He claims that if the economy didn\u2019t make a dive then everyone wouldn\u2019t have been able to experiment the way that they have. He said further that Ford\u2019s production quality online has been better than its broadcast. Farley, who is Ford\u2019s group vice president of global marketing, regards the experimentation that he mentioned earlier to be the <span id=\"more-39268\"><\/span> \u201cdemocratization of marketing\u201d and that it is actually the most important transition the company is making. Ford, which has long advocated for the turning over of the brand to consumers, has brought this belief not only to the digital space but through its TV spots as well. Many have given the TV spots that featured real Ford owners plenty of positive reviews. Farley said that with these customers telling their stories, the company has earned credibility. Farley said that Ford is also rethinking the manner that it approaches media planning.  He said that the upfront media buys have left him feeling that there is something not quite right about spending huge money on traditional broadcast media just to get frequency.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span><\/span><\/p>\n<p> [via autonews &#8211; sub. required] <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/focusgear.com\/files\/2010\/04\/39cde9418e7ea058713a20bdb8af4baf.jpg\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" border=\"0\" class=\"rss2wordpress_image alignleft\" alt=\"Vw Golf VI Collectors Edition\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/focusgear.com\/files\/2010\/04\/058eb4c4589406b18488204d9f7af3ec.jpg\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" border=\"0\" class=\"rss2wordpress_image alignleft\" alt=\"Vw Golf VI Collectors Edition\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/focusgear.com\/files\/2010\/04\/ca239854f68cfb97605bd5e076ef4523.jpg\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" border=\"0\" class=\"rss2wordpress_image alignleft\" alt=\"Vw Golf VI Collectors Edition\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/focusgear.com\/files\/2010\/04\/f37502707a69223e335da3cce8951f5b.jpg\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" border=\"0\" class=\"rss2wordpress_image alignleft\" alt=\"Vw Golf VI Collectors Edition\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/focusgear.com\/files\/2010\/04\/58c736dec31650937031b844ed5f9c36.jpg\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" border=\"0\" class=\"rss2wordpress_image alignleft\" alt=\"Vw Golf VI Collectors Edition\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/focusgear.com\/files\/2010\/04\/9d285ebda4afc49a490a003fd8a9c3ba.jpg\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" border=\"0\" class=\"rss2wordpress_image alignleft\" alt=\"Vw Golf VI Collectors Edition\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/focusgear.com\/files\/2010\/04\/d7c76fa0a15648c30b49bcceea11d661.jpg\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" border=\"0\" class=\"rss2wordpress_image alignleft\" alt=\"Vw Golf VI Collectors Edition\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/focusgear.com\/files\/2010\/04\/d0bf77847706ea225065dc773a79d847.jpg\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" border=\"0\" class=\"rss2wordpress_image alignleft\" alt=\"Vw Golf VI Collectors Edition\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/focusgear.com\/files\/2010\/04\/e3ea6dac5809d201fb50fa8b56ee6cb2.jpg\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" border=\"0\" class=\"rss2wordpress_image alignleft\" alt=\"Vw Golf VI Collectors Edition\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/focusgear.com\/files\/2010\/04\/6340a7046963b3a54f960df76f4aebf8.jpg\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" border=\"0\" class=\"rss2wordpress_image alignleft\" alt=\"Vw Golf VI Collectors Edition\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p class=\"rss2wordpress_signature\">Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.4wheelsnews.com\/\">Car news, Car reviews, Spy shots<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The recent financial crisis has led to the creation of new opportunities for digital marketing, according to Ford marketing boss Jim Farley who spoke at the Advertising Age\u2019s Digital Conference.
