Launch of MeetingPrep.com Search Disrupts B2B Marketing for Media, Advertising & Entertainment Industry - PRNewswire

Myers describes MeetingPrep.com as "the traffic driver to more than 15,000 original and exclusive multi-modal educational reports, articles, studies, white papers and profiles aggregated and curated at MediaVillage in collaboration with hundreds of leading media companies, agencies, non-profit organizations, trade associations and subject matter experts."

The media industry's need for MeetingPrep.com evolved from The Myers Report research conducted among leading brand marketers, universities, and D-E-I leaders. "We have an epidemic of commoditized information that has become a form of garbage, barely useful for preparing for the most basic meeting or for achieving even the most fundamental task," Myers commented.

Myers acknowledges the challenge of launching and growing a vertical industry-focused search engine but believes the distinct user advantages of MeetingPrep to multiple stakeholders can quickly scale. "Through our research," commented Myers, "we learned that traditional B2B messaging from media companies is ignored, search and LinkedIn Learning is ineffective, and easily accessible knowledge for self-education is unavailable. MediaVillage and MeetingPrep.com, in tandem, make access to on-demand knowledge accessible, quick, and manageable."

MeetingPrep.com will be promoted through a major out-of-home and digital ad campaign targeting brand marketers, agencies and students at Historic Black Colleges and Universities. "The industry's failure to build, retain and develop a diverse workforce can no longer stand," Myers emphasized. In 2011, MyersBizNet launched WomenAdvancing.org, the first of several initiatives that have been combined under AdvancingDiversity.org and lead the industry's collective focus on advancing diversity from advocacy to activism.

MyersBizNet has a 35-year history as a trusted and respected researcher, analyst, advisor, predictor of trends and activist for diversity, equity, and inclusion. MediaVillage serves and supports the full media, marketing, advertising, and entertainment ecosystem in an open and unbiased environment, unique in an industry with more than 100 sector-specific trade associations and thousands of competitors and "frenemies."

"Since founding MediaVillage in 1984, we've led the industry in building tools for growth that deliver an essential turn-key tool kit to our member organizations," said Myers. "When optimized, our tools are proven to increase market share and industry growth by focusing on stakeholder education and workforce development. Our 2021 focus is on consolidating our leadership in the media and advertising community and modernizing media industry talent and stakeholder education."
