Marketing blunders
Recommend on Google+
A good episode from Evan Davis on iplayer this week, on how advertising blunders can bring down empires! Good evaluation on how strategies to grow, don’t always succeed! (An example is Hoover’s free flights fiasco)
Evan Davis uncovers the astonishing inside stories of how some of world’s most successful businesses have made monumental mistakes. With British business leaders including Sir Richard Branson, Sir Martin Sorrell and Rita Clifton, Evan reveals how marketing and publicity plans can turn from clever ideas into commercial catastrophes.
Company insiders give their own accounts of these very public blunders, including how a bestselling soft drink hit the headlines and fell from favour; why there was such a backlash to a blip in a computer giant’s usually faultless PR handling; and how a jewellery empire was toppled with a few careless comments. Evan extracts universal lessons from each exceptional error in this essential guide to what not to do in business.
