Thinking outside the box is both easy yet difficult to do. The document provides suggestions for how to think differently and get outside one's normal way of thinking, such as waiting for inspiration to strike, adding more variety to one's perspectives, thinking in a more expansive way rather than trying to be brilliant or fast, and taking quick leaps outside one's comfort zone when mistakes will not be punished in order to gain new insights and improve upon standard thinking.

Advertising analytics 2.0
This document discusses the need for Advertising Analytics 2.0 to better interpret marketing data in today's interconnected digital world. It advocates moving beyond traditional measurement techniques like surveys and last-click attribution to gather cross-channel customer response and outcome data. A 3-step approach is proposed: 1) use attribution modeling to determine how advertising interacts to drive purchases; 2) use war gaming to optimize spending based on elasticities; and 3) continuously allocate resources and validate models with real-world experiments. The document provides guidance for smaller companies to implement this approach through an organized 5-step process.
A creative that cracks the code
The document discusses how various companies have successfully used creative advertising strategies that integrate with emerging technologies to promote their brands. It provides examples of how Wonderful Pistachios, Coca-Cola, Oreo, Kia Motors, and IKEA used viral memes, mobile games, social media engagement, and humor in their ads. These campaigns resulted in increased sales, app downloads, and social media exposure. The document advocates for creativity in advertising that delivers a clear main message while engaging with new technologies and movements.
Preserve the luxury or extend the brand
This document discusses whether Chateau de Vallois, a high-end Bordeaux wine estate, should begin producing a more affordable branded wine to target younger consumers. Currently it sells its top wine at $999 per bottle through distributors. The estate owner's granddaughter wants to capitalize on their brand equity but others worry it could dilute their luxury status. Recommendations include starting an independent but complementary affordable wine brand to attract future customers, maintaining separate business units, and implementing direct marketing. The document also discusses how Tata Motors and other Indian companies successfully extended their brands into affordable luxury segments.
Presentation1
Aditi Jain submitted a document to Professor Sameer Mathur discussing how consumer purchase decisions are influenced by prior preferences, information from marketers, and input from other consumers. The document states that as consumers rely more on opinions from other people (O) than information from marketers (M), branding becomes less important, barriers to entry are lower, and companies can more easily diversify into new product areas. The rise of online reviews has caused many companies to dramatically shift their marketing strategies to account for peer influence on customers.
Brands vs private labels;david vs goliath
Private label products offered by retailers are gaining popularity and outperforming branded goods in many product categories such as milk, canned peas, toilet paper, and detergent. Retailers benefit from improved profits on private labels while consumers appreciate the lower prices of these alternatives to national brands. For brand manufacturers, producing private labels poses risks like cannibalizing their original brand and increasing costs. However, following steps such as conducting an audit of private label performance and examining brand equity impacts can help brand manufacturers decide whether to enter this market and mitigate risks if they do. A case study of an Indian retailer demonstrates which of its private label products are most profitable.
A final mashup
Most presentations are boring, but they can be improved with simplicity, strong visuals, pleasing colors and organized text. Customer purchase decisions are influenced by their prior preferences, information from marketers, and opinions from other people. The closer a product is to depending on outside opinions, the more companies should focus on social media, call centers and software to build relationships, while avoiding fake reviews or manipulation.

Ditch the discounts
Ditching discounts and engaging in price wars is not a good strategy. It is better to use adaptive pricing, where prices flexibly change based on market demands. For example, Aavin uses adaptive pricing for its different varieties of milk based on fat content. In recessions, companies can introduce lower-priced options and promotions to avoid price drops. In recoveries, companies reintroduce premium products and raise regular prices. Adaptive pricing is seen in industries like fast food and cars. Amma canteens provide subsidized meals through adaptive pricing to help the poor, though they incur losses. Overall, adaptive pricing is a better approach than price wars.
Make the most of a polarizing brand
This presentation is based on a Harvard Business Review article "Make the most of a polarizing brand". It also briefly explores the application of such strategies in the Indian Market.
COMPETING AGAINST FREE
This document discusses how to assess threats from new competitors offering free products or services. It provides guidelines for determining if a free entrant poses a minor, delayed, or immediate threat based on comparing the growth rate of the entrant's users to the defection rate of the established firm's paying customers. The document also outlines some strategies incumbent firms can use to offer a better free product, such as bundling it with paid offerings or charging third parties for access to users. It notes obstacles like profit expectations and accounting systems that may make these strategies difficult for incumbents.
Ditch the discounts
Companies competed with heavy discounts during the recession to boost sales. However, deep discounts devalue products and limit the ability to raise prices as the economy improves. Instead of discounts, companies can use adaptive pricing by offering different versions tailored to customers' needs and budgets. They introduce lower-priced basic versions alongside premium products to attract both price-sensitive and high-paying customers. As the economy recovers, companies withdraw temporary discounts and introduce new premium products while gradually increasing regular product prices through tactics like creative financing plans.
Un me jeans
This document discusses brand manager Margaret Foley's options for promoting the UnMe Jeans brand among its target market of girls aged 12-24.

