What would your boss say
If you spent over $200 million on a marketing and advertising campaign and your market share
increased 0.2% ?
![Page 3: Why is there so much really bad marketing out there?](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/554b5bdcb4c905793d8b4f48/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Maybe…
![Page 4: Why is there so much really bad marketing out there?](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/554b5bdcb4c905793d8b4f48/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Yet it’s happening today
Progressive insurance spent over $200 million on the “Flo” marketing campaign and their
market share went up 0.2%
![Page 5: Why is there so much really bad marketing out there?](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/554b5bdcb4c905793d8b4f48/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
And all they can say is that
Progressive insurance consideration rose 23%
and its brand impressions rose by
18% ?

Are there really that many dumb people out there ?
![Page 7: Why is there so much really bad marketing out there?](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/554b5bdcb4c905793d8b4f48/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Judging from all the bad marketing the answer to that would be “yes” !
![Page 8: Why is there so much really bad marketing out there?](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/554b5bdcb4c905793d8b4f48/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
But what are the reasons for really bad marketing today ?
![Page 9: Why is there so much really bad marketing out there?](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/554b5bdcb4c905793d8b4f48/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Overreliance on outdated marketing metrics ?
Marketers have grown comfortable with formulas like gross ratings points, frequency, awareness and intent, time-tested formulas for building brands
in traditional media.
![Page 10: Why is there so much really bad marketing out there?](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/554b5bdcb4c905793d8b4f48/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Old metrics like those are not relevant today
A lot of people are aware of Mercedes and intend to buy one but first they need to hit the
lottery !!
![Page 11: Why is there so much really bad marketing out there?](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/554b5bdcb4c905793d8b4f48/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Some believe that “doing something” is better than doing nothing
![Page 12: Why is there so much really bad marketing out there?](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/554b5bdcb4c905793d8b4f48/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
But they forget that
Marketing costs money & unless the marketing is smart, on point and creates a substantial ROI, marketing is just a way to camouflage the
act of throwing thousand dollar bills out the window.
![Page 13: Why is there so much really bad marketing out there?](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/554b5bdcb4c905793d8b4f48/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The recession has created fear in a lot of marketers
The recession has created fearful employees who have become note takers and task masters rather than Linchpins who challenge conventional marketing
thinking and execution
![Page 14: Why is there so much really bad marketing out there?](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/554b5bdcb4c905793d8b4f48/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
As well as brand new consumer values that a lot of marketers chose to ignore
The working middle class is suffering and is distrustful of brands and marketing. Wages are stagnant Job security is gone Stress is a lot higher
Healthcare costs are going up
![Page 15: Why is there so much really bad marketing out there?](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/554b5bdcb4c905793d8b4f48/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
And with all these changes things going on
Way too many marketers are “following the instructions” and not thinking. They are afraid to be responsible for
decisions and they have left their passion for marketing at home.
![Page 16: Why is there so much really bad marketing out there?](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/554b5bdcb4c905793d8b4f48/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Because business has created a white collar factory
Their marketing is planned, controlled, measured and it’s
optimized for productivity not around consumers.
It has become more important to be loved by coworkers than it is to be take intellectual risks.
![Page 17: Why is there so much really bad marketing out there?](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/554b5bdcb4c905793d8b4f48/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
It’s often easier to say the four words that can kill an entire business
“It’s not my job”
![Page 18: Why is there so much really bad marketing out there?](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/554b5bdcb4c905793d8b4f48/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Too many agencies have not become strategic brand partners
Great agencies are the ones who win lots of awards. So choose
them.
![Page 19: Why is there so much really bad marketing out there?](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/554b5bdcb4c905793d8b4f48/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Then there are
The people who want to get their name in the trade press because it looks good on a resume.
![Page 20: Why is there so much really bad marketing out there?](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/554b5bdcb4c905793d8b4f48/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
And finally too many do the politically correct thing instead of asking “why?”
![Page 21: Why is there so much really bad marketing out there?](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/554b5bdcb4c905793d8b4f48/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
What’s needed to make marketing valuable and relevant again ?
![Page 22: Why is there so much really bad marketing out there?](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/554b5bdcb4c905793d8b4f48/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Find people who are passionate about marketing and customer satisfaction
![Page 23: Why is there so much really bad marketing out there?](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/554b5bdcb4c905793d8b4f48/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Who can balance brand objectives with a great customer experience
Brand Objectives
Customer Experience

