Comment on Brand Relevancy in the Age of Frugality by C.B. Whittemore

The whitepaper and discussion about the age of frugality is fascinating. I’ve just referred to it in a post titled “Simplifying has a lot to do with green” on http://SimpleMarketingBlog.com.

I completely agree with you that this shift in values and buying behaviors affects all customers. Businesses must pay attention if they intend to remain relevant and in business. It seems so obvious but many remain skeptical.

Great summary of the event, Greg. I especially agree with the point made at the event that companies without social responsibility ingrained in their culture will have a harder and harder time competing eith companies that do.

Excellent insights on the insight business! You nailed it when you wrote that smart insights are the result of grueling work. A good marketer needs the instincts of an investigative reporter…dig, dig, discard, then dig some more…then connect the dots. It’s always a memorable moment when a marketer says “I got it” and they really do! If it comes too quick you probably don’t have the real deal. I have a hunch that the expertise at Sieck Growth has a bunch more of those magic moments awaiting smart clients.

Your email introducing your new website happened to come immediately after an email from a colleague pointing to an interesting approach to insight gathering.

The video features Kelley Styring on a road trip getting inspiration from digging though the contents of people’s cars.

Greg: great site.
Relevant.
I think you’ve nailed it for what marketers need NOW.
Smart Brand positioning comes from hard work and insights.
And your portfolio has all that. Without the glut, fat, or lethargic moves that committees have. Good wishes on the new model.
You’ll do very very well I predict.
