Achieving Customer Mindshare through Advertising: Industry Leaders on Creating Awareness, Making a Lasting Impression, and Achieving Bottom-Line Results (Inside the Minds)
Achieving Customer Mindshare through Advertising is an authoritative, insider’s perspective on the key strategies for gaining, measuring, and maintaining the evolving concept of mindshare. Featuring presidents and CEOs representing some of the nation’s leading advertising agencies, this book provides a broad, yet comprehensive overview of the process involved in trying to become a dominant brand in the marketplace. Discussing the difficulty of reaching the consumer through today’s barrage of media, these authors articulate the finer points of an industry focused on translating mindshare and brand reputation into market share and increased revenue. From the role of memory and emotion in gaining brand stakeholders to the use of new media and technology to attract consumers, these authorities offer practical and adaptable strategies for creating brand awareness through quality products and authentic messaging. The different niches represented and the breadth of perspectives presented enable readers to get inside some of the great innovative minds of today, as experts offer an insider’s glimpse into this consumer-driven industry.
Inside the Minds provides readers with proven business intelligence from C-Level executives (Chairman, CEO, CFO, CMO, Partner) from the world’s most respected companies nationwide, rather than third-party accounts from unknown authors and analysts. Each chapter is comparable to an essay/thought leadership piece and is a future-oriented look at where an industry, profession, or topic is headed and the most important issues for the future. Through an exhaustive selection process, each author was hand-picked by the Inside the Minds editorial board to author a chapter for this book.
