The Marketing Centre – The Marketing Centre book club: Essential summer reading

The Marketing Centre – The Marketing Centre book club: Essential summer reading

Digital analyst, sociologist and futurist Brian Solis scans the horizon to see what’s next for businesses. Solis doesn’t just explore trends and theories, but offers his vision as to how you can get ahead in uncertain times.

Why Jason chose this book: ā€œThough this was written in 2013 I still think it’s very relevant today. It talks about the ā€˜dynamic customer journey’, and how every consumer touchpoint on that journey adds or subtracts from the overall customer experience.

ā€œGiven that context, it strongly recommends that as a business you need to ā€˜innovate or die’ with clear priorities on what to address. Solis has written three other books on innovation and consumer trends. ā€˜What’s the future of business’ is his second one, and he has written two more subsequently expanding on his work. So depending on your knowledge on the subject area, you could start at a different point in Solis’ bibliography.ā€

Today on the podcast,

How to take inspiration from brands, people and products that are outside your industry– for example, as Brian says Starbucks isn’t looking to other coffee companies for inspiration
We address the common misconception that innovation is synonymous with technology, and why innovation is really about understanding people- their behavior, their preferences – and finding a way to give it to them
Brian says that simply asking ā€œwhyā€ is one of the best ways for us to uncover friction points and get rid of them. It’s such a simple question, but so powerful.
Enjoy!

ā€œBehind every screen, expression, and impression stands a human being… Not a consumer.ā€ – Brian Solis
Brian Solis, one of the world’s most renowned marketing experts, analysts, and writers, made us all remember that brand, before anything else, means experience. It sounds confusing at first, but it’s actually quite logical. Brands use experience as a way of bringing life into the things we care about.

And it is essential to think this way. As Altimeter Principal Analyst, Brian Solis notes, “the way of doing things and the way the world is evolving are different. The greatest innovation is in mindsets and processes, in how we are human. And once you see it differently, you can’t go back.”

Brian also notes the wise words of his colleague, Principal Altimeter Analyst, Charlene Li, “In a post-truth world, marketers need to shift from touch points to trust points.”

In an era of mediocrity and complacency, only the relevant survive.– Brian Solis

Demand Gen Report – Podcast: The Future Of Influencer Marketing Is Influencer Relations

New research from the Altimeter Group shows that 55% of marketers plan to spend more on influencer marketing in 2019. But according to Principal Analyst Brian Solis, marketers must rethink their approach and strategies to influencer marketing in order to be successful.

In a conversation with Demand Gen Report, Solis shared what he has named ā€œInfluence 2.0,ā€ a new approach that includes building long-term influencer relationships and working with influencers to engage buyers at every touchpoint.

ā€œTrust in companies, brands and executives plummets every year, but trust in peers or people ā€˜like me’ is always at the top,ā€ said Solis. ā€œAt the end of the day, that’s what [influencers are] about … I think it is an underappreciated strategy in the marketing arsenal.ā€
