Advertising, just like medicine and engineering, is a universal discipline of study, providing insight into understanding the business process anywhere in the world. Ideally, due to its universal nature, that is how advertising should be taught. For decades, marketers and advertisers have amassed an array of strategies, tactics, and principles that, it is claimed, can be applied to any particular advertising campaign. In today s technological world, the challenge is to apply that knowledge to the discipline of online advertising, the assumption being that there is no need to claim any special status for a specific marketing effort such as sports, electronics, or clothing. Online Advertising and Promotion: Modern Technologies for Marketing educates executives and students on how to meet online advertising and Internet marketing challenges for both present and future tactics. The book will outline the changes and challenges that have impacted how online advertising decisions are being made and how decision-makers are getting their information in an online world.

Agile Marketing - How to Innovate Faster, Cheaper and with Lower Risk (Hardcover): Anthony Freeling Agile Marketing - How to Innovate Faster, Cheaper and with Lower Risk (Hardcover)
Anthony Freeling
R1,496 Discovery Miles 14 960 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Marketing has for years promised to generate growth and transform business. This promise has been backed by increasing amounts of money spent on innovation, advertising and other forms of communication, as well as people. Yet marketers and general managers alike see that most new products and communication campaigns fail and worry that this huge spend on marketing might be wasted. They also worry that they are slow to react to changes in the customer and competitive environment. In this book, full of case studies and practical advice, Anthony Freeling argues that the problem lies in the usual approach to marketing strategy. Agile Marketing develops an approach, inspired by evolution, to do marketing and to innovate, that is better, faster and cheaper. The marketing community glories in "big leaps" towards radically different offers and communication programs. Dr Freeling argues that this is too risky. It is based on a generally misplaced belief that marketers can predict their customers' and competitors' future actions. In nature, creatures evolve by continuously making changes and keeping those changes that are fittest to survive in their environment. The book describes how to use a continuous process of fast, practical "test, learn and commit (TLC) loops" of marketing experiments to change marketing offers. These adapted offers are fittest to survive in their environment - the marketplace. The book also considers when other forms of marketing such as guerilla marketing should be used. Dr Freeling shows how to implement Agile Marketing and when Agile Marketing is best and when classic marketing is best. The author also provides advice on the necessary organizational and cultural changes that will be required to adopt Agile Marketing successfully.

Rebecca C Hains, Nancy A. Jennings
R3,635 Discovery Miles 36 350 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book offers rich critical perspectives on the marketing of a variety of toys, brands, and product categories. Topics include marketing undertaken by specific children's toy brands such as American Girl, Barbie, Disney, GoldieBlox, Fisher-Price, and LEGO, and marketing trends characterizing broader toy categories such as on-trend grotesque toys; toy firearms; minimalist toys; toyetics; toys meant to offer diverse representation; STEM toys; and unboxing videos. Toy marketing warrants a sustained scholarly critique because of toys' cultural significance and their roles in children's lives, as well as the industry's economic importance. Discourses surrounding toys-including who certain toys are meant for and what various toys and brands can signify about their owners' identities-have implications for our understandings of adults' expectations of children and of broader societal norms into which children are being socialized.

R895 Discovery Miles 8 950 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Following the success of the first two editions, Age of Conversation 3: It's Time to Get Busy again kick-starts the discussion about how the global marketing landscape is changing. With over 170 of the world's leading marketers, writers, thinkers and creative innovators contributing chapters, this collaborative work investigates the roles that community, conversation, experimentation, engagement, and collaboration play in shaping the 21st century's economy of ideas. As businesses, public and private organizations, and individuals realize that there's much more to social media and its impacts than meets the eye, Age of Conversation 3 shows us which platforms, tools, and approaches truly work, as well as those that simply don't. "Social media" may be the business buzzword (or, buzz-phrase) of 2010, but what's happening beyond the hype? What new practices and guidelines is social media imposing on business-as-usual? And what makes this type of media so much different than the media we're all used to? From the boardroom to the locus of customer interaction, social media is transforming the way we do business. The impact of this is being felt in every customer interaction, each business decision, and even in the way we source, retain and engage our staffs. This third book in the Age of Conversation series is crowdsourced, bringing together the world's leading practitioners to share their stories, perspectives, observations, and strategies. Their diverse insights and varying approaches are a reflection of the global, changing nature of business today.

