Idean prepared the study with Project Manager and Doctoral candidate Timo Ketonen from \u00c5bo Akademi University.<\/p> <p>In addition to the advertising spending, the infographic looked at the total marketing and communication mix. A typical mix included newsletters, company blogs, press releases, SEO, seminar presentations, social networks as well as coverage on newspapers, magazines, online news and video sharing services. We found that search engine marketing and display advertising stood out from paid channels, although the company\u2019s focus was still on own and earned channels.<\/p> <p>We also asked which channels had the strongest influence on each company\u2019s success. The start-ups were most united on their own company websites and newspaper coverage\u2019s impact on their success. If the companies would have the power, money and time then they would typically focus more on newspaper coverage, company blogs and seminar presentations.<\/p> <p>All in all, this is again bad news for the traditional media sales executives. If and when these currently young and small companies are one day the wealthy engines of our economy then traditional advertising will not be among the first options in their channel mix.<\/p> <p>Kalle Snellman<\/p> <p>Senior Strategist &#8211; Idean<\/p> <p>Timo Ketonen<\/p> <p>Project Manager and Doctoral candidate &#8211; \u00c5bo Akademi University<\/p> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Start-ups\u2019 have a high need for all kinds of publicity and media coverage but they generally avoid paid advertising channels.
