Every marketer and adverting agency have one great creative idea. This presentation highlights the creativity and execution of great Integrated Marketing Communications campaigns. The execution of great ideas is a collaboration between client and adverting agency.
The way businesses need to organize and behave has fundamentally shifted. Across industries, companies, and organizational functions, we have heard many of the world’s most innovative companies echo the same challenge: businesses must urgently embrace a more nimble and entrepreneurial approach in order to stay competitive. We call this challenge of how big companies can leverage scale while staying innovative “big entrepreneurship.” This report aims to deconstruct some of the complex challenges around big entrepreneurship and provide actionable insights for business leaders.
This report was created by Fahrenheit 212, a global innovation strategy and design firm. We define innovation strategies and develop new products, services, and experiences that create sustainable, profitable growth for our clients. We challenge the belief that innovation is inherently unreliable and have spent the last decade designing the method, building the model, and assembling the minds to make innovation a predictable driver of growth for our clients' businesses.
This document differentiates between business ideas and opportunities, providing guidance on evaluating new venture prospects. It discusses sources for generating business ideas and defines a business opportunity. Key factors for assessing new ventures are outlined, including the entrepreneur's characteristics, business environment, and venture specifics. A screening methodology involving a macro/micro analysis is presented. Reasons for new business failure center around problems with the product/market, financial difficulties, and managerial issues.
Challenges
The digital revolution changes everything. It's the force driving shifts in markets, customers and organisations. To survive and thrive, businesses face a dual challenge: staying ahead of the competition while transforming their own organisation.
Our belief
You need to be customer-focused to compete. We develop strategies around the customer, their needs, their world, their experience.
Our approach
We take a strategic approach in four key areas (brand, experience, content and culture).
Everything we do contributes to building a brand from its purpose to the customer experience. We aim beyond the sale, to gain their advocacy.
We develop resilient brands:
- Build a resilient brand: aligns belief, strategy and experience.
- A shared purpose and values with customers.
- Authentic communications with an engaged audience.
Purpose of the workshop
We would like you to experience the way we build brands at Brilliant Noise. Test some of our tools and exercises so you can take-away something useful you can act on, take a first step forward creating a resilient brand.
This document is a proposal for a marketing seminar titled "Marketing Genius: Creative and Innovative Strategies to Win the Market and Increase Profit". The seminar will feature speaker Peter Fisk and cover over 50 case studies and 20 tools to help participants become marketing geniuses. It will be held on June 26, 2014 in Jakarta for 200-300 marketing professionals and will promote analytical and creative thinking. Sponsorship opportunities including booths, logo placement, and announcements are available.

This document discusses the importance of understanding customer needs and focusing on marketing rather than just production. It provides examples of companies that failed due to being industry-classification myopic or production-pressures myopic, only focusing on increasing output rather than customers' true needs. In contrast, it highlights companies that succeeded by toppling the iceberg - deeply understanding customers' complete needs, even those below the surface, and directing the whole organization accordingly. R&D can also be dangerous if it is not closely linked to marketing and delivering what customers actually want. To avoid failure, companies must avoid being bound by narrow industry definitions and prioritize an ongoing customer-centric culture of innovation.

Ten learnings on thinking small for big impact Wolff Olins
When we take on big challenges, like innovation, it’s tempting to jump to big
solutions. But sometimes, it’s the small things that matter most.

This document discusses the importance of understanding customer needs and focusing on marketing rather than just production. It provides examples of companies that failed due to being industry-classification myopic or production-pressures myopic, only focusing on increasing output rather than customers' true needs. In contrast, it highlights companies that succeeded by toppling the iceberg - deeply understanding customers' complete needs, even those below the surface, and directing the whole organization accordingly. R&D can also be dangerous if it is not closely linked to marketing and delivering what customers actually want. To avoid failure, companies must avoid being bound by narrow industry definitions and prioritize an ongoing customer-centric culture of innovation.

