Beyond Marketing – Stay healthy

Hi people,

I think you agree with me that 2021 has yet been another challenging year. We constantly need to adapt to new situations, may that be professionally or privately. 

Let me share with some of my personal experiences in 2021. Everybody was hoping the get back to normal but the normal doesn’t exist anymore. I changed jobs, family members were tested positive, my 2 kids were quarantined and the uncertainty continues.

To wrap up 2021 I would like to encourage you to look after your personal health beyond anything else. Without being healthy, we can’t tackle the other challenges.

Daily Outdoor activities help me to recharge constantly my batteries and give me the mental strength I need to be at my best.

What kind of routines do you do for your personal health and well-being? 

Please leave a message in the comments section and don’t be shy.

Greetings from the beautiful Swiss mountains and stay healthy.

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

Cheers people and talk to you soon again.

How to scale human impression – CHANEL case study

Hi people,

I just wanted to share with you a short story today from my work experience at CHANEL on how you can scale on human impressions. CHANEL, the luxury brand invites people to join their unique workshops. People joining the workshops are either staff members or B2B clients. The brand connects with people by providing an exceptional experience that turns them immediately into brand ambassadors. And what’s beautiful about this is that you can just do the same today.

Delight your most valuable people because they will spread their unique experiences with other people. And this is scaling on human impressions. And CHANEL is a great example of how you can create meaningful experiences to delight people, build long-lasting relationships and scale on human impressions.

I hope this is useful to you.

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

Cheers people from Gland. It’s getting windy and a storm is supposed to come up. So be safe and talk to you soon again. Bye.

How to apply a human-centered marketing approach

Marketing is complex today and in times where we are moving towards a subscription-driven, emotion-driven, ad-free, big brand loyalty-free world, it’s just getting harder and harder to build relationships with people.
I bet you agree with me and today companies and the marketing firms need to learn the new rules to attract prospects, to convert creativity, content, and conversations into valuable customers.

A human-centered marketing approach addresses exactly this problem where you need to ask yourself;

How can you help somebody by doing something that is important to them?

Let me repeat it. How can you help somebody by doing something that is important to them?

The next step is to keep the conversation going by creating a helpful user experience that brings them closer to make a decision at each stage of their journey.
This is creating human impressions instead of advertising impressions and imagine how much more efficient your marketing would be if we all applied a simple human-centered marketing approach.

I’m Claude Oggier and my goal is to serve and help companies to make better marketing decisions.

I hope you find this useful and please share this message has I think it’s important for any marketer to embrace a more human-centered approach in a marketing world today.

But remember, as long as the Matterhorn stands everything is going to be alright. Well, cheers people from the Swiss mountains. It’s just a beautiful, sunny winter day and I’m just very grateful.

Talk to you soon again. Bye.

My 5 star​ hotel experience on the Seychelles Islands

Hi people,

I’m saying hello from beautiful Lausanne, the Olympic Capital which is home to 57 International Sports federations. I mean, being a big sports fan, this number is really impressive. Plus, Lausanne has been rated the world’s best small city by Monocles ‘Small Cities Index’.Wow, congrats Lausanne.

Loving marketing, I thought to share with you today my five-star hotel experience on the Seychelles Islands where we recently celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary.

It started with a warm welcoming cocktail with a spectacular view. Then when checking-in into our room, there was a lovely welcome message, champagne, fruits and decoration of two swans made out of towels laying over a bed of roses. In the evening, when we came back from our day trip the bath was filled up and covered with local flowers. One day we had a surprise breakfast at an amazing location and private service.

I mean, overall, you would say, well, that’s the kind of service that you would expect from a five-star hotel, right?

Yes, but I believe the reason why I felt treated like a king was obviously the wedding anniversary, but also the friendliness and the joy of life of the staff people. They were always saying hello with a warm smile and I just felt they really really cared about me having a fantastic and delightful holiday. Honestly, I really did. Thanks again to all the people there.

