Can't Sell Won't Sell: Advertising, Politics and Culture Wars. Why Adland Has Stopped Selling and Started Saving the World by Steve Harrison

About the Book:

Our politics dictate the ads we create and distance us from our audience. The advertising industry has lost interest in selling. According to the IPA, we face "a crisis of effectiveness." And our politics are to blame.

We are now so culturally left-leaning, we're no longer willing to stoke capitalism's engine of growth. Instead, we have a new raison d'etre: we're saving the world.

But who are the activists and careerists who are pushing this progressive agenda? And what of the angry mainstream who are alienated by the ideas we're imposing upon them?

Most urgently, as our clients emerge from the pandemic recession, will advertising rediscover its commercial purpose and help them revive the UK economy?

Or will our agencies and institutions double down on social purpose and the monoculture that's suffocating a once brilliantly creative industry and forcing it to the margins of British business and cultural life?

About the Author:

According to Wikipedia, “Steve Harrison is a British copywriter, creative director and author who is regarded by Campaign Magazine as the greatest Direct Marketing Creative of his generation. He has won more Cannes Lions awards than any other Creative Director in the World.”

Steve Harrison was European Creative Director (OgilvyOne) and Global Creative Director (Wunderman) on either side of starting his own agency, Harrison Troughton Wunderman (HTW).

He has also authored Changing the World Is the Only Fit Work for a Grown Man; How to Write Better Copy; and How to Do Better Creative Work.

And, interesting fact - he has a doctorate in American history!

"Content Marketing for PR: How to Build Brand Visibility, Influence, and Trust in Today’s Social Age" by Trevor Young

Are you struggling to cut through the noise and convey your message to the marketplace?

We live in a fast-paced, digital-first world cluttered with brands and individuals telling the world how great they are. It’s no wonder consumers are so cynical and distrustful. They resent being interrupted with meaningless ads, pitches, and promotional messages. They simply don’t care about you or your business—because you haven’t given them a reason to. Meanwhile, marketers and PR pros are beginning to accept that many of the methods they’ve been using to reach potential customers and influencers simply don’t work anymore.

Bottom line: Standing out, getting noticed, and resonating in the marketplace is a growing challenge for businesses and organizations, large and small. Trust and reputation have never been more important in business.

Learn how to harness the power of both public relations and content marketing to build recognition, influence, and credibility for your business, organization, or personal brand.

In this book, veteran public relations practitioner and marketing speaker Trevor Young—aka “The PR Warrior”—shows you how to strategically use content marketing for PR to:

  • Humanize your company or organization
  • Deepen the connection your brand has with consumers
  • Grow your influence within the industry you operate
  • Build familiarity and trust in the marketplace
  • Connect with the people who influence your clients and customers
  • Increase new business leads and sales
  • Reduce the customer’s buying cycle
  • Make paid-for advertising work harder

Written for entrepreneurs, change agents, business leaders, marketers and PR practitioners, Content Marketing for PR is your essential guide to building a visible brand that’s recognized, respected, and relevant in today’s noisy social world.

About the Book:

When it comes to your relationship with marketing, it’s time to wipe the slate clean.

You’ve been promised big results with a quick turnaround. You’ve been told that social media is a silver bullet for increased sales (so far, you haven’t seen an impact).

Your marketing team and vendors have overpromised and underdelivered, and you’re disappointed. You’re frustrated.

Perhaps you’re close to giving up on marketing entirely, but something tells you that you shouldn’t — you just need to know how to use it wisely.

In Lies, Damned Lies, and Marketing, Atul Minocha reveals the root causes of your frustration and provides you with the insight you need to utilize your marketing dollars for real results.

He helps you understand why you need marketing, the important distinctions between marketing and sales, and how to attain the right blend of hard data and softer creativity to persuade your audience.

Bringing with him more than thirty-five years of experience, Atul shows you how to make marketing work for you and finally achieve the results you’ve been waiting for.