Creative innovation is important for companies to satisfy customers and adapt to changes. Some strategies to foster innovation include being curious and gathering information, recognizing opportunities, looking beyond your industry for ideas, fostering an innovative environment, innovating workplaces not just products, and running contests to source ideas from colleges. MIT Innovation provides courses to develop these innovation skills in students to help companies succeed.
The document provides a syllabus for a Principles of Marketing course that is divided into 3 modules over 12 hours each. Module 1 covers introduction to marketing concepts, the marketing environment, and the marketing mix. Module 2 focuses on consumer behavior and market segmentation. Module 3 discusses product and pricing strategies.
Maddock Douglas is an innovation consulting firm that helps clients bring new products and services to market. Many companies struggle with "Failure-to-launch Syndrome", where they invest heavily in innovation but struggle to profitably bring innovations to market repeatedly. This is often due to focusing on speed to market rather than speed to learning from customers. Maddock Douglas recommends using a portfolio approach to categorize ideas based on market maturity and business capabilities fit in order to determine the right innovation activities for each idea. This tailored approach can help companies more successfully manage different types of innovation.
Businesses need a new framework to strategically assess how to best grow their business in the new economy. A “roadmap” enables everyone to clearly understand what decisions need to be made, who needs to make them and when.
This document discusses design thinking as a human-centered approach to innovation that integrates user needs, technology possibilities, and business requirements. It provides three key principles of design thinking: 1) conceptualizing ideas and testing solutions, 2) focusing on end users, and 3) staying adaptable through reinvention. Design thinking introduces empathy and creativity into the innovation process. It needs to be embraced by the whole organization through training and by shortening the gap between product design and marketing teams. Innovation requires considering emerging technologies, business processes, and planning purposefully to have impact for clients rather than just doing something cool. It allows industries to better understand changing consumer needs in a rapidly evolving technology landscape.
The Three Traits of the Sought-After Marketer
When we were asked by one of our long-term clients to help them bridge the often-dysfunctional gap between marketing and sales functions, we thought we already knew the recipe. We didn’t expect that our discoveries would change much of what we thought about marketing. But they did.
Marketing involves market research like focus groups to understand customer needs, and market analysis to identify opportunities. This informs a company's marketing strategy. Advertising is important to raise brand awareness and get customers to remember and choose a brand. Brand promotion uses various methods like TV ads or free samples to influence customers to purchase a brand.
Public relations aims to manage messaging to maintain customer perceptions. Key principles include consistency, truthfulness, and good media relations. Positive publicity from stunts like Red Bull's skydive generate interest. Spin aims to shape audience views, while damage limitation minimizes negative perceptions from crises. Lobbying targets legislators and regulators to influence decisions affecting organizations.
This document discusses advertising and marketing. It defines advertising as the non-personal presentation of ideas, products or services to induce action by an audience. The purpose of advertising is to promote ideas and products to increase sales. Advertising has several functions like promoting sales, introducing new products, creating a good public image, facilitating mass production, stimulating research, and educating people. It concludes that marketing analyzes customer needs to satisfy them and enhance relationships, while advertising influences market changes by summarizing a product and its promotion.
This document provides advice on how to reorganize marketing to grow a business. It recommends understanding the role of marketing, creating an efficient structure and creative team, performing a marketing audit, eliminating unnecessary resources, creating an advisory board, studying technology developments, improving internal communication, comparing past and present strategies, utilizing social media effectively, creating inbound and outbound marketing plans, implementing a marketing performance system, hiring professionals or outsourcing marketing activities, following up with customers, gathering employee feedback, managing customer databases, innovating, using Google Analytics, integrating marketing, sales and customer departments, implementing customer relationship management, developing a digital business strategy, and having an active market information system.
The document summarizes key aspects of developing a marketing plan for a small business, including conducting market research, understanding customers and competitors, creating a unique value proposition, developing marketing strategies, setting budgets, and determining pricing, location, and distribution channels. It provides tips on different types of marketing such as search engine marketing, blogging, social media, and promotion through various industry-specific sites. The overall message is that a systematic marketing plan is needed to effectively promote a business and compete in the marketplace.
10 things founders should always remember. What started as a simple question became a year-long weekend project as I dug deep and pulled from past experiences, situations I've witnessed, and examples I've seen. I also referenced some of the best books I've read over the years that have helped shape how I operate and partner with founders. I built this "Top 10 Startup Tips for Founders" deck to capture some of my takeaways. It was much more difficult as I had so many other wandering thoughts that didn't get captured here, but I needed to start somewhere! After receiving much encouragement and support from my network, I'm sharing this current version openly with the startup community. Please take a look, and feel free to circulate to those you think can benefit from this.

1. Electrolux's slogan "Nothing sucks like an Electrolux" was a marketing blunder in the American market as "sucks" has a negative connotation. Better translation and cultural understanding could have avoided this blunder.
2. Coors' Spanish translation of "Turn it loose" to mean "suffer from diarrhea" showed a lack of proper translation. Thorough translation review could have prevented this embarrassing mistake.
3. Clairol's "Mist Stick" name translating to "manure stick" in German demonstrated insufficient research into cultural meanings. More consumer testing internationally may have uncovered this translation
m249-saw PMI To familiarize the soldier with the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon ...LinghuaKong2
M249 Saw marksman PMIThe Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW), or 5.56mm M249 is an individually portable, gas operated, magazine or disintegrating metallic link-belt fed, light machine gun with fixed headspace and quick change barrel feature. The M249 engages point targets out to 800 meters, firing the improved NATO standard 5.56mm cartridge.The SAW forms the basis of firepower for the fire team. The gunner has the option of using 30-round M16 magazines or linked ammunition from pre-loaded 200-round plastic magazines. The gunner's basic load is 600 rounds of linked ammunition.The SAW was developed through an initially Army-led research and development effort and eventually a Joint NDO program in the late 1970s/early 1980s to restore sustained and accurate automatic weapons fire to the fire team and squad. When actually fielded in the mid-1980s, the SAW was issued as a one-for-one replacement for the designated "automatic rifle" (M16A1) in the Fire Team. In this regard, the SAW filled the void created by the retirement of the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) during the 1950s because interim automatic weapons (e.g. M-14E2/M16A1) had failed as viable "base of fire" weapons.
Early in the SAW's fielding, the Army identified the need for a Product Improvement Program (PIP) to enhance the weapon. This effort resulted in a "PIP kit" which modifies the barrel, handguard, stock, pistol grip, buffer, and sights.
The M249 machine gun is an ideal complementary weapon system for the infantry squad platoon. It is light enough to be carried and operated by one man, and can be fired from the hip in an assault, even when loaded with a 200-round ammunition box. The barrel change facility ensures that it can continue to fire for long periods. The US Army has conducted strenuous trials on the M249 MG, showing that this weapon has a reliability factor that is well above that of most other small arms weapon systems. Today, the US Army and Marine Corps utilize the license-produced M249 SAW.

