When a CEO doesn’t like Marketing

If you are also in love with marketing, please subscribe to my blog and Youtube channel and stay up-to-date with today’s marketing challenges in a digital world. It would mean a lot to me.

Certainly you must be familiar with the 4Ps from Philip Kotler and let me tell you one of his stories about marketing. 

There are 2 groups of CEO’s with respect to marketing.
1 group who doesn’t like marketing and 1 one group who loves marketing.
Maybe you have already seen a company where the CEO  says: “I don’t like Marketing, but I know i need it, and all I want from marketing is some communication.I just want someone to broadcast and promote us.”
Well, that person is missing a lot of things and then there are other CEO’s who are 4P CEOs who say:”I need a marketing plan.” A plan that mentions my product: What is good about the product. Price: What should it be priced at? Place: Where should be made accessible? Online, offline, in stores? and last but not least promotion. 

So that’s a more educated view of the potential of marketing but there is even a better CEO who says:”I want to start with the fact that the market is complex. There are a lot of segments and each segment deserves its own plan. Only one value proposition for the whole market doesn’t trigger anything. So what segment should we go after?

This brings us to the conclusion that the role of marketing  in a company is very complex and influenced by the CEO’s view of marketing.

Please leave a comment below and share with me your CEO’s view of marketing.

But remember, as long as the Matterhorn stands, everything is going to be alright.

Cheers people and stay safe!

What is Permission Marketing 2.0?

Ever since Seth Godin wrote the book Permission Marketing, the notion of having permission via email to communicate is still valid, but today, you as a marketer need to seek a wider range of permissions. 

Because remember – the consumer is in control over who has access to them directly.

Your goal is to ask for explicit permission from consumers so you can communicate directly with them and  gain a higher level of context. Otherwise instead of enhancing your brand experience you will end up with forced ads that are lacking context.

Explicit permission is the highest level of context, where an individual grants you to engage directly with them. This can be via social media channels, chatbots or a phone call.

Professionally and personally I am trying to use the power of personal connections through social media channels.

The second form of permission is implicit where people grant you permission for a better user experience. Mostly this happens when a person visits your website and allows you to access his personal data. Although the person is not giving you actively permission to reach out to him or her on a different channel.

The takeaway is to ask explicit permission to engage with the consumer and you do have my explicit permission to leave a comment below to start the conversation;-)

But remember, as long as the Matterhorn stands, everything is going to be alright.

Cheers people and stay safe !
