In the media world, there was some big news earlier this month when CBS announced they would be using Rentrak's ratings data as "currency" in their new TV buys. This was quite a boost for the company that up until now was a distant second to ratings company behemoth Nielsen who seemed to be unstoppable in it's growth having acquired radio data company Arbitron last year.

But if you are searching for a new media agency, or perhaps unaware of what to do when it comes to forming a quality annual media plan, here's a few of the things we think through at McCulloch+Company when designing media plans for our clients.

This week's Good Media Idea features a shoe brand, Asics, and their promotion of the NY Marathon last weekend. Their idea falls in the "Alternative Media" category for Media Life Magazine, and those are the types of media ideas we like. Here's the premise: A treadmill sponsored by Asics, is driven around New York City on a flatbed truck; it's preset to the record speed of an Olympian runner, Ryan Hall and folks on the street can strap in (there's a special harness hung overhead) and try to keep up to his 4:46/ mile pace. This is all to promote the NYC marathon. It's part event marketing, part PR-stunt, part creative out-of-home campaign, and ALL buzz worthy. We like it.
