| funny quotes about marketing: Delusions of Brandeur Ryan Wallman, 2019-12-23 I love this book. Anything I spend my time on, I either have to learn something or be entertained, with this book I get both - along with great art direction. The only problem is that the people it takes the piss out of won't know how funny it is. But that's okay, they'll buy it thinking it's a genuine 'How to' guide. Dave Trott, Author and Advertising Legend. If you're a fan of books by people like Gary V and Simon Sinek, you should probably stop reading now. This book is the opposite of those. And not just because it won't be anywhere near as popular. Delusions of Brandeur is an antidote to the insanity that now pervades the marketing industry. A collection of articles, satirical posts and assorted miscellany, it is a no-holds-barred commentary on modern marketing, advertising and business. Is it an invaluable guide that will guarantee your marketing success? No. But is it exhaustively researched and full of evidence? Also no. So what the hell is in it for you, then? A fair amount of good sense, some laughs, and plenty of handy snippets that you can use at your next meeting with fans of Gary V and Simon Sinek. Wallman slips into his Raging Bull costume and stampedes through the marketing industry smashing every bit of phony china in sight. What wonderful fun! Bob Hoffman, Author, Former Advertising CEO, and the original Ad Contrarian. Marketing leaders the world over, get your hands on this book. You may not have mine because I can't put it down (except when weeping with laughter). Maureen Blandford, B2B Tech CMO, Author. Marketing has been walking around in the emperor's new clothes, with a big pair of shiny new AI/VR bollocks on public display, but Ryan has thankfully come along and lopped them off with his sharp satirical scythe of perceptive brilliance. Giles Edwards, Co-Founder and Creative Director at Gasp. As with all really good satire, smuggled inside every one of Wallman's lovingly-crafted jokes is a serious message: that too many marketers reject proven principles for unproven pseudo-science, plain English for pretentious marketing jargon, the tried and tested for the shiny and new. Tom Roach, Head of Effectiveness at adam&eveDDB. A former doctor takes a scalpel to the advertising industry. Not only is this a marvellous book - but no one but Dr. Wallman could have written it. Rory Sutherland, Vice Chairman at Ogilvy UK, TED Global speaker, Author. Is it a guide book for our industry? Or is it a good laugh at our industry? It's both. It's Ryan at his most erudite and entertaining. And it's Gasp at their most gorgeous. Get it to get ahead - or to get the hell out of the mess we've made of marketing, branding and advertising. Vikki Ross, Copy Chief. Thoroughly digestible, very insightful, loads of great tips (for people who are trapped in places where the bullshit is inescapable) and funny as fuck - cutting through the nonsense in the way that only Ryan knows how. Top work. Dave Harland, Copywriter. The good Doctor slides his satirical blade between the Marketing body's ribs using humour as laughing gas. Just wait 'til they all come round. And it's not as funny as they thought. Mark Sareff, Director at Prophecy Consulting & former Chief Strategy Officer at Ogilvy Australia. Marketing as we know it is dead. It's just been completely annihilated by Ryan Wallman. Somewhere between a comedy roast and a how-not-to guide, this book is an utter goldmine for the beginners, side-splitting for the seasoned, and utterly baffling for the 'experts'. Satire so sharp it will slice you - and you'll say thank you. Clare Barry, Copywriter and Queen of Sass. A Gasp Book (published by Gasp 2019) |

