    &lt;strong&gt;Advertising Research Foundation to launch innovation fund&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h5 style="margin-top: .2em;"&gt;By Robert Bain  &lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Advertising Research Foundation (ARF) is looking to establish an innovation fund to develop &amp;#8220;new tools for new marketing questions&amp;#8221;. &amp;nbsp;The foundation&amp;#8217;s chief research officer Joel Rubinson announced the plans for the &amp;#8216;Frontier Fund&amp;#8217; at this week&amp;#8217;s audience measurement conference in New York.&lt;br /&gt;

    &lt;strong&gt;How Mobile Phones Threaten Wristwatch Marketers&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    The world's watch makers may be in trouble as teenagers  increasingly look to their mobile phones &#8211; rather than their wrists &#8211; to tell  time. That's one of the surprising discoveries of an ongoing study of how  digital technology is changing consumer behavior around the world. Jeffrey  Cole, of the Center for the Digital Future at the University of Southern  California Annenberg School, appeared at the Advertising Research Foundation's  Audience Measurement 3.0 Conference in New York this week.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;

    &lt;strong&gt;Cross-Platform Ads: What&#8217;s Working?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h5 style="margin-top: .2em;"&gt;By Andrew Hampp&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It's become a universal truth that the more screens ads  are shown on, the better the chances that consumers will remember seeing them.  How to measure that multiplatform recall, however, has largely been left up to  the individual TV networks. At the Advertising Research Foundation's Audience  Measurement 3.0 Conference in New York this week, research executives from ABC,  ESPN and MTV shared recent case-studies on their efforts to quantify ad recall  and audience reach across their linear and digital channels for advertisers,  and the results varied widely.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;h5 style="margin-top: .2em;"&gt;By Joe Mandese&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In what may be an industry first, a leading research and  consulting group has teamed up with a renowned American university to launch a  new privately-held media research company that will utilize state-of-the-art  methods to track consumer media behavior. The Media Behavior Institute (MBI),  was unveiled by Mike Bloxham, director of insight and research at the Center of  Media Design at Ball State University during an opening keynote at Wednesday's  session of the Advertising Research Foundation's audience measurement  conference in New York.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;h5 style="margin-top: .2em;"&gt;By Steve McClellan&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;p&gt;TV audience researcher TRA has struck a licensing deal  with TiVo to access viewing data from the DVR maker's 1.7 million set-top boxes  nationwide. TRA and TiVo executives at the Advertising Research Foundation's  annual audience measurement conference in New York disclosed the agreement  yesterday.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;h5 style="margin-top: .2em;"&gt;By David Goetzl&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At the Advertising Research Foundation measurement  conference in New York, Jeffrey Cole--director of the USC Annenberg Center for  the Digital Future--said that prior to 2004, dial-up-powered computers in  general were located outside of the central TV room, perhaps in an office. Back  then, accessing the Internet was so time-consuming that people would generally  log on and spend some 20 to 30 minutes per sitting. That took away from TV  time, Cole said.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;h5 style="margin-top: .2em;"&gt;By David Goetzl&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The head of Mediaedge:cia's North American operations said  Tuesday that packaged-goods and similar advertisers still have considerable  work to do in figuring out the most effective use of the Internet.&amp;nbsp; Lee Doyle, North American CEO, said at  the Advertising Research Foundation audience measurement conference in New York  that businesses in the transactional arena--the Amazons, the Expedias--have  benefited the most from the Web. So have auto marketers, as people use the  Internet to research extensively pre-purchase.&lt;br /&gt;

    &lt;strong&gt;TiVo, TRA to Measure Purchases Based On Ad Exposure&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h5 style="margin-top: .2em;"&gt;By David Goetzl and Wayne Friedman&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;p&gt;TiVo said Tuesday that it has reached an agreement with a  marketing research firm that aims to gauge how its user base makes household  purchasing decisions based on ad exposure. The agreement--announced during the  Advertising Research Foundation's measurement conference in New York--offers  the prospect of determining whether the TiVo-enabled option of fast-forwarding  through ads affects purchasing behavior.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;h5 style="margin-top: .2em;"&gt;By Linda Moss&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;p&gt;TiVo and TRA Monday unveiled a partnership that will  permit TRA to license and market TiVo&#8217;s audience research to offer a service  that fuses viewing, demographic and purchasing data. The TiVo-TRA partnership  was announced during the Advertising Research Foundation&#8217;s Audience Measurement  3.0 conference in New York City.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A study being released on Wednesday morning by the Keller  Fay Group and the media agency OMD, which is part of the Omnicom Group,  compares the effectiveness of word of mouth &#8212; also known as buzz &#8212; when it is  conducted in online and offline venues.&amp;nbsp;  The study, being released at a conference sponsored by the Advertising  Research Foundation, found that conversations face to face or by telephone were  deemed more highly credible than those done online.&lt;br /&gt;

    &lt;strong&gt;Radio Needs Testing &amp;#8211; But Is This It? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are a few thoughts that trouble me over the concept Jerry Lee is delivering to the Advertising Research Foundation&amp;#8217;s Audience Measurement 3.0 Conference in New York this week. To summarize his offer, it's to &amp;quot;test&amp;quot; radio commercials and prove they are better at delivering reach and efficacy than Philadelphia's television commercials.&lt;br /&gt;
