INTRODUCTION

EMM EXPERT

MARKETER

MAGAZINE

WHAT? EMM is a magazine about marketing books and marketing authors. It provides Vision, Knowledge and Wisdom in a handy digital magazine full of hyperlinks to more detailed information.

EMM offers marketers all the right tools for them to select the right marketing book which is right for him/her at that moment of their specific need. Key components include: - Marketing Book reviews with free chapters, thorough analysis and presentations - Marketing authors columns, interviews, articles and quotes - Book Ordering made easy via hyperlinks to several online book stores

WHY? EMM strongly believes in reading the right professional book on a regular basis.

These days , there’s a lot published for free on the internet but we believe that books, for which an author conducts a thorough investigation of often several years, is a profounder basis to develop one’s career. We see it this way: “Today’s Readers are Tomorrow’s Leaders.”

Marketing is an evolving business and marketers should evolve with their discipline.

Marketers know and admit they should read more but they don’t have time to read and certainly no time to figure out which are the right books, let alone purchase them.

6

HOW IT WORKS? Leveraging the interactive beneďŹ ts of a digital magazine, every article, every page, every book,... links to more information on the website of EMM. EMM selects the best marketing books from the last quarter and is grouping these around general marketing themes such as branding, communications, consumer behaviour, pricing, ... Depending upon the offer of that quarter, the subjects are chosen for a respective magazine.

The magazine is sold on an hoc basis (single issue) or in a subscription (single or multi-year options available).

The key advantages to starting a subscription is the accessibility to far more data on the site as well as access to the EMM library. The EMM library provides an extensive selection of the best marketing books. It has a robust search engine function that enables you to search on various criteria the magazine uses to analyse every book that features in the magazine.

Not only is the magazine interactive with the website, there’s also interactivity with the readers/ members: - Members can write and read reviews of featured books - Members can suggest new titles for o The magazine (should be max 3 months old since publications) o The EMM library (should be a MUST READ with a recommendation).

Try it out and step into the world of marketing wisdom.

BRANDING In this section on branding, targeting and innovation we have 3 very different but interesting books.

Clyde Fessler is a legend and the brand he rebuild and managed is more then a legend, it’s a myth...

Harley Davidson, King of the road is a great story on how to build and maintain a powerful brand. A brand that sits in the hearts of it’s users. No need to develop brand advocates for Harley Davidson ; every proud owner IS an advocate.

In the Lure of Luxe, Phillips Jordan opens up a new world of Luxe wich is completely different to the world of Luxe in the past.

New consumers, new brands and new opportunities in a global perspective.

Fascinated about fashion and curious about the world of luxury as a teenager, Phillips Jordan is breathing the lure of Luxe.

Third book in this section is Leapfrogging from Soren Kaplan. Leapfrogging meaning ‘creating or doing something radically different that produces a significant leap forward’.

Two core learnings in the book: 1. Embrace ‘Surprise’ (be honest, most business leaders hate and therefore avoid surprise and by doing this, they install a surprise-avoiding-company-culture) 2. The LEAPS process: Listen (also to yourself!), Explore (go outside!), Act (take small steps but keep taking them!), Persist (learn from failure!) and Seize (also the journey is fascinating!).

August 2012

Today’s business climate demands breakthroughs, not incremental improvements. What makes one leader or company thrive while others languish in today’s fast-paced, ever-changing marketplace? There’s no doubt hard work is involved, but Soren Kaplan shows you can’t do it by simply creating a big vision and implementing a set plan. In his trailblazing debut, Kaplan gives business leaders the tools to do exactly what they’re taught to avoid: embrace surprise—the new key to business breakthroughs.

“

No matter their size or pedigree,

firms have a limited number of options: they can innovate internally (build); enter into contracts or alliances and joint ventures (borrow); or merge or acquire (buy). Three clear choices, but companies often fail to pick up the right path for growing their company, often repeating blindly what worked for them in the past. In our “Build-Borrow-Buy” framework, we help business leaders choosing a balanced mix of growth modes to grow more effectively.

GROWTH STRATEGIES All marketing is about growing and finding new ways to increase sales and market share.

Several tools are available to drive growth but in this section we are looking at strategies that impact dramatic growth.

In the first book “The New Emerging Market Multi-Nationals”, the authors evaluate how companies from China, India, Mexico, Turkey and other emerging countries manage to gain shares by creating new brands, which then compete with the established brands which they used to produce.

The authors’ thorough study reveals interesting insights in bottom-up strategies to pursue growth. This book provides great lessons for every company seeking growth in an increasingly highly competitive global market.

Where the first book reviews companies and their competitive strategies executed to help them grow market share, the second book provides insight into an ever growing and changing consumer population: the Arab world.

