Les Binet on COVID-19

Posted on by

Must read for marketeers

The COVID-19 recession is not just an economic recession – it’s also a humanitarian, social and political crisis – which means that the normal rules of marketing and business may not apply.
In this article, Les Binet (Head of Effectiveness, adam&eveDDB) explores:

  • How businesses should focus on doing what is most helpful and in the public interest, rather than focusing on making money in the short term
  • What brands could do to help “The War Effort”, how a brand behaves may have a bigger effect on brand perceptions than advertising
  • Whether direct response advertising can also play an important functional role
  • Opportunities for some big, emotional, morale-boosting advertising, without looking opportunistic and self-serving

Great read! why adidas shifts its digital comms strategy… “4 yrs ago its #attribution modeling was based on last-click and it didn’t do any #brandtracking. It also focused on #efficiency over #effectiveness, leading it to look at specific KPIs and how to reduce their cost rather than what was in the best interests of its brands.”

“Adidas introduced a new campaign framework with emotional, brand-driving activity at the centre. This was an attempt to connect with consumers around major campaigns three or four times a year, while at the same time Adidas ran advertising with a rational message.”

Adidas: We over-invested in digital advertising
Adidas admits that a focus on efficiency rather than effectiveness led it to over-focus on ROI and over-invest in performance and digital at the expense of brand building.