To me people, this is today’s marketing in a digital world where you need to create emotions, that delight the customers, the customer’s journey. Small details can have a massive impact on your customer experience. Care about your people and put the human element back at the center of everything you do.

Well, I hope this was useful and I would like to know what are you or your brand doing today to delight your customers?

I would really love to hear from you. Leave a message, don’t be shy in the comment section.

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

Cheers people from Lausanne. A beautiful city and I talk to you soon again from another great location. Cheers. Bye.

Is technology hurting your marketing effectiveness?

Hi people,

I hope you’re doing well and I’m saying hi from a viewpoint I visit frequently during summer when I go cycling. I mean, look in the back. It’s a spectacular view today over lac léman (Lake of Geneva) and the Alps where it’s foggy today. And it’s just great to be above the fog and I feel very grateful.

Now people my question for you today is do you have the feeling that your marketing campaigns are less effective than they used to?

Do you have the feeling that your marketing is falling behind?

Well, I believe a problem today is the abusive use of technology where too many marketing messages have forgotten the human connection or human element. Everything seems to be programmed and automated by marketers, who seem to have forgotten about what makes actually good sense. It’s simply annoying, it provides mediocre results and simply we must do a better job if we want to keep people’s trust in our products or services.

And here is my take on what we should do.

Marketing to digital natives has to be consensual. I’m feeling concerned and I believe you too. Therefore marketing, in general, has to be consensual.

Somebody at the top of the organization needs to declare that building trust in a more human way is a top priority.

Make the success of your customers be your most important KPI.

Embrace technology and make the consumer path to your product or service fast and easy. By all means, use artificial intelligence to accelerate and automate repetitive processes.

Provide customer service value by informing consumers on their order status or to students about their program progress.

Create ongoing conversations with your biggest fans and stay relevant in the consumer’s eyes when they decide to make a purchase.

Last but not least, brand building and building trust with consumers has never been more important than today. People want to be respected, don’t abuse people’s trust with technology.

Well, I hope you enjoyed these insights and I would really love to hear from you about your marketing challenges.

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

Well, cheers people from this great, spectacular viewpoint.

Talk to you soon again. Bye bye.

My IMD digital journey will continue

Check out my Youtube Claude Oggier

Hi people,

I hope you’re doing well today. Look at the beautiful day that we have today in Ouchy, Lausanne, which is basically also to the place where I worked at IMD Business School for almost 10 years.

I mean, clearly, IMD enabled me to kick-off my marketing career. And I will be forever grateful to the people who supported me over all these years. And today, it’s my turn to look into becoming an IMD student. Because I’m interested in IMD’s digital transformation programs led by Michael Wade.

Well, it kind of feels like going back to the roots. And I’m really, really excited about this. And just like a human-centered marketing strategy, I believe that digital transformation starts foremost with people too. I mean, the first question you need to ask yourself is how willing is your company’s culture to change? Do you have to buy-in from the top of management?

This is a key fundamental to any digital transformation journey. The second question you need to answer is do you have analytics accurately in place? And are you measuring your consumers interactions with your brand and their various touch points? And last but not least, the third question is, are you using your data in a meaningful way?

It’s just not enough to have a lot of data. The secret sauce is in using artificial intelligence to optimize your business processes, which enable you to enhance the customer experience because the customer experience, making that exceptional, that’s what you have to do today.

I am super excited to go and learn to broaden my knowledge in the never-ending journey of digital transformation and I will not miss sharing with you my learnings along the way in my upcoming videos.

So stay tuned and I hope this resonates with you and if you would like to discuss your marketing challenges with me, please feel free to reach out to me I’m super happy to help you.

But remember, as long as the Matterhorn stands, everything is going to be alright. Even in beautiful Ouchy and if you look in the back, there is Valais / Wallis. So I’m saying just cheers and it’s always great to visit IMD in Ouchy and you know what, talk to you soon again from another great place. Bye.