Western countries still often maintain a biased

stereotyped view of the Arab world. It’s time to dive into this ‘new world’ and discover the real Arab world and its consumer. You will see that there is plenty of growth opportunities in this huge market of 350,000,000 consumers.

Many companies are in the stage of developing an Arab strategy. Some are already operating successfully. Learn from them and develop your plan rather soon then later. Don’t miss the boat on this huge opportunity.

2. Marketing breakthroughs = New concepts + strategic impact

• Horizon planning – forget trying to plan incrementally in fast and volatile markets. Start with a vision, then work backwards thinking about what you want to achieve by at each horizon with more flexibility within a set of principles and directions.

• Participation platforms – campaigns are out, platforms are in. Campaigns push short-term messages, quickly forgotten, platforms build enduring ideas built on ongoing participation. Think IBM’s “Smarter Planet” or Coke’s “Live Positively”.

• Solomo consumers – the biggest shift in consumer behaviour is guided by their smartphone, and

everything it enables – to be social, and local, and mobile. Time and location-based marketing is now ready to absorb most marketing budgets.

• Zero moment of truth – in a search-driven, digitally enabled engagement process – there is a clear moment when potential customers will choose to love or hate you – we call it the ZMOT - the Tripadvisor rating, or carbon emission of cars.

• Upward innovation – the best ideas come the bottom upwards, not the top down – the poorest, most deprived markets; or the youngest, most openminded consumer; or the freshest un-normalised employee.

• Diffusion brands – most brands recognise that one brand just can’t work for everyone, and to address the aggressive price strategies, they need a second brand.

CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR Understanding consumer behaviour is at the heart of every well developed consumer strategy.

Because it has been such an unknown, it’s where marketing research has dedicated significant time and focus. Recent digital and technological evolutions are shining different lights on the consumer. It might be helping us get a better understanding of consumer behaviour.

We deliberately use the word ‘might’ because the ‘better understanding’ might be a ‘lesser understanding’ because the better understanding might prove that human being behaviour is and will always be unpredictable by nature.

Worth a debate...

Our first book on “Neurobranding” from the neuroscience expert Peter Steidl sets the scene.

While the consumer of today is living in a new world (other economic circumstances; digital communications), we need a better understanding of what motivates the consumer to do what he does, to behave like he behaves and to buy like he buys. Once we know this we can develop the right strategies, tools, messages, and images to attract our target audiences, to reach our marketing objectives. The book is ‘user friendly’ for marketers. It avoids medical vocabulary to make it more complex. It’s a must-read for every marketer interested in his consumer. And which marketer isn’t?

The second book is from Mark Ingwer, a business psychologist and marketer. It describes in detail the 6 core emotional needs of the consumer: the need for control, for self-expression, for recognition, for belonging and for care. In “Empathetic Marketing”, Mark provides both the psychological theory underlying these consumers’ emotional needs, as well as concrete business examples that demonstrate the incredible effectiveness of unleashing the power of deeper needs and emotions for success in the marketplace.

BE LIKEABLE, BE TRUSTWORTHY, HAVE A GREAT CAUSE “Echantment” - Review by Kurt Frenier

MUST READ Entrepreneur extraordinaire and ex-Apple evangelist, and one of my personal marketing gurus, Guy Kawasaki wrote an interesting book about how to “enchant”. Very relevant for all those who want to seek a deep connection with their consumers through a product, a retail transaction, a Facebook comment, or a brand event/experience and create believers, followers and loyalists.

What I actually like about the book is the “personal” touch Kawasaki gives to some important marketing principles. In short, palatable chapters Kawasaki explains how to become more attractive, more believable, how do deal with cynisisms and critique, and how to deploy push and pull techniques to charm consumers, customers, employees and management alike. Each chapter ends with a nice

And as much as this book is about marketing, it is also about life. While reading you will find a lot of tips and examples on how to get better at interpersonal relationships –not surprising…the bond between a brand and its consumers is not so very different from the relationship between two people!

A must-read for marketers, but actually a nice read for anyone.

COMMUNICATION In the last section of this magazine we’ll be focussing on communication with three very different but interesting books.

“Good Works”, co-authored by Philip Kotler, is an indispensable handbook on cause marketing.

Now that purpose-driven marketing has moved from a nice-to-do to a must-do for businesses, this guide is written for business leaders and marketers attempting the delicate balancing act of simultaneously generating financial and social dividends. The book gives you a practical step-by- step guidance on effectively executing marketing and corporate- level campaigns.

The second book, “Brand Advocates” from Rob Fugetta builds upon the concept of word-ofmouth marketing, which in the social media scene, gets a different content and scope. In this book you‘ll learn how to indentify your advocates, how to energize them, and how to track the results.

