The reason everything is wrong with traditional marketing is that it talks down to the consumer. It tells you what is right for you and not necessarily engages you and lets you decide for yourself.

Why should I waste my time trying to explain it, when this video does all that and more

 

 

There is a reason why this blog is called Marketing Amnesia. The reason is, if I talked to my wife like I chose to in a traditional advertisement, she would stand up, punch me in the face, kick me in the b%$#s and walk away.

Now that could be a wee bit painful...

Instead of being forced to forget traditional marketing, why not choose to do so.

Just that we wish we could do something of the sort or even worse to those annoying 10 second TVCs :)

The 10 seconder does the irritating act of attempting to convince through sheer persistence.

Like the video shows, most dialouge between advertiser and consumer is one sided. They say they care about what you think...but what they really mean is that they care about what you think as long as it jives with what they think.

    Marketing Amnesia??

    Marketing Amnesia was created to help the conventional marketer "forget" a lot of the stuff he has learnt & practiced.

    Web 2.0 has played the perfect role of a game changer, placing more power in the hands of the consumer.

    Consequently Marketing 2.0 is moving from being a fancy word to a legitimate thought
