Fascinating article by @Simon83 on one of my favourite marketing topics, Loyalty. Well worth a read. open.substack.com/pub/fronto…

I get the feeling that early owners of the Apple vision pro are already getting a bit bored of it.

Our obsession with growth has led us to exaggerate advertising’s contribution to it. Ads sometimes contribute to growth. Sometimes help slow declines. Mostly ‘just’ maintain sales. Thinking ads are only about growth sets them up to fail and narrows their breadth and utility.

Over the last couple of weeks, @simon83 provoked a fun group of mostly UK marketing folk in a thread I've dubbed "Simon's Place." Come join us, or start your own circle with a thread tagging a bunch of people you like. xitter.cf/Simon83/status/1712799…
With world as it is / polarisation of media, we need good energy/convo again. Said to @graemefraser I want to get old twitter vibes back. A sort of community. People I’ve learnt from and enjoyed talking/joking with? You ok another Platform?? I miss us. Let’s take back control 😂

The year is 2078. There is one ad agency left: WPPublicisCom&IPGDentsuCorpCo. It slowly orbits the earth in a space barge.

Another 'take' for marketing + ad folks looking for a job: there will be lots of jobs with the likes of Shell, BP etc who could be shunned by the mainstream. Less people applying, likely to pay higher & have longer term career prospects. Don't @ me - you know its true :-)

This is truth. Sat thru too many briefings upon hearong the "Insight" I screamed, in my head, "That's not an insight!"
Always said the word insight is overused. It’s been rendered the cry wolf part of the deck. A piece of data/stating the obvious is not an insight. It’s something you truly learn, maybe jars, that’s shifts planning perception and unlocks a unique course correct to help brand!

I'm looking at the fun of cutting prices to stimulate demand right now. Lucky for my #branding students, this is happening in the weeks leading up to our class. davewakeman.com/2023/07/twit…