And are willing to take calculated risks to try new ways to engage consumers
![Page 25: Why is there so much really bad marketing out there?](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/554b5bdcb4c905793d8b4f48/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Learn to listen to consumers and customers again
![Page 26: Why is there so much really bad marketing out there?](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/554b5bdcb4c905793d8b4f48/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
And integrate social media into your business strategy
![Page 27: Why is there so much really bad marketing out there?](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/554b5bdcb4c905793d8b4f48/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Because the value of social media is it's the richest data set that's ever existed
What's a Facebook friend worth? What does a chat with someone on Twitter
actually do for our brand objectives? According to an ExactTarget survey of
1,000 marketers, 70% said they plan to increase spending in social media, but less than 20% said they could effectively measure ROI.
Companies using reputation as a measure of success are more likely to be shifting budget to social media. That tells you something about the mind-set."
ROI isn't the thing that's pushing people to social media.
![Page 28: Why is there so much really bad marketing out there?](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/554b5bdcb4c905793d8b4f48/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
But don’t think that social media is going to solve all your marketing problems
The company said the only market segment to experience a decline in market share for the company was the North American market space, declining by 1-
percent from the same period last year.
![Page 29: Why is there so much really bad marketing out there?](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/554b5bdcb4c905793d8b4f48/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Social media alone is not going to save your brand
![Page 30: Why is there so much really bad marketing out there?](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/554b5bdcb4c905793d8b4f48/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Increasing budgets for channels in which you can’t measure ROI is wasteful
![Page 31: Why is there so much really bad marketing out there?](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/554b5bdcb4c905793d8b4f48/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Understand what consumers want from brands on social media
![Page 32: Why is there so much really bad marketing out there?](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/554b5bdcb4c905793d8b4f48/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
And measure everything you do continually to stay relevant to consumers
![Page 33: Why is there so much really bad marketing out there?](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/554b5bdcb4c905793d8b4f48/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
There are a lot of barriers to social media adoption by companies
![Page 34: Why is there so much really bad marketing out there?](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/554b5bdcb4c905793d8b4f48/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

problems taking the initiative on

Because marketing today is the sum
of the least expense that results in the highest ROI.
![Page 36: Why is there so much really bad marketing out there?](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/554b5bdcb4c905793d8b4f48/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Lessons of Toyota should be a warning to all companies
Reputations that took decades to build can be damaged in a short time.
The organization needs to be able to respond to weak signals (problems) before they become strong signals.
As you expand and grow never lose focus of your customers.
Toyota drivers have gone from being customers of the company to being wards of the government. Don’t give loyal brand customers reasons to look at other brands.
![Page 37: Why is there so much really bad marketing out there?](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/554b5bdcb4c905793d8b4f48/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
If you can’t learn the lessons from others you could leave a lot of nails
![Page 38: Why is there so much really bad marketing out there?](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/554b5bdcb4c905793d8b4f48/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Marketing is not a science anymore It’s an art
Some see just a bridge over a pond while others see a moment
captured on canvas in all its beauty.
Marketing is nothing but a platform for art and the
emotional labor that goes with it.
![Page 39: Why is there so much really bad marketing out there?](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/554b5bdcb4c905793d8b4f48/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Most artists can’t draw
Most artists can’t draw but an artist is someone who uses bravery, insight, creativity and boldness to challenge the status quo. An an artist takes it
personally. Seth Godin, Linchpin, 2010
