What’s the
next big thing... for 2009 and beyond?
We posed this question to 12 of the most illustrious professional communications organizations in Las Vegas, including two next-generation student groups at UNLV. The answers are as varied as the disciplines we represent – journalism, public relations, marketing, graphic design and more. Yet whether we work in visual media, on the Internet, in print, or on the airwaves … we all share a common goal. We’re all about communicating a message, shaping the world around us, creating cultural change.
Five-Thousand Years
Each contributing our own strengths in our own way, yet also inextricably linked with one another. Through this

calendar, we come together – hopefully for more than just these 12 short months – as partners in communication. Just for a nostalgic reminder of how far things have come, each month’s illustration takes a glimpse back through history at what was once the “next big thing” – from hieroglyphs, to moveable type, the newspaper, television and the Internet. What will make the list 50 or 100 years from now? Twitter? Mobile marketing? Will

The next big thing in communications is the blending and accessibility of new media. The ability to tell stories with text, audio, images and videos seamlessly and collaboratively is going to be the new standard for communications. The most comprehensive and informative communication channels are going to be the leaders in communications. Communicators are demanding faster, simpler and higher quality communication media. Complete media with video, audio, text, interactivity and additional commentary that are accessible by a simple click will be the most successful. New media are being stirred together, reaching out to millions of viewers and shaping the way people receive information. We as students – the next generation of professionals in the communications field – have unlimited possibilities to communicate with the world. We have experienced the growth of technology throughout our academic careers. We are responsible for leading the next movement into a more informed and technologically savvy era.

Flag semaphore Flag semaphore allows two individuals to communicate to each other by displaying handheld flags in a sequence of positions. This system became widely used at sea during the early 19th century. The U.S. Navy still uses flag semaphore during ship-to-ship replenishments at sea.

A revolution has begun and the advertisers that don’t adapt
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
will not survive. The convergence of high tech with high
15 16 17 18 19 20 21
touch and placing the consumer in control of content they
22 23 24 25 26 27 28
receive is the revolution. Whether it’s television, print, online,
29 30 31
broadcast, phone, computer or some futuristic devices that
1 2 3 4
APR
have been a mainstay of 007 movies over the decades,
5 6 7 8 9 10 11
consumer expectations have shifted from accepting the
12 13 14 15 16 17 18
delivery of advertising with content, to controlling content
19 20 21 22 23 24 25
delivery and blocking advertising. Companies that are
26 27 28 29 30
proactive and lead the revolution will provide value beyond
MAY
the purchase. Consumers will choose to receive advertising
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
that provides value and feels like content.

Telephones Origin: 1876
Telephones were born when Alexander Graham Bell spoke the famous words, “Mr. Watson… Come here… I want to see you.” Ten years later, more than 150,000 Americans owned telephones. When Bell died in 1922, all U.S. telephones were silenced for one minute.

Twitterpated. That’s what the American Marketing Association Las Vegas Chapter is about, the microblog Twitter. Traffic on Twitter.com continues to multiply exponentially as individuals and companies communicate in this 140-character social networking powerhouse. Friends keep in touch throughout the workday, coworkers chat from across the building, businesses communicate with their clients in real-time and market researchers scout the site to catch the latest buzz and next big trend. While Twitter works out the service kinks and tries to keep pace with the demand, we can’t wait to see what’s next...tweet tweet little Twitterbugs.

is mobile. Consumers are entering a time when there are more text messages than there are cell phone calls

within a given month. I think we’ll start to see Las Vegas marketers take giant steps toward SMS and proximity (Bluetooth) marketing over the next year as the competition will be fierce in a softened economy. Mobile combined with the social media practices within Web 2.0 will certainly bring marketing-consumer relationships closer together and more personalized than ever before.