Academics in the area of marketing and tourism as well as development studies will appreciate the contribution this book will make to the wider marketing discourse that circulates about rural destinations.

Highlights the trailers, merchandising and cultural conversations that shape our experiences of film and television It is virtually impossible to watch a movie or TV show without preconceived notions because of the hype that precedes them, while a host of media extensions guarantees them a life long past their air dates. An onslaught of information from print media, trailers, internet discussion, merchandising, podcasts, and guerilla marketing, we generally know something about upcoming movies and TV shows well before they are even released or aired. The extras, or "paratexts," that surround viewing experiences are far from peripheral, shaping our understanding of them and informing our decisions about what to watch or not watch and even how to watch before we even sit down for a show. Show Sold Separately gives critical attention to this ubiquitous but often overlooked phenomenon, examining paratexts like DVD bonus materials for The Lord of the Rings, spoilers for Lost, the opening credits of The Simpsons, Star Wars actions figures, press reviews for Friday Night Lights, the framing of Batman Begins, the videogame of The Thing, and the trailers for The Sweet Hereafter. Plucking these extra materials from the wings and giving them the spotlight they deserve, Jonathan Gray examines the world of film and television that exists before and after the show.

First of all, the level everyone understands isthat an executive is the person who is responsiblefor policy and direction of a departmentalfunction. I call this the functional silo. Theyare in charge and lead the Sales and Marketingeffort, the Manufacturing Division, the R&Defforts, the financial function or various otherareas. Each has the primary responsibility forestablishing policy and direction within theirdepartment making certain that BOTH support theoverall corporate direction. Their efforts anddecisions in this functional silo are not basedon the slickness or sexiness of a particulartechnology or application, but rather on itsoverall ability to bring their silo into alignmentwith the corporation's strategic intent.But this is only part of their job. There isa second part which carries a greater deal ofinvolvement and time investment. When you are ableto recognize and understand this, it will createmore value opportunities for you. Executives mustalso establish policy and direction at the corporatelevel. I call this the corporate strategic silo.This corporate silo always takes precedence overthe functional silo. If the two ever come intoconflict, the corporate silo always wins. Perhapsthis might explain why salespeople who go into ameeting with an executive to "pitch their wares,"and are addressing the impact they can bring to thefunctional department silo lose the executive'sinterest. While this "stuff," (which is how theexecutives usually describe it), is important tothe salesperson and possibly the functional silo, it does not capture the executive's attention, or address the value they most care about or arelooking for. The response that usually followssounds something like, "This is very interesting.I would like you to continue this discussion withmy Director of Manufacturing," thus effectivelyGET OUT OF MY OFFICE 31ending the opportunity for you to build any kindof relationship with this executive. Understandthat relationships will be built based on thevalue you can offer. For the executive the valuethat would cause them to entertain the idea of therelationship will be separate from the impact youmay have on their functional silo. Remember, theirprimary responsibility, by definition, will be thecorporate silo. They will have others to managethe functional aspects of the corporation.I have used the word "primary" several times andit bears some explanation. I am trying to conveythat executives have multiple responsibilities.Sometimes it will be necessary to get theircoveralls on and go down into the bowels of theship. While they may often have to make theseroad trips, please don't confuse this with thechance for you to bring in your value propositionand have it fall on eager and accepting ears.Executives are NOT managers. They have people totake care of the tactical efforts of a functionor project. The executive will LEAD and determinethe direction of the silo and team up with theircolleagues to lead the company.When people get a meeting with an executive, they typically have a conversation that addressesthe executive not from the corporate silo butrather as the highest-ranking manager of thefunctional silo. Yes the executive can and willtalk the talk, look the look and walk the walk, with technical, functional silo language, but atthe end of the day the value that they are lookingfor as an executive has not been addressed in thistype of exchange.Allow me to illustrate this in another way.Have you ever wondered why there is such a hugedifference in compensation between executives andthe rest of the organization? The typical companyhas a pay scale that is used for all employees.32 KEVIN L. STINSONFrom the lowest level employee to the highestsenior management position, there might be 20
