Sylabus

Marketing is a field that evolves as anything else. In the era of digitalisation, social networking, and the constant presence of mobile device screens, perhaps even a little more quickly. However, it should be noted that some basic principles will always apply. Famous Italian advertising photographer Oliviero Toscany, who became famous (at that time) for controversial campaigns for the Benetton brand, once said : “Advertising is scented carcass. The dead says: “He looks great as if he was smiling.” This is also true of advertising. Advertising is dead, but it still smiles… ” Unfortunately, Toscani is right, but while only advertising agencies would whisper that years ago, almost every child knows it today. Advertising is not dead, only some of the means which have been used for decades struck as irrelevant today, as they are not effective anymore, being unable to large proportion of the recipients. So what to do with advertising? Is advertising unnecessary? How to do it differently, effectively? Lets look into another famous quote:
“I throw out half of the money I give for advertising through the window. But I do not know which half. ” Today, thanks to tracking of almost anything in campaigns through digital technology we can find out which half. So our ads can still be effective, we can even streamline them, and we can still reach new customers through marketing communications. We just have to start doing it differently.
