Obwohl der Schwerpunkt des Buches auf Werbung liegt, l\u00e4sst sich der Inhalt durchaus auch auf andere Bereiche der Marketingdienstleistungen anwenden. Besonders gespannt waren wir auf seine Perspektive auf Marktforschung in Werbekampagnen.<\/p>\n<p>Steels Ziel ist es, ein neues Werbemodell vorzuschlagen, das auf der Komplexit\u00e4t der Menschen und ihrer Emotionen basiert. Das Modell beinhaltet eine Partnerschaft der Beteiligten an einer Werbekampagne:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gesch\u00e4ftsperspektive des Kunden<\/li>\n<li>kreative Perspektive der Agentur<\/li>\n<li>opinions and prejudices of the people at whom advertising is aimed; In other words, the consumer needs to be probed for insecurities, motivations, habits, and prejudices<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Durch die \u201eTriangulation\u201c dieser Perspektiven kommt man der Wahrheit n\u00e4her. Diesem Modell liegt seine Wertsch\u00e4tzung f\u00fcr das Chaos zugrunde. Steels Begr\u00fcndung ist, dass die Summe des Ganzen gr\u00f6\u00dfer ist als die einzelnen Teile. Umgekehrt kann die Qualit\u00e4t und Wirksamkeit einer Werbekampagne leiden, wenn eine Perspektive dominiert. Chaos, so Steel, kann n\u00fctzlich sein, um Kunden die beste Arbeit zu liefern.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Einfluss des Umfelds auf die Werbeforschung<\/li>\n<li>In welche Stimmung versetzt es sie?<\/li>\n<li>Chance (sollte gef\u00f6rdert werden)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Steel zieht dar\u00fcber hinaus eine unerwartete Parallele zwischen Quantenphysik und Werbung, und zwar in Bezug auf das Chaos. Letztendlich impliziert Steel, dass das Chaos und der Wunsch nach widerspr\u00fcchlichen Perspektiven in der Quantenphysik seinem Ansatz der unterschiedlichen Perspektiven \u00e4hnelt.<\/p>\n<p>Steel continues to define Advertising according to Jeff Goodby&#8217;s definition: getting into one\u2019s mind and changing one\u2019s mind, but not telling one how to think. Along these lines, Steel asserts that Advertising cannot sell something; instead it influences the mind, which can influence purchasing.<\/p>\n<p>So is advertising art or business? Goodby stated that Advertising was the Business of Changing Minds. Hence, it appears that Advertising is a mix of art and commerce, leaning toward commerce. Conceiving Advertising mostly as an art is problematic as it raises the problem of putting the interests of the creative above those of the client&#8217;s. Steel implies that Advertisers need to realize that the objective of their clients is to sell <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sisinternational.com\/de\/product-testing-that-turns-ideas-into-market-ready-success\/\" title=\"Product Testing That Turns Ideas into Market-Ready Success\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"7928\">products or ideas<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Ist Werbung au\u00dferdem eine Wissenschaft oder eine Kunst? Steel gibt an, dass Werbung keine Wissenschaft ist, weil sie die Komplexit\u00e4t menschlicher Emotionen vernachl\u00e4ssigt. Die Wissenschaft geht davon aus, dass man die Komponenten zerlegen und Dinge nach dem Maschinenmodell von Margaret Wheatley wieder zusammensetzen kann. \u00dcberm\u00e4\u00dfig wissenschaftliche Daten k\u00f6nnen laut Steel dazu f\u00fchren, dass man sich auf die B\u00e4ume konzentriert und den Wald vernachl\u00e4ssigt.<\/p>\n<p>Steel writes about the power of the unscientific method. He cites evidence that some of the best brains, including Einstein, Oppenheimer (a physicist), and Watson\/Crick, deviated from the scientific method by combining science and art (intuition, fantasy). Steel implies that this occurred because these great thinkers realized that the scientific method could not explain everything.<\/p>\n<p>Contextually, advertising <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sisinternational.com\/de\/die-neuen-amerikanischen-verbraucher-analyse-trends-fur-us-einzelhandler\/\" title=\"Die neuen amerikanischen Verbraucher \u2013 Analyse: Trends f\u00fcr US-Einzelh\u00e4ndler\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"7929\">faces several problems in reaching consumers<\/a>. Advertising is directed at people, and tries to tell them what to do. Messages have been overused. Consequently, people dislike advertising. Steel proposes that the Holy Trinity in Advertising consists of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Einfachheit<\/li>\n<li>gesunder Menschenverstand<\/li>\n<li>Kreativit\u00e4t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Ideen zur Forschung<\/strong><br \/>\nSteel asserts that clients assume that those on the outside share their same amount of knowledge, and that it was the role of the planner needs to change this. He indicates that the focus group moderator should have the power to introduce a completely new idea and deviate from the discussion <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sisinternational.com\/de\/sampling-techniques-in-qualitative-research-the-complete-guide-to-choosing-the-right-method\/\" title=\"Sampling Techniques in Qualitative Research: The Complete Guide to Choosing the Right Method\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"7930\">guide<\/a>. For example, he worked on a project on \u201cDisability Insurance,\u201d which by itself is a word that makes people shudder. Exploratory research was employed to allow the respondent to freely think and speak her thoughts. He found that respondents considered disability insurance as a necessary evil. As a result, the resulting ad campaign focused on the wide picture of the future and the realities that would impact some of the population. The message was that the company had your interests at heart.<\/p>\n<p>Steel also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sisinternational.com\/de\/claim-research-for-food-and-beverage-taste-tests-validating-your-product-claims\/\" title=\"Claim Research for Food and Beverage Taste Tests: Validating Your Product Claims\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"7924\">claims that researchers<\/a> need to look at what is not being said. Citing the example of a project for KPMG Peat Marwick, he had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sisinternational.com\/de\/how-to-conduct-in-depth-interviews-for-market-insights\/\" title=\"So f\u00fchren Sie ausf\u00fchrliche Interviews durch, um Markteinblicke zu gewinnen\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"7926\">conducted many interviews<\/a> with high-level executives. All <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sisinternational.com\/de\/losungen\/branding-und-kundenforschungslosungen\/storytelling-marktforschung\/\" title=\"Storytelling Marktforschung\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"7925\">research interviews consisted of the respondent telling<\/a> the interviewer that what they were saying was all confidential. Hence, he came up with the idea to make a slogan conveying the exciting, stealthy, and confidential nature of what KPMG did.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the book has invigorating examples of creative advertisements. Its easy-to-read writing style is consistent with his overall theories on simplicity and common sense in advertising. Its theories on advertising campaign are helpful in conceptualizing the most effective advertising campaign. Our only displeasure was that its ideas on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sisinternational.com\/de\/losungen\/marktforschung-zum-customer-lifetime-value\/\" title=\"Customer Lifetime Value Marktforschung\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"7927\">research did not add much in value<\/a> from other authors in the genre, such as Clotaire Rapaille author of the &#8220;Culture Code.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"full-image-float-left ssNonEditable\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 200px;\" src=\"\/storage\/2009-journal-images\/market-intelligence-journal\/tla.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1233894251615\" alt=\"\" \/><\/span><\/span>Im Rahmen unserer Reihe von Marketing-Buchrezensionen haben wir k\u00fcrzlich Jon Steels \u201eTruth, Lies and Advertising: the Art of Account Planning\u201c rezensiert.
