Brand mythologyJournal of Brand Management - Tập 7 - Trang 405-411 - 2000
Sanjay Nazerali
The world has too many good products, marketed too well. ‘The gentle art of persuasion’ has become a commodity. Creative excellence, honesty and new product development no longer provide the basis for sustained competitive advantage. Instead marketing needs to be re-invented as ‘the gentle art of mattering’. To matter is to play a unique developmental role in the life of a consumer. This developme...... hiện toàn bộ

So while it is important for brands to behave responsibly, they should not expect much commercial return — or social impact — from traditional CSR ac...... hiện toàn bộ
