Hi
Hopefully you can get some money to preserve this archive.
I used to work in a photo archive for a charity and we reviewed picture management systems a few years ago. Based in the Netherlands these guys are great, really helpful and will advise you. Flexible pricing too.

If you have access to Bloomberg you could do this for listed companies. Quite a bit of fiddling around though.

Hi Andrew,
Not much of a list of dealers, however a list of names in the UK of water cooler producers/ as a starting point? At the bottom of the page it says, "view a full list of" and that is even printable.

I am looking at mobile phones /SMS for specific health purposes and in particular if there have been any reviews of the literature that are recent ? There is also the bigger picture of SMS and related social networks such as facebook and its been hard to find any critical takes on the increasing interest for cost reasons rather than proven efficacy...Bit heavy first thing but can anyone refer me on?
Thanks

Hi. I'm new on this site. I'm a Nigerian conducting a research on media monitoring agencies. I'd like to know how the organization functions, how they foster the relationship between advertising agencies and media organizations and if the monitoring results are always accurate. I'd also like to know if controversies arise through these results. An immediate reply will be appreciated.

hi there - i guess you are just interested in the ad spend side of media monitoring?
no service is 100% accurate. they can't be because they do not have access to commercially sensitive deal information (ie when procter and gamble do a big ad deal with media owner x).
however, these services all run on the same principles. they count the number of incidences of ads appearing (either manually or with TV by taking broadcast logs) multiplying this by media rates (the cost of an ad) and often incorporating a discount to produce a value.
its in the interests of these services to talk regularly with media owners and buyers so these both give a good steer on who accurate their information is.
hope this helps!