When a fan cooks for Roger Federer: Barilla case study

Hi people,

today I’m saying hi from Zurich. A city I missed and a city where I went to school a long time ago to become a surveyor. I’m not kidding you. But it did not take me long to change my professional direction when I experienced for the first time the internet back in 1998 😉

Now before sharing with you my marketing message, I would like to congratulate Roger Federer for his 10th title at the Swiss Indoors. It’s just an incredible achievement and my marketing message for you today is coming from Roger’s sponsoring brand Barilla, who understands how to connect human emotions. The story comes from Daniela.

Daniela has 2 passions. Tennis and Roger Federer. When he plays everything stops in life. During a tournament, she wanted to create something nice and invited Roger for dinner, written on a poster. Barilla noticed her through Twitter and invited her to participate in a Barilla cooking master class. But she had no idea what surprise was coming. Roger walks into the room to have dinner with Daniela and her face shows emotions that can’t be explained. And it’s just such a beautiful example of how a brand can connect in a more human way with their fans. (Judge for yourself on Youtube)

I hope this resonates with you. And please feel free to share with me your marketing challenges, and I’m happy to help you.

And remember, even in Zurich, as long as the Matterhorn stands, everything is going to be alright.

Alright people, have a good day. Talk to you soon again from another great place.

Make me a hero: Adidas case study

Make me a hero: Adidas case study

Hi people,

Welcome to Paradise. Seychelles Islands are not only a unique place for honeymooners, but it’s also a unique place for its rocks. Seychelles are unique in being the only mid-oceanic islands made of granite. Most islands this far from mainland are volcanic, coral and sand. Just take a look in the back how beautiful the rocks are. And there is even one right here in the middle of the ocean, massive granite.

Now loving marketing, today I would like to discuss with you a case study from Adidas. Fabio Tambosi’s team at Adidas take marketing to the next level because they listened to the consumers when they said, “don’t give me more heroes. Make me one”.

This is really putting the consumers at the center of their thinking.

This is what marketing is today. The way to go forward for you and me by putting humans back into the center of everything that we are doing.

Go and check out Adidas most recent campaigns on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/adidas/, get inspired and share your thoughts with me to open the discussion.

If you have marketing challenges you would like to discuss, reach out to me and I’m more than happy to assist. (My phone number: 0041-78-637-4314)

Now, remember, as long as the matter understands everything is going to be alright.

Have a good day. Greetings from the Seychelles islands and talk to you soon again for a very special place.

Disclosure: By now I guess you know that I am a big fan of Mark Schaefers marketing vision and I found out about this amazing case study while reading the book “Marketing Rebellion” by Mark Schaefer. I adjusted the original story to make it resonate in a very simple way.

Marketers are asleep. Consumers are the new marketing department.

Hi people,

Welcome from paradise where I’m currently celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary. The Seychelles islands are a very special place and if you want to delight or surprise your partner one day, I mean this is the destination that you cannot go wrong. Just take a look at how beautiful the beach is in the back. You see some waves coming in, beautiful weather.
It’s not too warm today, beautiful conditions to enjoy a lovely holiday.

But now, let’s come back to my favorite subject again, which is marketing and I’m afraid to tell you that marketers, you are asleep. McKinsey’s research indicated already back in 2009 that consumer behaviors are changing the way they to do research and buy products today. Mark Schaefer’s new book called “Marketing Rebellion“, which came out at the beginning of 2019 highlights that consumers are the new marketing department. They are in control of a staggering 2/3 (two-thirds) of your marketing. Only 1/3 (one-third) is controlled by the marketing department.

I mean, please, this must be a wake-up call for you and me and all of us.
Here is what I would suggest doing.

We have to create consumer conversations, drip by drip, keeping your product or service in the mind of the consumers when they consider a purchase. Time over time. Period.

But remember, as long as the Matterhorn stands, everything will be alright. 

Alright people, it was great talking to you. Have a good day and I continue enjoying my beautiful holiday at the Seychelles islands and I talk to you soon again from another special place. Talk to you soon. Bye bye.

Greetings from a Swiss mountain guy;-)
