Welcome to the new aimgroup.com site!

We have lots of content here for both clients and nonclients -- but you must register first. Registration is free and easy. The registration and log-in links are located on the top right of each page, in the top-level navigation bar. While you register with your e-mail address, you can choose any unique user ID you wish.

Clients: If you're a client of our Continuous Advisory Service, please the same e-mail address from which you receive our reports. We are notified on each new registration; we'll be able to grant you access to client-only content once you register. (We'll do so as timely as possible Mon-Fri.) You'll still receive our reports delivered as PDF via e-mail, as you always have.

Nonclients: Only clients are entitled to our world-renown Classified Intelligence Report and other proprietary reports and analyses of global media industries. But there's a lot of free content, too, updated daily. You also have access to our consultants' blogs. If you want to know more about becoming a client, give us a call at (+1) 407 788 2780 or visit our Contact Us page.

To learn more about our wide variety of consulting, analysis and research services, visit our Products & Services page.
Client-only content is marked with a blue note icon. Public content is signified by a white note icon.

Topics are divided into specific channels:

    * Building Sales
    * Building Audience
    * Strategy
    * Real Estate advertising
    * Automotive advertising
    * Recruiment advertising
    * General and Marketplace advertising (which includes directory advertising)
    * and a Publications channel, where you'll find some of our reports for sale. (You can purchase and download them online.)

You can access the channels either by using the tabs across the top of each page, or by clicking the links in the left-hand navigation box. Some content might be cross-posted to other channels as relevant.

At the bottom of each article and blog, registered members are invited to comment. You'll also see tags to related content. We tag articles by topics, keywords and relevant nouns.

And, of course, you can always search sitewide for specific content. The search box is on the far right, next to the tabs near the top of each page.

On the footer of each page, you'll find links to our member agreement, our privacy policy, a glossary of industry terminology and a link to Industry Contacts, which includes lists of vendors, associations and companies that we may write about.

Once registered, you have to log in each browser session. Your browser can remember your username and password if you like. If you forget either, you can visit the registration-login page to have reminders sent to you. (We remind clients to not divulge their membership credentials to others, as it violates both the member agreement and our service contract.)

At any time, you can access your registration details by clicking the Account Information link in the blue Welcome box along the right side of each page. On this page, you can change your password, upload a photo, and manage subscriptions to e-mail alerts and other services as we develop them. Each channel page supports RSS, which gives you access via any number of browser and mobile RSS readers.
