Dear subscriber,
Let’s talk about truth in advertising.
Truth in advertising is like love, Waldo, and a good barber – very hard to find.
But if you look hard enough and long enough, you sometimes get lucky and find it.
Like I did last week. That’s right. I found a company that has based its entire marketing campaign on brutal honesty. They are now America’s fastest-growing company in the health and wellness space. Not only do they do marketing their product with bare naked truth, but they do it with a sense of humor. Powerful combo, my friend.
The CEO of this company is a diabolically clever dude. Not only is he very intelligent, but he’s a complete maverick (the two normally go together). And, like all mavericks, he’s totally unemployable. This guy’s been booted out of more advertising agencies than Keith Moon was kicked out of hotels.
Why?
Simply because this guy’s marketing ideas are seen to be (at least by all the advertising suits) too crazy and outlandish.
Well, this dude had the last laugh. You see, this cat went off and started his own business, and his marketing campaigns are now so successful, so good, and so impactful that they are the envy of every advertising agency in the world. In fact, his marketing campaigns are being used as a case study at Harvard Business school and other prominent business schools that teach marking and branding.
Ah, so what?
How can this guy’s success help you and your business?
Well, it depends.
It depends on whether you get to read the June issue or not.
You see, the June issue is chock-a-block full of marketing and branding secrets taken straight out of this marketing genius’s playbook.
Here are some of those secrets inside this issue:
*An oldie but goodie advertising trick (used by many bottled water companies in the 90s) for getting consumers to (1) adopt a new way of thinking (2) create new habits, and (3) want to buy from your brand. Here’s how you can use it in your business… – page 9
*A borderline devious (but totally ethical) marketing trick used by the world’s top advertising agencies to help brands capture market share in overheated markets. (If you’re in a cutthroat market where your competitors are selling similar products, then carefully read page 10 and apply what you learn therein and watch what happens.)
*Why white-collar professionals should study the advertising of brands such as Snickers, Skittles, Budweiser, and Cheetos. (I realize this advice seems a little strange, but if you’re a lawyer, chiropractor, accountant realtor, doctor, or software developer, for example, this could very well be the best marketing advice you ever get. – page 11)
*Perhaps the #1 most underrated element in all of marketing. Why this viciously effective marketing element is ignored by so many marketers is beyond me. But Brands that embrace this element seem to always do better than their competitors that don’t. (This powerful marketing element is a major part of my personal brand, and I believe it’s responsible for my small but rabid and fiercely loyal customer base. See full details on page 12)
