In Marketing, sometimes the Problem isn’t the problem - @SparkAlchemy The hardest part of behavior change is often identifying the exact problem we should be addressing. Don't assume going in that you already have the "solution." linkedin.com/pulse/marketing…

I'm with Brian.
Cadbury hopes to get consumers to "choose to engage with something" while building "brand love" My friend Brian has some advice for them: link.medium.com/9LnZHmiqw1 "To put a not-too-fine-a-point on it, please, PLEASE, if you wouldn’t mind, awfully. Leave me alone. Thanks."

A great example of how we're all "cognitive misers". If there's a quick way, our brains will go for it. Even if it's wrong! This can be explored and exploited by advertising. #Advertising #Marketing

The best question to ask in many businesses today is does this type of company need to exist or is it an evolutionary dead end. The mass market doesn’t need better department stores, travel agents, newsagents, record stores, insurance agents. Don’t improve. Start again

Excellent piece questioning whether there's any value in regularly tracking metrics that rarely move (beyond a sampling wobble) or which can be predicted by a single measure: market penetration. blog.oup.com.au/2017/09/mean…
