… of advertising by traditional means were becoming problematic as global theatrical revenues were flat, and DVD revenues declined, and the effectiveness of TV spots –the mainstay in motivating audiences–was in question as the internet and other forms of entertainment diminished the reach and effectiveness of TV ads. New approaches were needed; partners were needed; business as usual wouldn’t suffice and Ross believed Carney was the solution for…
