Si bien se centra en la publicidad, el contenido del libro puede aplicarse a otras ramas de los servicios de marketing. En particular, est\u00e1bamos ansiosos por leer su perspectiva sobre la investigaci\u00f3n de mercado en campa\u00f1as publicitarias.<\/p>\n<p>El objetivo de Steel es proponer un nuevo modelo de publicidad basado en la complejidad de las personas y sus emociones. El modelo incorpora una asociaci\u00f3n de partes interesadas en una campa\u00f1a publicitaria:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>perspectiva empresarial del cliente<\/li>\n<li>perspectiva creativa de la agencia<\/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>Al \u201ctriangular\u201d estas perspectivas, uno se acerca m\u00e1s a la verdad. Detr\u00e1s de este modelo est\u00e1 su aprecio por el caos. La justificaci\u00f3n de Steel es que la suma del todo es mayor que las partes individuales. Por el contrario, si se permite que domine una perspectiva, la calidad y eficacia de una campa\u00f1a publicitaria pueden verse afectadas. El caos, indica Steel, puede ser \u00fatil para ofrecer el mejor trabajo a los clientes.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Entorno que afecta la investigaci\u00f3n sobre publicidad<\/li>\n<li>\u00bfEn qu\u00e9 estado de \u00e1nimo los pone?<\/li>\n<li>Oportunidad (debe fomentarse)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Steel contin\u00faa estableciendo un paralelo inesperado entre la f\u00edsica cu\u00e1ntica y la publicidad, en referencia al caos. En \u00faltima instancia, Steel implica que el caos y el deseo de perspectivas conflictivas en la F\u00edsica Cu\u00e1ntica es similar a su enfoque de perspectivas diversas.<\/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\/es\/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>Adem\u00e1s, \u00bfla publicidad es una ciencia o un arte? Steel afirma que la publicidad no es una ciencia porque ignora la complejidad de las emociones humanas. La ciencia supone que se pueden descomponer los componentes y reconstruir cosas seg\u00fan el modelo de m\u00e1quina de Margaret Wheatley. Seg\u00fan Steel, datos demasiado cient\u00edficos pueden centrarse en los \u00e1rboles y descuidar el bosque.<\/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\/es\/las-nuevas-tendencias-de-analisis-de-los-consumidores-estadounidenses-que-enfrentan-los-minoristas-estadounidenses\/\" title=\"El nuevo an\u00e1lisis de los consumidores estadounidenses: tendencias que enfrentan los minoristas estadounidenses\"  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>sencillez<\/li>\n<li>sentido com\u00fan<\/li>\n<li>creatividad<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Ideas sobre la investigaci\u00f3n<\/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\/es\/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\/es\/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\/es\/how-to-conduct-in-depth-interviews-for-market-insights\/\" title=\"C\u00f3mo realizar entrevistas exhaustivas para obtener informaci\u00f3n sobre el mercado\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"7926\">conducted many interviews<\/a> with high-level executives.

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\/es\/soluciones\/investigacion-de-mercado-del-valor-de-vida-del-cliente\/\" title=\"Estudio de mercado sobre el valor del ciclo de vida del cliente\"  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>Como parte de nuestra serie de rese\u00f1as de libros de marketing, recientemente revisamos &quot;Verdad, mentiras y publicidad: el arte de la planificaci\u00f3n de cuentas&quot; de Jon Steel.
