Sebbene focalizzato sulla pubblicit\u00e0, il contenuto del libro pu\u00f2 essere applicato in modo fattibile ad altri rami dei servizi di marketing. In particolare, eravamo ansiosi di leggere la sua prospettiva sulle ricerche di mercato nelle campagne pubblicitarie.<\/p>\n<p>L&#039;obiettivo di Steel \u00e8 proporre un nuovo modello di pubblicit\u00e0 basato sulla complessit\u00e0 delle persone e delle loro emozioni. Il modello incorpora una partnership di stakeholder in una campagna pubblicitaria:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>prospettiva di business del cliente<\/li>\n<li>prospettiva creativa dell&#039;agenzia<\/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>Nel \u201ctriangolare\u201d queste prospettive, \u00e8 possibile individuarle pi\u00f9 vicine alla verit\u00e0. Alla base di questo modello c\u2019\u00e8 il suo apprezzamento per il caos. La giustificazione di Steel \u00e8 che la somma del tutto \u00e8 maggiore delle singole parti. Al contrario, se si lascia che una prospettiva prevalga, la qualit\u00e0 e l\u2019efficacia di una campagna pubblicitaria possono risentirne. Il caos, indica Steel, pu\u00f2 essere utile per fornire il miglior lavoro ai clienti.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>L&#039;ambiente che influenza la ricerca sulla pubblicit\u00e0<\/li>\n<li>In che stato d&#039;animo li mette?<\/li>\n<li>Possibilit\u00e0 (dovrebbe essere incoraggiata)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Steel prosegue inoltre tracciando un inaspettato parallelo tra la fisica quantistica e la pubblicit\u00e0, in riferimento al caos. In definitiva, Steel implica che il caos e il desiderio di prospettive contrastanti nella fisica quantistica sono simili al suo approccio di prospettive diverse.<\/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\/it\/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>Del resto, la pubblicit\u00e0 \u00e8 una scienza o un&#039;arte? Steel afferma che la pubblicit\u00e0 non \u00e8 una scienza perch\u00e9 trascura la complessit\u00e0 delle emozioni umane. La scienza presuppone che sia possibile scomporre i componenti e ricostruire le cose secondo il modello della macchina di Margaret Wheatley. Dati eccessivamente scientifici possono, secondo Steel, concentrarsi sugli alberi e trascurare la foresta.<\/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\/it\/i-nuovi-trend-di-analisi-dei-consumatori-americani-che-si-presentano-a-noi-retailer\/\" title=\"La nuova analisi dei consumatori americani: tendenze dei rivenditori statunitensi\"  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>semplicit\u00e0<\/li>\n<li>buon senso<\/li>\n<li>creativit\u00e0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Idee sulla ricerca<\/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\/it\/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\/it\/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\/it\/how-to-conduct-in-depth-interviews-for-market-insights\/\" title=\"Come condurre interviste approfondite per ottenere informazioni di mercato\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"7926\">conducted many interviews<\/a> with high-level executives. All <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sisinternational.com\/it\/soluzioni\/soluzioni-di-branding-e-ricerca-clienti\/narrazione-di-ricerche-di-mercato\/\" title=\"Ricerche di mercato sul racconto di storie\"  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\/it\/soluzioni\/ricerche-di-mercato-sul-valore-della-vita-del-cliente\/\" title=\"Ricerche di mercato sul valore della vita 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>Nell&#039;ambito della nostra serie di recensioni di libri di marketing, abbiamo recentemente recensito &quot;Verit\u00e0, bugie e pubblicit\u00e0: l&#039;arte della pianificazione dell&#039;account&quot; di Jon Steel.
