Need is the New Want: How Exceptional Brands Create Results in Today’s Economy

Marketers spent most of the 20th Century focused on creating wants – desires that could be actualized by purchase. But today want is dead. Need is the new black. The global economic slowdown is re-writing not just the tactics, but challenging the very strategies behind our expectations of brands. Our hyper-connected customer ecosystem has already redefined brands as the real-time aggregation of all the things you and your customers DO together. It’s time to re-organize around behavior, capture latent demand and create need. Author and advertising futurist, Jonathan Salem Baskin teams up with digital strategist Jeff Molander to explore how leading brands are using five radical principals to deliver more sales, repeat business and true customer loyalty. Your Audience Will Learn How to:

  • Extend need — Prompt selling throughout the year
  • Manage brand as a set of organized behaviors, not mental states
  • Prove benefits of social media (by tying tactics to outcomes)
  • Drive sales and leads by using content to capture latent demand in search engines
  • Create results by applying game modeling to your business

Keeping Marketing Accountable in a Recession

Infinitely ‘trackable’, the Internet promises to lift the veil on what advertising works and what doesn’t. So why is your marketing team hesitating to re-train, resisting accountability — turning to digital gurus outside the enterprise to work mystical voodoo? Success today requires moving beyond measuring “traffic” and “visitors.” It’s time to connect renegade tactics like search marketing with business objectives. Presented from the chief marketer or finance vantage point, I’ll help your audience get synched up and productive. You’ll learn…

  • Which performance-based, online marketing strategies actually work, how, why and risk factors
  • How to sell throughout the year (break the grip of seasonality)
  • How to earn the respect and increased budget you deserve
  • How to make all advertising tie to specific, immediate business goals
  • How to drive provable behavior using a credible approach to social marketing
