  • Customer engagement is key for the success of your business and Rob elaborates on ways of reaching such engagement.
    Over my 20-year marketing career, I've worked with brands big and small around the world. Some have become dependent on traditional forms of marketing and are mired in mediocrity, while others emphasize engagement and succeed in forging cult followings of loyal fans and customers. 5 years ago, I set out to unlock the genetic code of the world's most coveted, cult brands. I emerged enlightened, helped found a marketing firm (Cult Collective), a think tank, a global summit (The Gathering), and wrote a book (Fix: Break the Addiction That's Killing Brands) to help enlighten others. I think emerging marketers and business leaders would find what I've discovered enlightening too.

    The Banks own these big brands and also own the media. They get free marketing through the media. That is what is happening.

    “Intercepting customers” in existing markets rather than the often pushed approach of “interrupting them” is an interesting take.

    The fatal flaw in his opening question is that people who are in cults don't actually believe they're in a cult.

    Nothing like diminishing the seriousness of cults by completely ignoring what they actually are. Look up the BITE model and then compare his arguments to it.

    • @JeremyCrow
      @JeremyCrow 5 лет назад +5

      There are cults and there are coercive cults. The technical, literal definition of a cult doesn't include coercion or manipulation but in pop culture we usually hear the word "cult" and immediately think of a coercive cult.

      Jobs wasn't afraid to lose money because that usually meant he was building value before the market existed for it. Once the market turned their way, Apple was the only outlet offering those things that Jobs embedded.

    Obviously a marketer who ignores the product, all the companies he lists have great products.

      Right. Fender has a cult following because they built the best guitars in the world for a period of time. People will always find and talk about the best.

      Hanniffy, that's why he says in the first advise, at 8:53, that a brand have to be remarkable.

    Cults are an expressing of a desire to belong to something outside the social norms and rules of society. That's how people are willing to hand over their soul to something, pure petulant desire to rebel.

    Theres so much hearsay in this talk.. He's using "universal truths" to argue his reasoning which any 12 year old could do. At least i made it to "Be remarkable" before i figured i was being rumbled...lol

  • @ericwilliams626

    Wait one moment. If you go after Tesla you are missing a key element that Tesla has the other brands don't' an intentional and direct mantra; to provide a choice in the marketplace in how we power our transportation, something that should have been done decades ago, but Musk found it to be his delusional objective he needed to attack. Respect that. Instead you appear to be snarky at true corporate efforts to accomplish something. Brands exist for a reason, trust, knowing, familiar. This is driven by the customer not the brand. You are attacking them for the wrong reasons. Your anger should have been aimed at the lack of consciousness these brands have. Instead they are like AI soldiers out to destroy. Corporations need a consciousness. That IS the central problem.
