The historic rift between marketers and the finance department, caused by marketing’s reluctance to be accountable for what they do, is as marked as ever.
“Marketing in 3D” Deloitte
“Tense relations between CFOs and Marketers are dividing
boardrooms over the value of marketing.
One in three CFOs said they did not believe marketing to be crucial
in determining strategy”.
“Marketers have constantly hidden behind a fog of measures that are based purely on tactical
marketing activity, rather than solid financial metrics that are
relevant to the City”.

• “Much research is directed at technical refinement, which produces low risk, quick win publications that are largely irrelevant or incomprehensible to practitioners. The voice of academics is becoming weaker” (Hugh Wilmott of MBS)
• Robin Wensley said that marketing academics have had little impact.
• “A much wider understanding of the nature of the competitive market place is required, given that it is such a central phenomenon”
• Of ten issues, (confirmed by 3- academic papers and the MSI), only 4% were addressed in the top, 5 star rated academic journals.

• There are many excellent scientific journals devoted to neurosurgery. Month by month, they publish learned papers, each having been subjected to rigorous peer review, that chronicle the latest discoveries, hypotheses, case-studies and innovations in the neurosurgery world.
• And the shocking thing is this: they are never read by neurosurgeons.
• Patients are put at risk because of the apparent disdain that the practitioners have for academic theory and the accumulated wisdom of others.
• You’ll have read the above with growing incredulity. That can’t be true of neurosurgery, you think. And you’re right, thank God. It isn’t true. But in another trade, much closer to home, it very nearly is.

Marketing: existential malpractice and an etherised discipline; a sotereological comment
By: Professor Malcolm McDonald JMM Vol 20. 3-4. April 2004 ( pp 387-408 )
![Page 23: Mcdonald imp](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020107/5695d3e41a28ab9b029f8d40/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

In undertaking an in-depth perusal of the evolutionary interaction of this acronymic organisational communication, the dual orientation for the analysis paradoxically required an unashamed repositioning of the eclectic conceptual framework amongst the multi-disciplinary body of illuminative speculation in predominantly scholarly bureaucratisation. Yet, coincidentally, its empirical complexity had to remain relevant to the esoteric realities of postmodern professorial integrative antecedent development trends at appropriately conceptualised and operationally-implemented meta levels. Consequently, it was necessary to review the independently formulated psychometric traditions and to employ confidently the articulatedly-present phenomenological methodologies currently available for polysyllabic paradigm exploration. Unfortunately, the ensuing generalised multifaceted model for evaluation (in its specific systems dimension, naturally) had unexpectedly and unexplainably exploded – though not exhaustively. The major administrative atomistic components, suitably enumerated, are now, unfortunately, somewhat hindering the Assessor’s understanding process. However, tabulation analysis of the topography implicitly indicates that comprehensive evaluation of the interdenominational micro data has finally exhausted the course Assessor and any further critical, unbiased, postmodernistical review, will just have to wait until he has had a few strong gin and tonics! I suspect you may not know what this means, but I don’t really care, even if it takes you half an hour to decode it! I call this style ‘anorexia doctoratitis’ – an excessive desire to be more and more impressive verbally, leading to mental emaciation and, eventually, death.

• defining markets • quantifying the needs of the customer groups (segments) within
these markets • putting together the value propositions to meet these needs,
communicating these value propositions to all those people in the organisation responsible for delivering them and getting their buy-in to their role
• playing an appropriate part in delivering these value propositions (usually only communications)
• monitoring the value actually delivered. • For this process to be effective, organisations need to be
consumer/customer-driven

Differentiation is at the heart of successful marketing
For marketers, differentiation today is more
challenging than at any time in history – yet it remains at the heart of successful
marketing. More importantly, it remains the key to a company’s survival.

They innovate around core category benefits They make the brand famous and distinctive (easy to recognise) They make it easy to buy ( distribution and penetration ) In other words, they get the basics right
Branding as Customer Service Great brands do not differentiate just for the sake of differentiation
( Professor Malcolm McDonald, January 2011 )

shareholder value added, having taken account of
the risks associated with future strategies, the time
value of money and the cost of capital.

Justifying investment in marketing assets
Whilst accountants do not measure intangible assets, the discrepancy between market and book values shows that investors do. Expenditures to develop marketing assets make sense if the sum of the discounted cash flow they
generate is positive.

