Deck Punch
That's all. I have declared jihad in terms of marketing and certain phrases.
It sounds ridiculous to you? Well, if you are struggling against the share of the purse or the application of guerrilla tactics to achieve your goal, then you can declare jihad.
We are all combatants now or what to think if you spend a day in the advertising industry. I once went to a client meeting where the Director of Marketing spoke about how to improve "his company of one-to-one customer communications, and make your brand more" customer-centric. " So this nice looking woman in his forties, he said, "I want to surround our messaging clients. I get to break them."
It was there and then I knew I would never succeed to communicate with anyone in a one-to one's capacity. He wanted to "surround" and "break".
We have other terms for these concepts in our society, "" assault and "trespass."
In Simply put, you can not use the language of war or criminal behavior and expect people like you. And you can not throw that stuff in the meetings you wish to be taken seriously, or that your agency or your client's brand to be considered in a positive light.
I know, military expressions are pervasive in our lives. Not Sure if it originated with Sun-Tzu, or veterans of World War II returning home to become men in gray flannel suits, but at some point the language of war became the language of business and marketing.
You hear every day in advertising agency or company that bet: "This is hands on deck. We need to add the creative firepower. That is, if we want to run some ads actually murderer. Understood? All right, blocking and Charge! "
Am I exaggerating? It's okay to embrace the language of war? After all, are just figures of speech, right? Wrong. It's easy to use war as a metaphor for business. It gives everything a false sense of urgency, which means that in every business decision that there are winners and outright losers.
There is a great cartoon of a man named Hugh MacLeod and has a very simple legend: "If you talk to people in publishing so talked to people who had a punch in the face. "It is absolutely right. So why legitimize the language in advertising? More insidious, why use that language in PowerPoint presentations and calls, and creative writing? Why allow our customers to put with a straight face?
Even in this era of digital video and the words still mean things. No matter if you think, how many people are phrases now conditioned to believe, nobody reads a holder of two or three of exemplary punishment to the body. Want to buy a house? You do not sign a picture of the house. You sign a long, binding legal contract, of which the majority of each word is carefully designed.
However, in everyday life, in meetings, emails and elsewhere, we are totally content to throw around do not have to go through the hyperbole strong language. Makes simple things seem more important they are. And lessens the impact of truly dangerous situations. I'll give an example.
At this point, we have 200,000 troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. Many spend their days to find and root out enemy fighters and insurgents. Sometimes have to go door to door, house to house. So what are you doing actually in the houses when they are forced to?
Surrounding. And breaking.
I promise you that our soldiers are not door to door salesman. What they are doing is really fighting for their lives. What you are doing is just advertising. There is a difference.
We have the ability to be uplifting in the words we use and the work we do. We have an obligation to help our clients communicate better with customers. So when we started to say things in a way more credible, we will have a much more positive effect on our business and the world.
I hope you agree with me. But I'm not looking to be victorious in this crusade. I just want to change some minds.

Poems from Punch $22.81 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: 1 Wakley’s Last A Pechham Elegy ‘I HE verdant sunbeam gaily sweeps O’er Peckham’s mosques and minarets; The moss-grey sapling fondly weeps Over the daisied lake, whose jets Perfume the hours and deck the air, And make fair Nature still more fair. Uprising, see the fitful lark Unfold his pinion to the stream, The pensive watch-dog’s mellow bark O’ershades yon cottage like a dream? The playful duck and warbling bee, Hop gaily on from tree to tree. How calmly could my spirit rest Beneath yon primrose-bell so blue, And watch those airy oxen, drest In every tint of purling hue, As on they hurl the gladsome plough, While fairy Zephyrs deck each bough. January 27,1844. The Pauper’s Song A HOUSELESS, famish’d, des- perate man, A ragged wretch am I, And how, and when, and where I can, I feed, and lodge, and lie. And I must to the Workhouse go, // better may not be; AY, //, indeed! the Workhouse ? No !? The Gaol,?the Gaol for me. There, shall I get the larger crust, The warmer house-room there ; And choose a Prison since I must, I’ll choose it for its fare. The dog will snatch the biggest bone, So much the wiser he: Call me a dog;?the name I’ll own:? The Gaol,?the Gaol for me. What, masters, am I not a Hound ? Have I a soul like you ?? You’d treat me better, I’ll be bound, If ye believed it true. The Pauper than the very Thief You use in worse degree; Keep to yourselves, then, your relief:? The Gaol,?the Gaol for me. The Felon’s dress is soft to feel As that which shames the Poor; The Convict eats as good a meal, But gets a little more. Pauper and Thief are much the same, For aught that I can see: Well then; what matter for the name ?- The Gaol?the Gaol for me. January 18, 1845. After-… |