From Concept to reality : Implementing Lean Managements DMAIC Methodology for...Rokibul Hasan
The Ready-Made Garments (RMG) industry in Bangladesh is a cornerstone of the economy, but increasing costs and stagnant productivity pose significant challenges to profitability. This study explores the implementation of Lean Management in the Sampling Section of RMG factories to enhance productivity. Drawing from a comprehensive literature review, theoretical framework, and action research methodology, the study identifies key areas for improvement and proposes solutions.
Through the DMAIC approach (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control), the research identifies low productivity as the primary problem in the Sampling Section, with a PPH (Productivity per head) of only 4.0. Using Lean Management techniques such as 5S, Standardized work, PDCA/Kaizen, KANBAN, and Quick Changeover, the study addresses issues such as pre and post Quick Changeover (QCO) time, improper line balancing, and sudden plan changes.
The research employs regression analysis to test hypotheses, revealing a significant correlation between reducing QCO time and increasing productivity. With a regression equation of Y = -0.000501X + 6.72 and an R-squared value of 0.98, the study demonstrates a strong relationship between the independent variables (QCO downtime and improper line balancing downtime) and the dependent variable (productivity per head).
The findings suggest that by implementing Lean Management practices and addressing key productivity inhibitors, RMG factories can achieve substantial improvements in efficiency and profitability. The study provides valuable insights for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers seeking to enhance productivity in the RMG industry and similar manufacturing sectors.

Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.
This presentation, "The Morale Killers: 9 Ways Managers Unintentionally Demotivate Employees (and How to Fix It)," is a deep dive into the critical factors that can negatively impact employee morale and engagement. Based on extensive research and real-world experiences, this presentation reveals the nine most common mistakes managers make, often without even realizing it.
The presentation begins by highlighting the alarming statistic that 70% of employees report feeling disengaged at work, underscoring the urgency of addressing this issue. It then delves into each of the nine "morale killers," providing clear explanations and illustrative examples.
1. Ignoring Achievements: The presentation emphasizes the importance of recognizing and rewarding employees' efforts, tailored to their individual preferences.
2. Bad Hiring/Promotions & Broken Promises: It reveals the detrimental effects of poor hiring and promotion decisions, along with the erosion of trust that results from broken promises.
3. Treating Everyone Equally & Tolerating Poor Performance: This section stresses the need for fair treatment while acknowledging that employees have different needs. It also emphasizes the importance of addressing poor performance promptly.
4. Stifling Growth & Lack of Interest: The presentation highlights the importance of providing opportunities for learning and growth, as well as showing genuine care for employees' well-being.
5. Unclear Communication & Micromanaging: It exposes the frustration and resentment caused by vague expectations and excessive control, advocating for clear communication and employee empowerment.
The presentation then shifts its focus to the power of recognition and empowerment, highlighting how a culture of appreciation can fuel engagement and motivation. It provides actionable takeaways for managers, emphasizing the need to stop demotivating behaviors and start actively fostering a positive workplace culture.
The presentation concludes with a strong call to action, encouraging viewers to explore the accompanying blog post, "9 Proven Ways to Crush Employee Morale (and How to Avoid Them)," for a more in-depth analysis and practical solutions.
Many companies have perceived CRM that accompanied by numerous
uncoordinated initiatives as a technological solution for problems in
individual areas. However, CRM should be considered as a strategy when
a company decides to implement it due to its humanitarian, technological
and process-related effects (Mendoza et al., 2007, p. 913). CRM is
evolving today as it should be seen as a strategy for maintaining a longterm relationship with customers.
A CRM business strategy includes the internet with the marketing,
sales, operations, customer services, human resources, R&D, finance, and
information technology departments to achieve the company’s purpose and
maximize the profitability of customer interactions (Chen and Popovich,
2003, p. 673).