| funny quotes about marketing: Humor in Advertising Marc G. Weinberger, Charles S. Gulas, Charles R. Taylor, 2021-06-21 Humor has long been one of the most common approaches used in advertising. Whether in a big televised event like the Super Bowl or in new forms of digital advertising, everyone is exposed to funny ads, some of which both entertain the audience and help sell a product. Yet, the use of humor in advertising is complex; clearly not all humorous ads are successful. This comprehensive volume both summarizes the cumulative state of knowledge on humor in advertising and provides new cutting-edge research on key topics such as humor’s use in conjunction with emotional and sexual appeals, its use in digital advertising, and issues related to gender and cross-cultural applicability. Special emphasis is placed on defining humorous advertising and types of humor used, as well as outlining what conditions work for advertisers. The chapters examine humor in advertising and add insights on several cutting-edge issues in this stream of research. An overview article summarizing the overall body of literature accumulated over 50 years of research on humorous advertising defines types of humorous appeals. The degree to which humor is effective and the boundary conditions associated with when and how it works best in advertising is discussed. New research articles further contribute to cumulative knowledge by exploring the interaction of humor with other issues and techniques such as whether it travels internationally, gender issues, its use in conjunction with emotional and sexual appeals, and its presence in the digital contexts. The book concludes with an in-depth look at the evolution of humorous appeals over the oldest traditional advertising medium—outdoor advertising. The chapters in this book were originally published in International Journal of Advertising. |

| funny quotes about marketing: It's Not Easy Bein' Me Rodney Dangerfield, 2009-08-11 An American comic icon tells the story of his second–act rise from obscurity to multimedia stardom. When I was a kid, writes Rodney Dangerfield, I worked tough places in show business––places like Fonzo's Knuckle Room. Or Aldo's, formerly Vito's, formerly Nunzio's. That was a tough joint. I looked at the menu. They had broken leg of lamb. For once, one of America's most beloved comic icons isn't kidding. Dangerfield has seen every aspect of the entertainment industry: the rough–and–tumble nightclubs, the backstage gag–writing sessions, the drugs, the hookers, the lousy day jobs – and the red–carpet star treatment. As he traces his route from a poor childhood on Long Island to his enshrinement as a comedy legend, he takes readers on a roller–coaster ride through a life that has been alternately touching, sordid, funny, raunchy, and uplifting – equal parts Little Orphan Annie and Caligula. And unlike most celebrity autobiographers, he seems to have no qualms about delivering the unfiltered whole story, warts and all. Dangerfield's personal story is also a rollicking show business tale, full of marquee name–droppings (Adam Sandler, Sam Kinison, Jim Carrey, Johnny Carson, Jerry Seinfeld) and good stories about same. Defying the old saws about the fleeting nature of fame and the dearth of second acts in American life, Dangerfield transformed himself from a debt–ridden aluminium–siding salesman named Jack Roy to a multimedia superstar – and stayed an icon for decades. His catchphrase – I get no respect – has entered the lexicon, and he remains a visible cultural presence and perennial talk–show guest. Dangerfield's hilarious and inspiring musings should thrill comedy fans and pop–culture watchers, and his second–act comeback will strike a chord with readers of all stripes. Maybe he'll even get some respect. |

| funny quotes about marketing: Shoe Dog Phil Knight, 2016-04-26 In this instant and tenacious New York Times bestseller, Nike founder and board chairman Phil Knight “offers a rare and revealing look at the notoriously media-shy man behind the swoosh” (Booklist, starred review), illuminating his company’s early days as an intrepid start-up and its evolution into one of the world’s most iconic, game-changing, and profitable brands. Bill Gates named Shoe Dog one of his five favorite books of the year and called it “an amazing tale, a refreshingly honest reminder of what the path to business success really looks like. It’s a messy, perilous, and chaotic journey, riddled with mistakes, endless struggles, and sacrifice. Phil Knight opens up in ways few CEOs are willing to do.” Fresh out of business school, Phil Knight borrowed fifty dollars from his father and launched a company with one simple mission: import high-quality, low-cost running shoes from Japan. Selling the shoes from the trunk of his car in 1963, Knight grossed eight thousand dollars that first year. Today, Nike’s annual sales top $30 billion. In this age of start-ups, Knight’s Nike is the gold standard, and its swoosh is one of the few icons instantly recognized in every corner of the world. But Knight, the man behind the swoosh, has always been a mystery. In Shoe Dog, he tells his story at last. At twenty-four, Knight decides that rather than work for a big corporation, he will create something all his own, new, dynamic, different. He details the many risks he encountered, the crushing setbacks, the ruthless competitors and hostile bankers—as well as his many thrilling triumphs. Above all, he recalls the relationships that formed the heart and soul of Nike, with his former track coach, the irascible and charismatic Bill Bowerman, and with his first employees, a ragtag group of misfits and savants who quickly became a band of swoosh-crazed brothers. Together, harnessing the electrifying power of a bold vision and a shared belief in the transformative power of sports, they created a brand—and a culture—that changed everything. |