The Rational Consumer
20th century economics were based on the lunatic
assumption that humans are ‘rational’ i.e. they
calculate their maximum ‘utility’, using perfect
information to reach perfect decisions, i.e. A precise
point on a precise graph.

Everything an organisation does converges on the
business value proposition that is projected to the customer and is represented by the brand name.
The good thing about not having a powerful brand name is that failure comes as a complete surprise and is not preceded by a long period of worry and depression.
(Professor Malcolm McDonald )

• A brand is a name or a symbol on a product, service, person or place
• A successful brand creates super profits
• A successful global brand presents the same or similar message all over the world e.g McDonald’s, Mercedes, Coca Cola, IBM
• The brand is about the total experience, not the logo. Successful brands offer consistently superior value that is delivered by fair processes.

MARKETING IS NOT Selling Advertising Product Development Customer Service
MARKETING IS A dialogue over time with specific groups of customers, whose needs you understand in depth and for whom you develop an offer with a differential advantage over the offer of competitors

Customer Experience
Customer experience is defined by every touch point between a company and its customers, across all channels. Customer expectation can be damaged
during a single transaction if it is let down by even one channel (from Web site to email and then call centre). And the proliferation of channels means it is cheaper
and easier to find a better experience.

Successful brands
• Have a clear customer benefit • Make a promise and keep it • Have simplicity, clarity and honesty • Have distinctive logos and design • Are widely available • Build trust • Have a price/quality trade off – win/win • Help consumers make good decisions • Offer consistently superior value • Are about the total experience • Result ? Higher margins, higher volumes, innovation,
better quality

• In most cases brand choice is merely a mild feeling of preference, because we simply don’t care that much. Brands that elicit indifference
from consumers should be of most concern.

Tough times make people think more. Those companies who have confused customer habit with customer loyalty quickly discover that they are not the same. Unless underpinned by intrinsic quality, “added value” begins to seem little more than fancy packaging. Jeremy Bullmore, Market Leader, Quarter 3 2009 (pp. 15-16)

• “Even when your product is not that different, better or special, it’s the job of the marketer to make people think it’s different, better or special” (Sergio Zyman - former chief marketing officer, Coca Cola)

• “when you genuinely can’t add value for your customer (compared with what your competitors are offering), pull the wool over their eyes instead!”

There are many products that pretend to be brands, but are not the genuine article. As the Director of Marketing at TESCO said, “Pseudo brands are not brands. They are manufacturers’ labels. They are “me-toos” and have poor positioning, poor quality and poor support. Such manufacturers no longer understand the consumer and see retailers solely as a channel for distribution”
Marketing Globe Vol 2, No. 10. 1992.

What went wrong with many brands?
• Success led to smugness • Superior margins became the primary purpose • Cutting corners/reducing costs • Economical with the truth (eg. ‘low fat’, but no mention of high
sugar content) • Add some gold to the packaging (illusion of quality) • Made decision-making harder • Became the new commodities

Marks & Spencer’s Market Cap (from Bloomberg)
In 2004, M&S was in the throes of an attempted takeover by Arcadia Group & BHS boss, Philip Green. On 12 July a recovery plan was announced which would involve selling off the financial services business to HSBC Bank plc. Philip Green withdrew his takeover bid after failing to get sufficient backing from shareholders
Under the stewardship of Stewart Rose value in the business recovered up until the 2008 crisis

The danger of market research
Examples of hugely successful brands that originated their category but which failed disastrously in market research include: Sony Walkman; Baileys Irish Cream; Post-it; Red Bull; Cashpoint
machines; Perrier ( in the UK )
The consumer doesn't know what they want.

Excellent Marketing • Customer insights that lead
to the development of genuinely new products.
• Clear positioning and branding.
• Clear, honest marketing communications that make for easy access and availability.
Confusion Marketing • ‘New, improved’ products
that pretend to be different. • Confusing, emotional
communications to justify price premiums for parity products.
• Pricing strategies designed to make comparisons impossible.
• Distribution strategies that out obstacles in the way of choice.

