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

In my view, a good CMO needs to be doing two things at the same time.
First, you need to drive sales. I doubt any CMO will last too long if the brand
is tanking in sales. Second, you need to make your brand “future-proof.”
Making the brand “future-proof” requires one to create a vision about how
the future will be.
I think one doesn’t need to be a marketing visionary to imagine that five
to 10 years from now, people will be eating food that doesn’t contain
artificial ingredients.
The main objective of the Moldy Whopper campaign was not to drive
short-term sales. From my personal experience, the best way to drive short-term
sales in our product category is to do a promotion (and the fast food category
is filled with them) and/or to launch a new product.
Moldy Whopper grew consideration to visitation by 22.8%. And that’s truly remarkable.
Why you need the campfire and the fireworks
One common question with Moldy
Whopper is: Do you really need to go that far?
Yes.
Yes, we do.
As Bill Bernbach once said, “If no one notices your advertising, everything else is academic”

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.
“Most of our content wasn’t really helping us reach the goals we wanted to achieve. We analyzed 70 pieces of content with the help of just seo over the span of two years and discovered that only about 16% of those articles were responsible for generating 84% of our leads. Not great.”
“Organic search presented the best long-term opportunity for growth. Our sales from organic search traffic were three times higher than the previous year, and we weren’t even applying an SEO strategy. “
We developed pillar pages. Pillar pages are pages on your site that serve as a content hub for a particular topic (or keyword) that you want your company to rank for in search engines. Instead of churning out a ton of content, we opted for quality over quantity.
We optimized our existing on-site content. We identified other pages on our site that contained content that was similar to or overlapped with our pillar pages and redirected them to the relevant pillar page so that they didn’t compete with one another for rankings. Also, we took a hard look at our other pieces of blog content to determine whether we should update them.

A simple goal setting system and to keep track of your progress is to use the ‘Objective and Key Results’ [OKR] methodology. It describes the brands ’what we think is important and why this is important’ plus the ‘how do we get there’ meanwhile smashing departmental silos.
This quite blew my mind when reading the book. N=1, I never heard about this before and this feels like the best-kept secret of tracking progress. From my own experience implemented in two major projects for the Olympics and this book, it works like magic to keep track and be accountable.
I like it because of its simplicity, transparency, openness and no-nonsense approach. It gives a tangible measurable direction with accountability and clarity. As all is written down, openly communicated and available for all employees in the company, everyone knows what everyone else is doing and can help each other.