| funny quotes about marketing: Feed M. T. Anderson, 2010-05-11 Identity crises, consumerism, and star-crossed teenage love in a futuristic society where people connect to the Internet via feeds implanted in their brains. Winner of the LA Times Book Prize. For Titus and his friends, it started out like any ordinary trip to the moon - a chance to party during spring break and play around with some stupid low-grav at the Ricochet Lounge. But that was before the crazy hacker caused all their feeds to malfunction, sending them to the hospital to lie around with nothing inside their heads for days. And it was before Titus met Violet, a beautiful, brainy teenage girl who knows something about what it’s like to live without the feed-and about resisting its omnipresent ability to categorize human thoughts and desires. Following in the footsteps of George Orwell, Anthony Burgess, and Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., M. T. Anderson has created a brave new world - and a hilarious new lingo - sure to appeal to anyone who appreciates smart satire, futuristic fiction laced with humor, or any story featuring skin lesions as a fashion statement. |

| funny quotes about marketing: Your Ad Ignored Here Tom Fishburne, 2017-10-24 Tom is the David Ogilvy of cartooning. --Seth Godin, author of Purple Cow From the birth of social media to digital advertising to personal branding, marketing has transformed in the past 15 years. Capturing these quintessential moments in marketing is Marketoonist, a popular cartoon series from veteran marketer Tom Fishburne. Your Ad Ignored Here collects nearly 200 of these hilarious and apt depictions of modern marketing life on the 15th anniversary of the series. Fishburne began to doodle his observations in 2002 when working in the trenches of marketing. Initially intended for co-workers, they are now read by hundreds of thousands of marketers every week. The cartoons' popularity stem not only from their deft reflections on latest trends, but their witty summary of the shared experiences of marketing -- handling a PR crisis, giving creative feedback to an agency, or avoiding idea killers in innovation. Your Ad Ignored Here gives voice to the challenges and opportunities faced by people working in business everywhere. Readers regularly inquire if Fishburne is spying on them at work. Whether or not you work in marketing, these cartoons will make you laugh ... and think about our rapidly evolving world of work. Tom Fishburne started drawing cartoons on the backs of business cases as a student at Harvard Business School. Fishburne's cartoons have grown by word of mouth to reach hundreds of thousands of marketers every week and have been featured by The Wall Street Journal, Fast Company, and The New York Times. His cartoons have appeared on a billboard ad in Times Square, helped win a Guinness World Record, and turned up in a top-secret NSA presentation released by Edward Snowden. Fishburne draws (literally and figuratively) from 20 years in the marketing trenches in the US and Europe. He was Marketing VP at Method Products, Interim CMO at HotelTonight, and worked in brand management for Nestlé and General Mills. Fishburne developed web sites and digital campaigns for interactive agency iXL in the late 90s and started his marketing career selling advertising space for the first English-language magazine in Prague. In 2010, Fishburne expanded Marketoonist into a marketing agency focused on the unique medium of cartoons. Since 2010, Marketoonist has developed visual content marketing campaigns for businesses such as Google, IBM, Kronos, and LinkedIn. Fishburne is a frequent keynote speaker on marketing, innovation, and creativity, using cartoons, case studies, and his marketing career to tell the story visually. Fishburne lives and draws near San Francisco with his wife and two daughters. All of his cartoons and observations are posted at marketoonist.com. Advance Praise for Your Ad Ignored Here If marketing kept a diary, this would be it. --Ann Handley, Chief Content Officer of MarketingProfs Laugh and learn at the same time. BTW, if you don't laugh, you're clueless, and the cartoon is about you. --Guy Kawasaki, Chief evangelist of Canva, Mercedes-Benz brand ambassador Tom Fishburne has a knack for marketing humor (and truth) like no other. --Lee Odden, CEO, TopRank Marketing Any great piece of comedy is funny because its true. Well, no one has gathered marketing truths through painfully awkward insights and hilarious delivery the way Tom has. --Ron Tite, Author, Everyone's An Artist (Or At Least They Should Be) |

