Cavemen speak. the revival of the hippie & the need for back to-basics marketing - part 2
1. THE NEO-HIPPIE
Is there more at stake than just some three-huggers?
Yes. It’s about hippies acting in an open market space. They don’t bother that much yet.
Neo-hippies get what they need from each other. They are autonomous but connected. They
are tech-savvy and deploy tech in their advantage. Everything they do has a purpose.
15. FIGHT THOSE
DAMN HIPPIES
IS PROBABLY WHAT YOU THINK YOU SHOULD DO…
… I SUGGEST TO JOIN & FACILITATE THE MOVEMENT …
… LET’S MAKE THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE!
17. BACK-2-BASICS MARKETING
People are no longer passive consumers. They are empowered. They get what they
need from each other. They are becoming an industry: empowered by tech (social,
mobile, IoT) and self-organizing. If you want to be successful as an organization, you
need to align with this “revival of the hippie” trend.
18. B2B MARKETING
B2B STANDS FOR BACK-TO-BASICS, BECAUSE ANYWAY B2B AND
B2C ARE IRRELEVANT TERMS. IT’S ALL ABOUT PEER TO PEER,
PEOPLE TO PEOPLE, HUMAN TO HUMAN, HIPPIE TO HIPPIE.
BACK 2 BASICS MARKETING IS YOUR ANSWER.
19. CORPORATE HIPPIES
Hippies, hate them or love them, but they are great people. They’ll always do good for
their environments (people, planet, …). In short: they are pretty much still thinking and
acting like cave men. In order to be a hippie, be a cave men. With all respect!

Knowing your audience (cfr.: big data insights) & it’s context to tell stories
Service is key! Generate ambassadors.
