A pedido do André Kirkelis (Leo Burnett, S. Paulo) segue um trecho de uma recente entrevista dada pelo Lemmy dos Motorhead sobre o seu segredo com as mulheres e o facto de ter sido eleito pela revista Maxim como uma das "10 Lendas Vivas do Sexo".
"Ah, insights, everybody these days talks about insights. A consumer insight is like God - present everywhere but not seen, felt or easily understood. Verbatim judgments, linearly-observed consumer behaviour, or simply aphorisms for life are often passed off as insights. However, to get insights, you need deeper thinking. An insight is what connects the advertising idea to brand attributes via consumer life."

John Grant, co-fundador da agência St. Lukes, planner e autor de diversos livros entre os quais os conhecidíssimos "The New Marketing Manifesto" e o "After Image", tem agora um blog chamado Brandtarot.
Num dos seus posts, o John faz a seguinte e pertinente observação:
... dá que ruminar e pensar sobre o assunto, não dá?





"Starbucks should have learned a lesson from McDonald's, a brand that has resurrected itself not by adding things to the menu, but by getting back to basics. They talk fruit and salads, but it's the simplicity of the dollar menu and the appeal of the double cheeseburger that has brought the dollars back to the bottom line." - Laura Ries, Advertising Age
"The competitors squaring off against each other in this battle for the hearts and minds of viewers are the likes of Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Nike, Adidas, Carlsberg and Budweiser. There is the added dimension of pitting the 15 official Fifa World Cup sponsors, which cough up a hefty $30m to $50m for the right to use official logos and branding, against their rivals, which look to create clever 'unofficial' campaigns and steal the limelight."
"I think football ads have descended into globetrotting showboating. It has been brought about by people like Nike and Pepsi - and has tragically been followed by Adidas. The fact that you can't tell the difference between brands means it is a waste of money. You can't tell a Nike from
an Adidas from a beer from a pizza."