About the Author:

Atul Minocha is a partner at Chief Outsiders, a marketing consulting firm that helps CEOs accelerate growth through strategic planning, customer insight, and disciplined execution of well-crafted marketing plans.

The AI Playbook: Mastering the Rare Art of Machine Learning Deployment by Eric Siegel

ABOUT THE BOOK:

In his bestselling first book, Eric Siegel explained how machine learning works. Now, in The AI Playbook, he shows how to capitalize on it.

The greatest tool is the hardest to use. Machine learning is the world's most important general-purpose technology—but it's notoriously difficult to launch.

Outside Big Tech and a handful of other leading companies, machine learning initiatives routinely fail to deploy, never realizing value.

What's missing? A specialized business practice suitable for wide adoption.

In The AI Playbook, bestselling author Eric Siegel presents the gold-standard, six-step practice for ushering machine learning projects from conception to deployment.

He illustrates the practice with stories of success and of failure, including revealing case studies from UPS, FICO, and prominent dot-coms.

This disciplined approach serves both sides: It empowers business professionals, and it establishes a sorely needed strategic framework for data professionals.

Beyond detailing the practice, this book also upskills business professionals—painlessly.

It delivers a vital yet friendly dose of semi-technical background knowledge that all stakeholders need to lead or participate in machine learning projects, end to end.

This puts business and data professionals on the same page so that they can collaborate deeply, jointly establishing precisely what machine learning is called upon to predict, how well it predicts, and how its predictions are acted upon to improve operations.

These essentials make or break each initiative—getting them right paves the way for machine learning's value-driven deployment.

A note from the author:

What kind of AI does this book cover? The buzzword AI can mean many things, but this book is about machine learning, which is a central basis for—and what many mean by—AI. To be specific, this book covers the most vital use cases of machine learning, those designed to improve a wide range of business operations.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Eric Siegel, Ph.D. is a leading consultant and former Columbia University professor who helps companies deploy machine learning.

He is the founder of the long-running Machine Learning Week conference series, the instructor of the acclaimed online course “Machine Learning Leadership and Practice – End-to-End Mastery,” executive editor of The Machine Learning Times, and a frequent keynote speaker.

His previous book is the bestselling "Predictive Analytics: The Power to Predict Who Will Click, Buy, Lie, or Die," which has been used in courses at hundreds of universities and was featured on episode 74 of The Marketing Book Podcast in 2016.

Eric’s interdisciplinary work bridges the stubborn technology/business gap. At Columbia, he won the Distinguished Faculty award when teaching graduate computer science courses in ML and AI. Later, he served as a business school professor at the University of Virginia Darden School of Business.

Eric's many media appearances include Bloomberg TV and Radio, Business News Network (Canada), Israel National Radio, NPR Marketplace, Radio National (Australia), Businessweek, CBS MoneyWatch, The European Business Review, The Financial Times, Forbes, Harvard Business Review, The Huffington Post, The New York Times, Newsweek, Scientific American, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post.

And, interesting fact – he is a dancing machine!

The Brand Benefits Playbook: Why Customers Aren't Buying What You're Selling--And What to Do About It by Allen Weiss and Debbie MacInnis

ABOUT THE BOOK:

From two of the world’s leading experts on branding, brand benefits, and positioning, this strategic guide reveals how focusing on brand benefits can transform organizations and help them win in the marketplace.

Today’s customers think less about products and more about brands, no matter whether those brands are organizational, nonprofit, individuals, or service-oriented.

Customers also care less about the features of your product—what it has—than about its benefits—what it does for them.

While this sounds like common sense, shockingly few organizations actually conduct business this way.

Drs. Allen Weiss and Debbie J. MacInnis, professors and branding, brand benefits, and positioning experts, are about to change that.

In The Brand Benefits Playbook, Weiss and MacInnis help readers understand, and transition to, a benefits-based model.