Rob starts from the concept that EVERY company HAS advocates and should use the huge marketing power that they represent. The book is a very practical step-by-step playbook full of real-world inspiring examples. There are so many great suggestions; you won’t have finished the book before you will have already started your own brand advocacy campaign.

Last but not least, in this section on Communication is “Story Wars” from Jonah Sachs.

This book is a “call to arms” for business communicators and marketers to cast aside broken traditions and join a revolution to build the iconic brands of the future. Jonah’s enthusiasm is contagious and the examples are inspiring. He throws insights from mythology, advertising, history, evolutionary biology and psychology on the table to take the reader into a fascinating world of enormous opportunity for brands and marketers.

There’s no need to add the fact that “Good Works”, “Brand Advocates” and “Story Wars” go hand in hand—first the case, then the story, followed by the brand advocates to spread the word... and success is yours.

MARKETING AND CORPORATE INITIATIVES THAT BUILD A BETTER WORLD...AND THE BOTTOM LINE Philip Kotler, David HesseKiel, Nancy R. Lee Wiley 282 pages June 2012

WRITE

REVIEW

Businesses can do well by doing good -- Kotler, Hessekiel, and Lee show you how! Marketing guru Philip Kotler, cause marketing authority David Hessekiel, and social marketing expert Nancy Lee have teamed up to create a guide rich with actionable advice on integrating marketing and corporate social initiatives into your broader business goals.

Businesspeople who mix cause and commerce are often portrayed as either opportunistic corporate “causewashers” cynically exploiting nonprofits, or visionary social entrepreneurs for whom conducting trade is just a necessary evil in their quest to create a better world. Marketing and corporate social initiatives requires a delicate balancing act between generating financial and social dividends. Good Works is a book for business builders, not a Corporate Social Responsibility treatise. It is for capitalists with the hearts and smarts to generate positive social impacts and bottom-line business results.

REVIEW

REVIEW

July 2012 The Story Wars are all around us — they are the battle to be heard in a world of noise and clamor. In our postbroadcast world, most brand and cause messages are swallowed up and forgotten before they reach the light of day. Just a few have been able to breakthrough this clutter by using the only tool that has ever moved minds and changed behaviors — great stories.

Winning the Story Wars is a call to arms to build iconic brands and causes in service of a better future. And it’s an invitation to see today’s marketing challenges as an adventure through a world of wonder, danger and limitless opportunity.

Since the 1950s, marketers have claimed the powerful role of mythmakers in a world out of touch with its traditional meaning stories. These marketers — legends like Stanley Resor, Edward Bernays and Leo Burnett — revolutionized society, but in the process,turned the power of myth on its head. Where once our great stories called us to adventure, higher values and citizenship, most of our current myths play on fear, insecurity and an endless need

to passively consume.

This story strategy had its day, but with the death of the broadcast era, audiences are seizing power back and ushering in a new, digitally empowered oral tradition. Now they don’t consume messages, they share them, make them their own and decide which live and which die. And today’s audiences are loudly demanding the kinds of stories that the human mind has always preferred — stories of uplift and empowerment.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

THE MARKETING AUTHORS ARE OUR HEROES

This magazine could not have been written or put together without the help and effort of many people.

First of all I want to thank Leen for her efforts in getting and keeping in touch with all the authors who have their books presented and analysed in this magazine. She’s the driving force behind interviews, quotes, pictures, columns, biographies, reviews, analysis, etc.

Tanja did a great job in editing, copywriting, transcribing and proofreading most of the texts. She faced Hurricane Sandy during the time we were working on this magazine and was cut off electricity for more than two weeks... Nevertheless she managed to get everything done in time.

Ezri joined our editing team when the magazine was almost finished but helped us in the final proofreading.

Kurt is responsible for the kick off of our Must read section with a very personal and convincing plea for Guy Kawasaki’s book enchantment.

But the marketing authors are our heroes.

- For their help in supplying the book reviews, the analysis, the free chapters, etc. we thank in alphabetical order: Amitava Chattopadhyay, Clyde Fessler, David Hessekiel & Nancy Lee, Jonah Sachs, Jordan Phillips, Mark Ingwer, Peter Steidl, Rob Fuggetta, Soren Kaplan, Vijay Mahajan - For their columns: Erik Deckers, Grant Leboff - For the article: Peter Fisk - For the quotes: Laurence Capron, Martin Lindstrom, Ron Adner, Steven Van Belleghem - For the interview: Joeri Van den Bergh, Liz Crawford, Mary Bergstrom Last and not least, we’d like to thank the members of our Advisory Board for their ongoing support and advice in selecting and recommending the right books!

A big thank you to all the contributors to this issue!
