The Villager - How Africans Consume Brands (Paperback): Feyi Olubodun The Villager - How Africans Consume Brands (Paperback)
Feyi Olubodun

When Feyi Olubodun, CEO of one of West Africa’s leading creative agencies, witnessed one too many cases of brands failing in the African marketplace he began to ask himself questions:
- Why did brands, both global and local, so often fail to connect with the African consumer?
- What was it about the African market that brand owners were not seeing?

He began to reflect on his own marketing experiences and out of this emerged the framework for The Villager.

In Feyi’s view, the African consumer begins his life’s journey by moving from the village, his rural dwelling, to the city, carrying with him not only his own dreams but also the dreams of his community. He is a highly aspirational consumer, motivated to succeed, and he becomes the economic portal for the rest of his community back home. But although he may be exposed to global influences and technology, his essential identity remains largely intact. This is why Feyi calls the African consumer a Villager. The Village is no longer a physical space; it is a psychological construct that defines him and the filter through which he engages with and consumes brands.

In developing his construct, Feyi posits that if you wish to engage successfully in a market you may not understand, you must have the right ‘lenses’ to view a people. He believes the secret lies in applying these lenses at the confluence of commerce, culture and consumer. Data is not enough to understand the vagaries of a particular market. Drawing on his wide experience and wealth of astute observations, he provides a highly readable and indispensable guide to the mindset of the African consumer today, yet it is true to say that his insights apply, albeit in a more nuanced way, to consumer behaviour across the globe.

The Villager is essential reading for brand owners wishing to conquer new markets.

What does it take to be an incredible marketer, creating campaigns that move something from ‘here’ to ‘there’ so that it is noticed, believed, loved, and ultimately (and importantly) bought by customers – whether in business-to-business or business-to-consumer contexts?

How does a marketer devise strategies to fulfil the 360° dreams, aspirations and objectives of an entire business? Is it through brand building, maintaining brand health and reputation, or effective storytelling? Is it about raising product/service awareness, pricing strategies, or the choice of promotional channels – whether above-the-line, below-the-line, or through digital and AI messaging? Or perhaps it’s about delivering a message like, ‘We hear you; let’s build a sustainable future, together.’

And how do you decide which aspect to market? Is it …

The product;
The price;
The place;
The promotion;
The people;
The positioning;
The process;
The parable;
The performance;
The promise?
OR, is it bits and pieces of all, or some, of the above?

This book delves into these questions, providing insights and guidance for creating comprehensive marketing strategies that resonate and drive success. In The Book Every Marketer Should Read our authors examine aspects of the original ‘4Ps of Marketing’ and transform this outdated 1960s framework into a dynamic, contemporary approach suited for the 21st century.

Start reading and make notes on what you can implement today to become a marketing maestro.

Emotion in Advertising - Theoretical and Practical Explorations (Hardcover, Annotated edition): Stuart Agres, Tony M. Dubitsky,... Emotion in Advertising - Theoretical and Practical Explorations (Hardcover, Annotated edition)
Stuart Agres, Tony M. Dubitsky, Julie A. Edell
R2,993 Discovery Miles 29 930 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Written by leading industry practitioners and academic researchers, this book explores the complex relationship between emotion and advertising. The chapters include both theoretical and empirical papers representing a broad spectrum of approaches and techniques. Some of the key topics include the measurement of mood, emotion and feeling in an advertising context, the effects of mood on recall and advertising effectiveness, the interaction of the message with the emotional make-up of the recipient, and the structural aspects of an ad and how they relate to emotional responses. Taken together, these papers represent the cutting edge of research in the area of advertising and emotion and a major contribution to the literature of consumer psychology.

The volume is organized into six general sections. Part I provides an overview of the ways in which emotions affect the advertising environment. The next group of chapters investigates how emotional responses to advertising can and should be measured. The third section is comprised of empirical chapters which examine such issues as the potential role of facial expression in the arousal of emotion, differential emotional responses to storyboards, animatics and finished commercials, and the impact on emotional response of the introductory position of the brand name and product category within a commercial. In Part IV, the contributors look at how the emotional reactions to ads affect other constructs or behavior of interest to advertisers, including message recall and attitude toward the ad. The following section contains two chapters that explicitly examine how the emotional make-up of the viewer interacts with the emotional fabric of the ad. The final chapter presents an overview of the role of consumer psychology in the social sciences. Ideal as a set of readings for graduate students and researchers in consumer psychology and advertising research, this book would also be invaluable as a supplemental text for advanced undergraduate or graduate courses in cognitive psychology, social psychology, mass media/communications/journalism, or family economics.

Tourism consumers are increasingly demanding and seek to base their travel decision-making process on relevant and credible tourism information. In recent years, user-generated content on social media, the opinion of travel bloggers, and entertainment programs in the media have influenced the public's travel purchasing behavior and acted as a driving force for the development of tourism products, such as film tourism. It also has played a role in the evolution and development of marketing, giving rise to new applications, as in the case of digital and influence marketing. On the other hand, tourism organizations and destination management organizations face major challenges in communicating the attributes of a tourism product, since this cannot be experienced before consumption. Thus, they need to know how and in which means or platforms of communication they can inform potential consumers. Impact of New Media in Tourism provides theoretical and practical contributions in tourism and communication including current research on the influence of new media and the active role of consumers in tourism. With a focus on decision making and increasing the visibility of products and destinations, the book provides support for tourism agencies and organizations around the world. Covering themes that include digital marketing, social media, and online branding, this book is essential for professionals, academicians, researchers, and students working or studying in the field of tourism and hospitality management, marketing, advertising, and media and communications.