Projected cash flows from investing in a promotion
DCF and NPV methods implicitly make this comparison
Assumed cash flow resulting from doing nothing
Companies should be making this comparison
More likely cash flow resulting from doing nothing
Note: Most executives compare the cash flow from promotion against the default scenario of doing nothing assuming, incorrectly, that the present health of the company will persist indefinitely if the investment is not made. For a better assessment of the promotion’s value, the comparison should be between the projected discounted cash flow and the more likely scenario of a decline in performance in the absence of promotional investment.

Market Risk Profile
• Product Category Existence
• Segment Existence
• Sales Volumes
• Forecast Growth
• Pricing Assumptions
The marketing strategy has a higher probability of success if the product category is well established
If the target segment is well established If the sales volumes are well supported by evidence If the forecast growth is in line with historical trends
If the pricing levels are conservative relative to current pricing levels

Market Share Risk Profile
• Target Market Definition
• Proposition Specification
• SWOT Alignment
• Strategy Uniqueness
• Anticipation of market change
The marketing strategy has a higher probability of success if the target is defined in terms of homogeneous segments and is characterised by utilisable data
If the proposition delivered to each segment is different from that delivered to other segments and addresses the needs which characterised the target segment
If the strengths and weaknesses of the organisation are independently assessed and the choice of target and proposition leverages strengths and minimises weaknesses
If choice of target and proposition is different from that of major competitors
If changes in the external microenvironment and macroenvironment are identified and their implications allowed for

Shareholder Value Risk Profile
• Profit Pool

The marketing strategy has a higher probability of success if the targeted profit pool is high and growing

If the profit impact on competitors is small and distributed
If the internal gross margin assumptions are conservative relative to current products
If assumptions regarding other costs, including marketing support, are higher than existing costs

Having taken account of the risks referred to above and having adjusted the forecast net free cash flows for
each major product for market for each year, have we calculated whether the strategic marketing plan
creates or destroys shareholder value?

Valuing Key Market Segments
89
Background/Facts • Risk and return are positively correlated, ie. as risk increases, investors require a higher return. • Risk is measured by the volatility in returns, ie. high risk is the likelihood of either making a very good return or losing all your money. This can be described as the quality of returns. • All assets are defined as having future value to the organisation. Hence assets to be valued include not only tangible assets like plant and machinery, but intangible assets, such as Key Market Segments. • The present value of future cash flows is the most acceptable method to value assets including key market segments. • The present value is increased by: - increasing the future cash flows - making the future cash flows ‘happen’ earlier - reducing the risk in these cash flows, ie. improving the certainty of these cash flows, and, hence, reducing the required rate of return.
![Page 90: Mcdonald imp](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020107/5695d3e41a28ab9b029f8d40/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)

Suggested Approach • Identify your key market segments. It is helpful if they can be classified on a vertical axis (a kind of thermometer) according to their attractiveness to your company. ‘Attractiveness’ usually means the potential of each for growth in your profits over a period of between 3 and 5 years. (See the attached matrix) • Based on your current experience and planning horizon that you are confident with, make a projection of future net free cash in-flows from your segments. It is normal to select a period such as 3 or 5 years. • These calculations will consist of three parts:
• revenue forecasts for each year; • cost forecasts for each year; • net free cash flow for each segment for each year.
• Identify the key factors that are likely to either increase or decrease these future cash flows. • These factors are likely to be assessed according to the following factors:
• the riskiness of the product/market segment relative to its position on the ANSOFF matrix; • the riskiness of the marketing strategies to achieve the revenue and market share; • the riskiness of the forecast profitability (e.g. the cost forecast accuracy ).
• Now recalculate the revenues, costs and net free cash flows for each year, having adjusted the figures using the risks (probabilities) from the above. • Ask your accountant to provide you with the overall SBU cost of capital and capital used in the SBU. This will not consist only of tangible assets. Thus, £1,000,000 capital at a required shareholder rate of return of 10% would give £100,000 as the minimum return necessary. • Deduct the proportional cost of capital from the free cash flow for each segment for each year.
• An aggregate positive net present value indicates that you are creating shareholder value – ie. achieving overall returns greater than the weighted average cost of capital, having taken into account the risk associated with future cash flows.

A great brand is the Holy Grail, the distillation of years
of creativity, sweat, ambition and investment.
Not so much a logo, more a way of life, a way of being,
a way of doing business: a great brand conveys
everything that in your finest dreams you want your
customers to understand about your business and
product.