This focus on customer benefits will teach organizations:

  • What market they are in (or could be operating in)
  • How customers perceive their brand (and that of their competitors) in terms of benefits
  • The most effective way to segment a market and position a brand in terms of benefits
  • How to deliver benefits throughout the customer journey
  • How a focus on benefits facilitates growth

Evidence-based, integrated, and simple, this innovative approach can be applied to all markets—and ensures that any brand can deliver the benefits its customers truly want.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Allen Weiss, PhD, is the founder and CEO of MarketingProfs, LLC, the largest B2B marketing training, consulting, and event company dedicated to helping large organizations, teams, and individuals execute marketing campaigns that drive actual results.

He is also a consultant, conference speaker, and Emeritus Professor at USC. Dr. Weiss has developed a rigorous process for benefit positioning in his consulting with global technology companies.

His work can be seen in tech brands including Intel and Texas Instruments, and categories like banks and insurance companies.

And, interesting facts - he has an engineering degree and was in a band that opened for major recording acts like Lynyrd Skynyrd Bonnie Raitt, and Kenny Loggins!

The Sticking Point Solution: 9 Ways to Move Your Business from Stagnation to Stunning Growth by Jay Abraham

Businesses can plateau, stall, or stagnate...without the owners or key executives even realizing it. A business might be achieving incremental year-on-year growth and yet still be in a situation of stagnation or stall. Why? Because entrepreneurs and executives often focus on the wrong things and don't know how to solve the problems that get their businesses stuck.

The purpose of The Sticking Point Solution is to help entrepreneurs and executives recognize the ways in which their businesses may be stuck, and to then give them tools for getting unstuck and enjoying exponential growth.

To achieve this, Jay will help you to identify the nine "sticking points." They are:

  1. stuck losing out to competitors instead of taking the lead in their marketplaces
  2. stuck at low levels of sales instead of selling wisely and selling more
  3. stuck with erratic sales volume instead of thinking strategically and systematically about their businesses
  4. stuck failing to strategize instead of managing their efforts wisely
  5. stuck with high overhead and costs instead of leveraging the assets of other companies, including the competition
  6. stuck with doing more of what doesn't work instead of innovating and trying new approaches
  7. stuck by getting marginalized and commoditized in the marketplace instead of becoming distinctive in their fields
  8. stuck with antiquated, mediocre marketing instead of using what works today
  9. stuck trying to do everything themselves instead of leveraging the talents of other individuals and organizations

Whether businesses are afflicted by one, two, or all nine of these sticking points listed above, the result is the same: the owners, executives, or entrepreneurs are not achieving all of the growth, success, and prosperity they deserve. Unlocking that true potential is the impetus for The Sticking Point Solution.

Unfiltered Marketing: 5 Rules to Win Back Trust, Credibility, and Customers in a Digitally Distracted World by Stephen Denny and Paul Leinberger

You can fake authenticity. But in this digitally saturated age, your customers will see through any misdirection.

As we are constantly on our electronic devices, we have come to distrust curated media and traditional PR.

Stephen Denny and Paul Leinberger have found that people now want to make their own decisions based on raw footage, real-time updates, and unfiltered livestreams.

How, then, do marketing executives and others gain consumer trust? These Fortune 500 consultants present the answer in Unfiltered Marketing.

Drawing on four years of global research, Denny and Leinberger have developed a comprehensive five-step process for successfully rehumanizing the digital brand experience and gaining customer loyalty.

To follow it, companies must understand that consumers are (1) seeking control in an out-of-control world; and executives must rework their brand to be (2) unscripted, (3) in-process, and (4) in-context, in order to master (5) heroic credibility (brands standing by their philosophy and values).

Abiding by these rules, businesses follow in the successful footsteps of brands like Patagonia, T-Mobile, adidas, GoDaddy, and others.

Unfiltered Marketing's big ideas apply to business strategy, marketing, and the future of the brand/consumer relationship. It is a playbook for managers and for anyone interested in the ever-changing interaction between technology and culture.
