Uma nova teoria
Depois da famosa "teoria McDonald's" proposta por Thomas L. Friedman, na qual dois países com relações comerciais e restaurantes McDonald's terão menor probabilidade de entrar em guerra um com o outro (uma espécie de Pax Burger), eis que nos chega a teoria de relações internacionais do Starbucks:
"The higher the concentration of expensive, nautically themed, faux-Italian-branded Frappuccino joints in a country's financial capital, the more likely the country is to have suffered catastrophic financial losses."

"Food for thought"
"We work in an area burdened by jargon and complexity, but the best marketing strategies are defined in simple terms. If something is too complicated, then it’s time to start again."-- Andrew McGuiness, BMB

"Food for thought"
"People who despise consumerism and advertising are usually just as guilty (possibly far more so) of seeking status through Veblen effects. The Guardian-reader who shops organically and holidays in Macchu Picchu is far more guilty of displaying rarity-snobbery than a Sun reader who goes to Burger King and Benidorm."You got to love Rory Sutherland!
Great thesis. The only problem is that when the majority of the brands act as social levelers you will end up creating an anonymous and homogenized class of consumers.
That's why you have people trading up more often (the majority of the masses saving 3 month salary to buy a shirt from Prada) rather than trading down (the affluents eating McDonald's and flying EasyJet, for example).

"Think. Again."
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ The Atlantic Monthly //////////////////
"The Atlantic was born out of questioning. To not question the world around you is to choose to live in the dark. That's why we turned these Atlantic questions in neon questions, we took their questions out of the magazine into the street and this is how people responded."
-- José Ricardo Cabaço, Euro RSCG North American CCO

"Food for thought"
"Campbell's Soup has introduced chicken noodle soup with "25% less sodium." What does that say about Campbell's regular chicken noodle soup? That it has too much sodium? Then there's Campbell's Healthy Request line of soups. What does that say about Campbell's regular soups? That they're unhealthy? Then there's Campbell's Chunky soups. What does that say about Campbell's regular soups? That they're thin and watery?" -- Al Ries in Ad Age

"Tocas outra vez?"
Cadbury - Drumming Gorilla from Stepa Mitaki on Vimeo.
De acordo com o site Brand Republic e citando um estudo da TNS, o chocolate Dairy Milk da Cadbury's está a perder quota de mercado para a rival Galaxy.
Depois do estrondoso sucesso da campanha do "Gorila" do Juan Cabral (Fallon London), volta à baila o velho debate sobre se a publicidade serve para entreter apenas e gerar notoriedade per se ou se serve para criar propensão ao consumo (como se a última não fosse consequência da anterior).
Obviamente a publicidade é uma apenas um dos "P's". Obviamente a publicidade continua a ser o elo mais fraco quando os departamentos de marketing não acertam no resto.

"Liga-te ao mundo"
O Alvim quer ligar-se ao mundo.
[Este é um exercício interessante que recentemente voltou a ser adoptado pelas agências - «e se as pessoas fossem privadas do seu Whooper, telemóvel, computador, iPod, etc.?»]
Eco-fadiga?
I'm sick of everyone from Al Gore to the guy who mows my grass telling me to "go green." I'm tired of sifting through the "eco-safe" claims of products as diverse as cleansers, cars and cookies: recycled, recyclable, reusable, organic, all-natural, environmentally friendly, environmentally preferable, environmentally safe, biodegradable, compostable, ozone-friendly, zero-carbon, carbon-neutral … the list is limited only by the imaginations of the marketing geniuses who developed it.

A lógica da inovação
"Every generation innovates around a need that's relevant for the time. When my parents were growing up, there was a vitamin D deficiency, so somebody came up with fortified milk. It always starts with entrepreneurs and then becomes part of big companies. Nestlé started because its founder was a pediatrician whose wife had trouble breast-feeding, so now we have milk formula."-- J. Darius Bikoff, Founder Glacéau Vitaminwater

"That's hot"
"Paris's brand is about being hot and man and sex and fashion and fun. She is a beautiful girl with a rockin' body, and that never hurts."
- Howard Bragman, Hollywood publicist in Financial Times
Moral: Uma marca deve ser focada e não se meter em extensões que pouco ou nada têm a ver com o seu ADN (tipo política, não é menina Paris Hilton?).