| funny quotes about marketing: Before and Laughter Jimmy Carr, 2022-05-10 *A memoir and self-help manual by one of the country's most treasured comedians - for anyone who feels stuck in a rut but doesn't have the tools or self-belief to shake things up* In his mid-twenties, Jimmy was bored, boring, unfulfilled and underachieving. He wasn't exactly depressed, but he was very sad. Think of a baby owl whose mum has recently died in a windmill accident. He was that sad. This book tells the story of how Jimmy turned it around and got happy, through the redemptive power of dick jokes. Written to take advantage of the brief window between the end of lockdown and Jimmy getting cancelled for saying something unforgivable to Lorraine Kelly, this book is as timely as it is unnecessary. Because you might be interested in Jimmy's life but he's damn sure you're a lot more interested in your own, Before & Laughter is about both of you. But mainly him. It tells the story of Jimmy's life - the transformation from white-collar corporate drone to fake-toothed donkey-laugh plastic-haired comedy mannequin - while also explaining how to turn your own life around and become the you you've always dreamt of being. At just £20, it's cheaper than Scientology, quicker than therapy, and significantly less boring than church. Before & Laughter contains the answers to all the big questions in life, questions like: · What's the secret to happiness? · Is Jimmy wearing a wig? · What happened with that tax thing? · What's the meaning of life? · Is Jimmy's laugh real? · Can those teeth bite through vibranium? And for readers in the West Country: yes, there are pictures (actually, sorry, there are no pictures, but there's a book about a hungry caterpillar you'll love). Because it's Jimmy Carr - recently scientifically proved to be the funniest comedian in the UK - there are jokes, jokes and more jokes throughout. If laughter really was the best medicine, the NHS would be handing out this book in Nightingale Hospitals. Fascinating, thoughtful and insightful - are all words that appear in the book. |

| funny quotes about marketing: Kitty Flanagan's 488 Rules for Life Kitty Flanagan, 2019-10-01 488 Rules for Life is not a self-help book, because it's not you who needs help, it's other people. Whether they're walking and texting, asphyxiating you on public transport with their noxious perfume cloud, or leaving one useless square of toilet paper on the roll, a lot of people just don't know the rules. But thanks to Kitty Flanagan's comprehensive guide to modern behaviour, our world will soon be a much better place. A place where people don't ruin the fruit salad by putting banana in it ... where your co-workers respect your olfactory system and don't reheat their fish curry in the office microwave ... where middle aged men don't have ponytails ... What started as a joke on Kitty Flanagan's popular segment on ABC TV's The Weekly, is now a quintessential reference book with the power to change society. (Or, at least, make it a bit less irritating.) What people are (Kitty Flanagan is) saying about this book: 'You're welcome everyone.' 'Thank god for me.' 'I'd rather be sad and lonely, but right.' 'There's not actually 488 rules in here but it sure feels like it'. |

