What Sticks is the one book that explains exactly how marketing and advertising works today! Based on new insights from analysis of over $1 billion worth of advertising.
Decades ago it was okay to believe, as retail magnate John Wanamaker did, that "Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is, I don't know which half." However, today the stakes are much higher. Marketing thought leaders Rex Briggs and Greg Stuart estimate that $112 billion in advertising spending in the U.S. alone is wasted, cutting deeply into company profits.
What Sticks uncovers bold new insights from the largest-ever global marketing research project among 30 Fortune 200 companies, including: Procter & Gamble, Johnson & Johnson, Kraft, McDonalds, Unilever, Ford and others. This is a comprehensive and solutions-oriented book that outlines how any marketer, at any level, can guarantee their advertising succeeds.
Marketers cannot ignore the findings or the solutions revealed in What Sticks, such as:
- Why 47% of the advertising campaigns studied didn't work and what you can do to guarantee yours does
- How to spend the same advertising budget, but get better results
- How to get your CFO and CEO to eagerly increase your marketing & advertising budget
- How to forecast next year's advertising budget (Hint: It's not by using last year's spending!)
- How to immediately fix your advertising by applying these principles and real nuggets of wisdom
