<title>Could Five Percent of Ad Spend Be Used for &#8216;Greater Good?&#8217;</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><object style="height: 350px; width: 480px;" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="100" height="100" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mN1Oqjt09UM?version=3" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed style="height: 350px; width: 480px;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100" height="100" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mN1Oqjt09UM?version=3" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>As the above video and adorable children will tell you, $500 billion is spent annually on advertising. Today marks the launch of ADD or DELETE, an all caps social initiative dedicated to reallocating five percent of that money (approx. $25 billion) toward positive societal change.</p>
<p>The launch is timed to coincide with Super Bowl XLV and the enormous amount of attention being drawn to the $3 million price of a 30-second ad. Led by Minneapolis-based marketing group <a href="http://www.modernstorytellers.com/">Haberman</a>, ADD or DELETE urges consumers to question the value of that expensive advertising in two weeks. In a press release, Haberman MD <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Eric-Block-profile.html">Eric Block</a></strong> says he wants viewers to ask the question, ‘Is the approximately $3 million dollars being spent on every ad ADDing value or would you rather DELETE it?&#8217;&#8221;</p>
<p>The company&#8217;s namesake/CEO <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Fred-Haberman-profile.html">Fred Haberman</a></strong> echoes Block&#8217;s plan for the campaign, saying, “ADD or DELETE inspires marketing professionals to consider their legacies; do you want to be known for gaining approvals for lavish ad shoots or for creating campaigns that positively impact our world?”</p>
<p>Given the two participating NFL teams&#8217; large fan bases, it&#8217;s a sure bet that a ton of people will be watching the Super Bowl this year, and the price of those 30-second spots isn&#8217;t going to drop before the game. What does the average sports fan prefer: watching <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Robert-Goulet-profile.html">Robert Goulet</a></strong> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPtpo1OuYcs">climb around on a ceiling</a>, watching a giggling woman <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1W3hzJNSkqs">ride a seal</a>, or hearing <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Tim-Tebow-profile.html">Tim Tebow</a></strong> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqReTDJSdhE">speak out against abortions</a>?</p>