| funny quotes about marketing: There Is No B2B Or B2c Bryan Kramer, 2017-02-23 As marketers, we've been trained to speak business to business (B2B) or business to consumer (B2C). But instead of this creating a simple framework for dialogue between humans, it set forth an unnatural language for marketers, using words like synergy and speeds and feeds to tell the stories of products and services to their buyers and partners. The fact is that businesses do not have emotion. Products do not have emotion. Humans do. Humans want to feel something. And humans make mistakes. In Human to Human #H2H, Bryan explores the many facets of why and how communication today needs to be adjusted to keep up with our ever-evolving and fast moving social and digital world. Through anecdotes from his own experiences as president of a Silicon Valley marketing firm, he both inspires new ways of finding commonality in our humanity, but also practical tools to think like a human marketer again. Specifically, you'll learn: - The Four Rules of Social Context - How Human Sensory Building will make you a better Marketer - The Secrets to Making Ideas Crowd Worthy, with real world examples - How to be Delightfully Disruptive - Insights into building a Social Business - What it means to have a Focker Moment and why they should be celebrated Embedded are short intimate video conversations with some of today's most forward-thinking humans; Jonathan Becher, CMO at SAP, Charlene Li, author and co-founder of The Altimeter Group, and KareAnderson, Emmy Award-winning journalist and founder of the Say It Better Center. If you're looking to bring back the human side of communication, in all its imperfection, empathy, and simplicity, Human to Human #H2H is for you. |

| funny quotes about marketing: Marketing to Moviegoers Robert Marich, 2013-01-30 While Hollywood executives spend millions of dollars making movies, even more money is poured into selling those films to the public.

| funny quotes about marketing: Napalm & Silly Putty George Carlin, 2001-07-01 A hilarious new collection of razor-sharp observations from the New York Times bestselling author of Brain Droppings. Few comics make the transition from stage to page as smoothly or successfully as George Carlin. Brain Droppings spent a total of 40 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, and this new one is certain to tickle even more ribs (and rattle a few more cages) with its characteristically ironic take on life's annoying universal truths. In Napalm & Silly Putty, Carlin doesn't steer clear of the tough issues, preferring instead to look life boldly in the eye to pose the questions few dare to ask: How can it be a spy satellite if they announce on TV that it's a spy satellite? Why do they bother saying raw sewage? Do some people cook that stuff? In the expression topsy-turvy, what exactly is meant by turvy? And he makes some startling observations, including: Most people with low self-esteem have earned it. Guys don't seem to be called Lefty anymore. Most people don't know what they're doing, and a lot of them are really good at it. Carlin also waxes wickedly philosophical on all sorts of subjects, including: KIDS--They're not all cute. In fact, if you look at them closely, some of them are rather unpleasant looking. And a lot of them don't smell too good either. DEATH ROW--If you're condemned to die they have to give you one last meal of your own request. What is that all about? A group of people plan to kill you, so they want you to eat something you like? Add to the mix The Ten Most Embarrassing Songs of All Time, The 20th Century Hostility Scoreboard, and People I Can Do Without, and you have an irresistibly insouciant assortment of musings, questions, assertions, and assumptions guaranteed to please the millions of fans waiting for the next Carlin collection--and the millions more waiting to discover this comic genius. |

