advertising Categories Under Attack in Washington' Focus of Address --
 |
WASHINGTON,
DC -
Jim Davidson, one of the nation's leading experts on advertising issues,
will identify some major threats to broadcast revenues at the Washington
Insider Legislative Breakfast, sponsored by HD Radio, during The NAB Radio
Show in Dallas.
The session will provide an insider's overview of attacks on specific
radio advertising categories and what strategies broadcasters should use
to thwart those attacks. Among the issues which will be examined are categories
of products -- including pharmaceuticals and fast food -- that are threatened,
how advertisers could be penalized, and how to answer critics who hold
advertisers responsible for cultural problems.
As the founder of Davidson & Company of Polsinelli Shalton Welte Suelthaus,
a public policy advisory firm, Davidson has helped companies and business
associations define and achieve their goals in the legislative and regulatory
arenas of the federal government. He has worked in a diverse range of
public policy areas including advertising regulation and commercial speech,
appropriations, taxation, health care, telecommunications and the Internet.
Davidson also writes the 'Eye on Washington' column on prescription drug
advertising for DTC Perspectives Magazine, as well as a column
on federal government issues for Electronic Retailer Magazine.
The Washington Insider Legislative Breakfast will take place on Friday,
September 22 at the Hilton Anatole Hotel.