It evaluates options like YouTube, Facebook, virtual worlds and their pros and cons for UnMe's marketing budget.

A brand is forever
This document discusses strategies for revitalizing declining or dead brands. It begins by providing an example of the Ford Taurus brand that was once very successful but later declined. It then identifies three main causes of brand decline: managerial actions, environmental factors, and competitive actions. Examples are given for each cause. The document also discusses deconstructing brand decline by differentiating the brand, maintaining a strong image, and following customers. Finally, it outlines strategies for revitalizing brands such as estimating if the brand can regain glory, carefully choosing a target audience, understanding past strategy failures, rebuilding quality, and resisting temptation to overexploit the brand.
What are brands good for
Brands are traditionally used to aggregate customers by promising clear benefits and differentiating products from competitors. However, the rise of information sharing online is undermining this approach. Consumer "disaggregation" through more targeted and two-way communication allows companies to be more flexible, adaptive, and responsive to individual customer needs in a more efficient way. To adapt, companies should focus on building direct relationships with consumers through targeted communication rather than relying solely on brands. They need new structures that include relationship-building, tactical marketing influence, and continual product innovation to engage disaggregated consumers.
Gino sa
This document provides a case study about Gino SA, a burner manufacturer founded in 1931 and headquartered in Paris. It discusses Gino's expansion into the Chinese market in 1995 by establishing an office in Beijing and partnering with three distributors in different regions of China. It then describes how Gino achieved success in China by lowering domestic product prices. A key distributor, Jinghua, had a major customer, Feima, but was not pursuing other opportunities. Feima requested to purchase directly from Gino. This caused issues with Jinghua. The document recommends that Gino pursue the Feima contract directly while compensating Jinghua to maintain the important distribution relationship. It also suggests Gino
Aquatred case
The document summarizes a Harvard Business School case study about Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company in the 1990s. It discusses Goodyear launching a new high-performance tire called Aquatred to target quality and value-oriented consumers. It analyzes whether Aquatred is suitable for dealers and consumers, whether distribution should be expanded, and what the pricing and promotional policies should be. The key conclusions are that Aquatred should be positioned as a premium product, current distribution channels should be utilized maximally, and dealers encouraged to maintain recommended pricing through aggressive marketing and advertising.

Saxonville sausage company
Saxonville Sausage Company manufactures fresh pork sausage products and wants to launch a national Italian sausage brand. Research found their Vivio brand positioned as locally made and fresh was growing. Further research showed the core value of women as homemakers. The recommended positioning was "Clever Cooking" to prevent cannibalizing other products and leverage Vivio's growth. The new products should be developed under Vivio to tap new markets without affecting other brands. Distribution could expand nationally then to frozen/smoked products outside the core geography.
Saxonville Sausage Company
Saxonville Sausage Company is a $1.5 billion company known for its bratwurst and breakfast sausages. It is looking to expand its Vivio Italian sausage brand nationally. Currently Vivio has regional distribution in the Eastern US and 5% of company sales. A SWOT analysis found strengths in Saxonville's distribution and brand recognition but weaknesses in Vivio's lack of positioning. Objectives are to launch Vivio nationally while limiting impact on other brands. The target audience is busy female heads of households. Positioning alternatives of "Family Connection" and "Clever Cooking" were considered, with "Family Connection" chosen. The action plan outlines pre-launch, launch, and post-launch activities over 12
