Links“Defer no time, delays have dangerous ends.” — William Shakespeare, “We keep seeing an upsurge in ‘Ambush Marketing.’ Ambush marketing is a marketing / advertising / promotional campaign that takes place around an event but does not involve payment of a sponsorship fee. Brands pay to become the ‘exclusive’ and ‘official sponsor’ of the high-level event, usually in a particular category or categories. Other brands then find ways to promote themselves in connection with the same event, without paying the sponsorship fee and without breaking any laws. Tricky and controversial examples:
— Larry Steven Londre, 2010 “Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.” — Thomas Edison “One result of the high prices for textbooks is that students may just not purchase books, and their grades can suffer because of it.” — February 2012, Daily Bruin “If like Larry Londre you have a sharp eye for the small things—handmade branding labels on a jar of honey; “rooms for rent” and “cafeteria” signs; cuentapropistas selling at a street fair or street market; a donkey posing for tourist pictures—you should see and hear his lively talk on marketing and advertising in Cuba. It is a fresh insight about the first shoots of the economic spring that may be coming to Cuba.” Walter W. Arensberg, National Geographic Expert, Cuba; Managing Director, Social Capital Group, Washington D.C. “Insightful. Intuitive. Thoughtful. With vast experience traveling the globe and teaching in the classroom, Larry brings poignant observation and curiosity to marketing from being deeply immersed in cultures. Larry’s direct and humorous delivery allows the audience to absorb his knowledge and perceptions while surrounded by his ‘field of research’ - the world.” Eric Kruszewski, award-winning photojournalist “Ignorance is a powerful tool if applied at the right time, even — E. J. Potter “We live in the present, we dream in the future, but we learn eternal — Soon May-Lin “The entrepreneur, as a creator of the new and a destroyer of the old, — Theodore J. Forstmann “The traditional ways of seeking competitive advantage are redundant and ...the company’s future lies with the ability to analyze the very considerable volumes of data it amasses about itself.” — The Financial Times “Obstacles are things an entrepreneur sees when he takes his eyes off the sales goal.” — Larry Steven Londre '07 “The group project has been such a great experience. I’m really learning a lot about marketing, advertising and the advertising process. I love your class.” Maxine Perkins, student “Problems are the price of progress. Don’t bring me anything but trouble. Good news weakens me.” — Charles F. Kettering “I sell products, not advertising.” — Don Draper, Partner and “Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.” — Thomas Edison “Often you just have to rely on your intuition.” — Bill Gates “Competitors can’t shoot you off the fence if they can’t get you in their sights.” — John Barry, “Only boring people are bored.” — Betty Draper, “Right now, we are experiencing a massive explosion of creativity in tech and media, an extraordinary flowering of content and collaboration.” — Fast Company, “Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in event of success.” — Sir Ernest Shackleton “There is no such thing as a mass mind. The mass audience is made up of individuals, and good advertising is written always from one person to another. When it is aimed at millions it rarely moves anyone.” — Fairfax Cone, founder of Foote, Cone and Belding, and member of Advertising Hall of Fame “What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?” — Vincent van Gogh “The optimist sees the rose and not its thorns; the pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious of the rose.” — Kahlil Gibran, Lebanese writer “When we think about privacy, it’s a huge topic and subject in my seminars and in the classroom. It’s in the top three topics of interactive marketing, along with social and mobile.” — Larry Steven Londre (2011) “Modern technology favors the skilled. In a freer world, skill and intellect would still be rewarded, in some cases magnificently well.” — The Economist “If you can’t fly, run. If you can’t run, walk. If you can’t walk, crawl. But by all means, keep moving.” — Martin Luther King, Jr. |
