This paper suggests the traditional academic advertising research model is likely broken, given the changes in advertising which have occurred over the past few years. Five model areas of the research approach are identified as needing re-thinking, (a) the advertising problem, (b) sample frame and subjects, (c) consumer behaviour assumptions, (d) research methodologies and (e) findings. Suggestions are made for improvement and a call for the establishment of a blue ribbon panel for the next ICORIA meeting to report back on recommended changes are offered as solutions.
