COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
The advertising market will be analyzed taking advertising agencies as players. The key buyers will be taken as corporate clients, and information technology and commercial real estate providers as the key suppliers. The advertising market in China is dominated by Dentsu Inc, Omnicom and WPP Group and their large size intensifies competition. As target audiences are increasingly fragmented due to technological advancements and differing consumer habits, players in the advertising market must constantly innovate, market, adjust and improve their practices to ensure clients needs are met thoroughly. Government regulation of advertising content is important to recognize and take into consideration. This particularly affects age restricted products such as cigarettes and alcohol. Buyers range from small scale businesses to large multinational corporations. Today, advertising content is delivered in many formats through diverse channels ranging from sponsorship of sports events and teams to internet advertising campaigns. This can often mean that reaching mass audiences is complicated and often costly. For example, in the past, an advert during a prime time TV show would have certainly reached a large audience. Nowadays, with a plethora of entertainment media available such as TV, DVDs, the internet and games consoles, the audience is less concentrated and so advertising through all media formats must be considered. As a result, businesses are seeking advice from external advertising/marketing agencies in order to reduce expenditures. The ability of agencies to meet buyers individual needs allows strong differentiation between market players and agencies often provide bespoke campaigns. Accordingly, players can then attract new clients based on their niche expertise, reputation for innovative campaigns and so on. Overall, buyer power in the advertising market is considered to be moderate. Suppliers to advertising agencies include IT and office equipment manufacturers, internet service providers, and owners of office space. Staff costs are also significant: success in the advertising business is strongly influenced by the creativity and expertise of employees, and remuneration must reflect this. Different countries will pay their employees at different rates, which will affect overall profit margins. However, the degree of consolidation in the advertising market in most countries may restrict the ability of staff to change employer. Furthermore, leading advertising agencies tend to be located in major cities such as London, Shanghai and New York, where demand for prime office space - and therefore rent - is high. Agencies must negotiate the purchase of advertising space from media companies such as magazine publishers and TV companies; however, these are not considered as suppliers, as agencies can pass on the expense to their clients. In fact, the traditional business model for agencies was to charge a flat-rate commission on their clients' media space purchases, although different models are becoming more common today. Overall, supplier power is considered to be moderate. An advertising agency is generally physical asset-light, but highly reliant on knowledge and creativity. This means that in principle it should be possible to enter the market with relatively low capital outlay.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

However, the need to build up knowledge of consumers demand patterns and the potentialities of different media, incurs costs in terms of time and money which raises entry barriers. Leading players have typically brought together many advertising and marketing functions under their well-known brands, and are therefore formidable competitors. Within the individual country markets, government regulation of certain kinds of advertising (e.g. tobacco or alcohol) may restrict the available revenues, and make them less attractive. This is the case with tobacco advertising in China which is now not allowed. Due to the latest technological developments, especially with respect to the high level of internet activity, videogames can be constantly updated by downloading new brand names or products on a periodic basis. This presents a new segment of the advertising market for operators to enter, and interest from current players wanting to utilize this segment may result in increased rivalry. Overall, there is a moderate likelihood of new entrants. As an alternative to using services offered by market players, buyers can integrate backwards with the aim of reducing the costs implied with using external agencies: this approach would not require massive capital expenditure, which could pose a threat to players. However, being able to establish a suitably qualified team can prove problematic for companies. Most companies have now established an internet presence and can self-promote through this medium. Web designers are frequently distinct from advertising and marketing players, but can often give advice on raising their clients' web profile, for example, through appropriate site design. Overall, the threat of substitutes is considered to be weak. The advertising market in China is dominated by Dentsu Inc, Omnicom and WPP Group and their large size intensifies competition. China, however, is dominated by other leading advertising agencies such as Beijing Dentsu Advertising, Dahe Media and Saatchi & Saatchi China (of Publicis). However, the dominance of these players means that there are fewer companies in the market overall, which tends to reduce rivalry somewhat. The leading players, though diversified in their operations, are similar and so often offer the same basic service, although they can differentiate themselves to some extent through factors such as their prestigious client list, campaign record, and also by the range of services offered, which may weaken rivalry by making clients unwilling to switch agencies. Chinas burgeoning advertising industry provides plenty of scope for many players and so rivalry in China is less of an issue than in most other markets. Also strong market growth during 2010 would tend to further decrease rivalry. Overall, the degree of rivalry is considered to be moderate.
