What Sticks: Why Most Advertising Fails and How to Guarantee Yours Succeeds

by Rex Briggs

What Sticks: Why Most Advertising Fails and How to Guarantee Yours Succeeds Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

What Sticks is the one book that explains exactly how marketing and advertising works today!  Based on new insights from analysis of over $1 billion worth of advertising.

 

 

Decades ago it was okay to believe, as retail magnate John Wanamaker did, that “Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is, I dont know which half.” However, today the stakes are much higher. Marketing thought leaders Rex Briggs and Greg Stuart estimate that $112 billion in advertising spending in the U.S. alone is wasted, cutting deeply into company profits.

 

What Sticks uncovers bold new insights from the largest-ever global marketing research project among 30 Fortune 200 companies, including: Procter & Gamble, Johnson & Johnson, Kraft, McDonalds, Unilever, Ford and others. This is a comprehensive and solutions-oriented book that outlines how any marketer, at any level, can guarantee their advertising succeeds.

 

Marketers cannot ignore the findings or the solutions revealed in What Sticks, such as:

* Why 47% of the advertising campaigns studied didnt work and what you can do to guarantee yours does

* How to spend the same advertising budget, but get better results

* How to get your CFO and CEO to eagerly increase your marketing & advertising budget

* How to forecast next years advertising budget (Hint: Its not by using last years spending!)

* How to immediately fix your advertising by applying these principles and real nuggets of wisdom

Book News Annotation:

Based on a research project, this volume details what works and what doesn't in marketing campaigns. The project covered approximately 30 marketers, their agents and media partners, including Ford, ESPN, Proctor & Gamble, Colgate, Kraft, Johnson & Johnson, and Volkswagen. Authors describe new approaches to improving marketing productivity and other ideas drawn from this research. They outline the problems facing marketing, such as culture, organizational challenges, and lack of knowledge storehouses; their solution, called the Communication Optimization Process, which aligns goals and plans; and specific actions to guarantee effective advertising, including understanding customer motivations, messages that stick, and media strategies. Briggs is affiliated with a marketing effectiveness and consulting firm, and Stuart is affiliated with a global advertising association. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Synopsis:

The magnitude of waste in advertising is staggering: $85 billion each year. This book will demonstrate how to spend advertising dollars effectively, offering practical, hands-on solutions based on the authors' $4 million dollars' worth of recent landmark research--extensive, "proprietary" research--to measure the effectiveness of advertising and to help optimize ad spending. Authors Rick Briggs and Greg Stuart have worked with 20 of the bluest, blue-chip advertisers (from small-ticket products from Procter & Gamble to big-ticket vehicles from Ford), using a four-step continuous improvement process--COP (Communications Optimization Process)--created by the authors. This book and their research puts more science into marketing, making success more predictable, more certain, giving greater results for often less money than companies were previously spending on marketing and advertising.