| funny quotes about marketing: STRATEGIC DIRECTIONS OF MARKETING ACTIVITIES OF AGRICULTURAL ORGANIZATIONS Bondarenko V., Lutsii О., Lutsii I., Riabchyk A., Vyshnivska B., Nahorna O., Barylovych O., Timchenko O., Golovnina O., Збарський В.К., Авраменко Р.Ф., Степанець І.П., Мастило А.Ф., Майстренко В.І., 2023-11-02 The current state of development of the domestic economy is characterized by its crisis nature caused by the influence of external and internal environment factors. In the context of the economic crisis, the degree of market uncertainty is sharply increasing, which negatively affects the activities of individual enterprises, the industry and the economy of Ukraine as a whole. These problems are particularly acute for agricultural enterprises, since they must take into account both the peculiarities of the competitive (market) environment and the specifics of the industry. That is why there is a need to analyze the theoretical and analytical foundations of marketing activities of agricultural enterprises with a view to identifying the main ways to increase the efficiency of marketing measures to improve their economic activities. In the period of formation of market relations, Ukrainian enterprises faced a number of serious problems both at the macro and micro level. Nowadays, the marketing activities of an agricultural enterprise must develop harmoniously and, in the face of instability, have a developed strategy for survival in a situation that will ensure stable functioning in the market. At present, there are many types of enterprise strategies that have historically been formed during the period of marketing formation of enterprise activities, but in order to develop an enterprise's own strategy, it is necessary to take into account a large number of factors that are dynamic in space and time, including the regulatory and methodological regulation of the process of forming a marketing strategy. The result of the study is the development of proposals for improving the regulatory framework, which directly affects the formation of the marketing strategy of agricultural enterprises. In the course of the study, the author improves the technology of forming an enterprise's marketing strategy as a set of interdependent mechanisms, tools and processes, which, unlike the existing ones, provides for achieving the strategic goals of marketing activities by an economic entity on the basis of selection and choice of alternative options for its implementation. The article proposes to consider the main factors influencing the implementation of the marketing strategy at enterprises of Khmelnytskyi region, as well as the regulatory and methodological directions for improving marketing activities at the macro and micro levels. It is also proposed to use the methodology for determining the impact of macroand micro-environment factors on the marketing activities of agricultural enterprises The implementation of strategic development of agricultural enterprises on a market basis, strengthening of competition, and integration into the global economic space give priority to the effective functioning of agricultural producers. In a market environment, the economic efficiency of agricultural market participants largely depends on the development of effective marketing strategies for agricultural enterprises, the implementation of a flexible pricing policy, the organization of optimal sales channels for agricultural products, the ability to navigate the environment and anticipate major development trends. In the market environment, demand plays a decisive role, and supply of agricultural products is organized in relation to it. Prioritizing supply involves elements of risk and uncertainty. Therefore, the formation and development of the marketing strategy of agricultural enterprises is particularly relevant. It is also worth noting that in Ukraine there are practically no scientifically based approaches to the development of the marketing strategy of agricultural enterprises, its formation and practical use in the market environment. At the beginning of a full-scale war, during a period of chaos and uncertainty, the vast majority of businesses, companies, and brands became virtually helpless, as traditional approaches to marketing lost their meaning. In the first days of the war, social media were filled with pre-war information against the backdrop of military realities, which looked rather incorrect. At that time, most companies refused to interact with customers and chose a wait-and-see strategy, but once they recovered, they began to return to work. Our society was in crisis even before the Russian invasion, and having barely overcome the powerful waves of the COVID-19 pandemic, we were gradually adapting to the new realities of life. Even before the full-scale war, Ukrainians had been learning to adapt to stressful conditions, resulting in new consumption trends (living now, even in the face of instability; not putting anything off for later; getting your life together and forcing changes in traditional habits). During any shocks, both during the COVID-19 pandemic and in wartime, it is worth remembering the need to apply a meaningful, aggressive and effective corporate marketing policy in your practice. Traditionally, marketing demand has been driven by overproduction and oversupply in a highly competitive market. However, it is necessary to understand that any fundamental change in the market environment (crisis, pandemic, war) will lead to the main problem that a business owner will face - the limitation of the solvency of market demand in the quantitative and value categories. Accordingly, on the one hand, companies will face problems with product sales, sales and profit margins, and on the other hand, aggressive behavior of competitors with a limited market size. In this case, the consumer has many options at the best price and, therefore, he has absolute power over the seller's firm. Therefore, in order to eliminate or overcome such problems, it is necessary to skillfully build marketing plans for the strategic perspective, taking into account possible risks. Today, there is a need for a thorough study of strategic marketing in wartime and the postwar period The results of the research presented in the monograph are determined within the framework of the initiative topic of the Department of Marketing and International Trade of the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine Development of Marketing at Agricultural and Processing Enterprises, state registration number 0120U100630. |
