Introduction

Multi-platform advertising refers to an emerging practice that employs "a multitude of combinations of TV spots or sponsorship, online, OOH, print, radio and so on.” Today, advertisers around the world are also exploring the impacts of social media as parts of this integrated approach. Also known as cross-platform advertising, this emerging practice in the advertising industry is claimed to "generate an average of 8 percent greater reach, or achieve significantly higher frequency" when compared with a single platform television campaign. Practitioners have claimed that a multi-platform advertising campaign can lead to enhanced audience engagement and reach. However, the study of how multi-platform advertising practice is used around the world remains to be an area that has been thoroughly studied and documented to shed lights on its potential, challenges and opportunities.

Manuscripts are currently being solicited for this handbook that intends to fill the vacuum in this area. The handbook aims to stimulate research into this emerging practice in the advertising industry. Contributors around the world are invited to present country- or region-specific chapters on issues, theories, and applications related to the emerging multi-platform advertising.

Objective

The objectives of this handbook aim to provide advertising researchers and academic librarians a global and updated coverage of these contemporary developments in the advertising industry. Its publication will contribute to the research in this emerging area. Its global coverage will be the main strength of this handbook, given that there lacks a book dedicated to the applications, theories, and strategies in multi-platform advertising. This handbook will also help researchers to understand the international diffusion of these multi-platform advertising practices in an increasingly globalized economy. The edited handbook will also contribute to the understanding of how individual country respond to these emerging advertising practices.

Target Audience

This handbook will be written in a language that will be accessible to researchers who are interested in any pertinent topics related to multi-platform advertising around the world. The handbook will also be useful for researchers who are interested in studying the global impacts of multi-platform media on the advertising industry.
