Overview of the new book by Joe Pulizzi and Robert Rose (Killing Marketing), explaining why the current marketing structure needs to be replaced with a new one...marketing as a profit center. This presentation details the why, includes case studies from Arrow Electronics, Buzzfeed and Red Bull, and reviews how you can generate revenue from your marketing in 10 different ways.
3. Enterprises of all sizes still spend
most of their marketing dollars on
advertising – basically interrupting
people while they are consuming the
content they truly want.
3
4. This is absurd.
If this were the 70s or 80s,
this strategy might
actually work.

5. Before 1990, there were only
eight ways consumers could get
information (big ad budgets and
media companies dominated).

6. Today, there are thousands of ways
consumers can get information.

7. This means consumers can…
and will…ignore you…
unless you provide some kind
of consistent value over time.

8. If this is true, the future
business model for both
media companies AND
product companies is
EXACTLY the same.
8
9. All companies will look to build proprietary
audiences, and then monetize those audiences
by selling a variety of products,
services and media.
9
10. Today, these models are simple.
Product companies build audiences to sell more
products & services (called content marketing).
Media companies build audiences to sell
subscriptions and advertising.
10
11. But this is a limited view.
Once we build a loyal audience, we can
monetize the audience in multiple,
and, sometimes unexpected ways.
11
12. What if we thought differently
about how we generate revenue
through marketing?

13. In 1976, Fox executives thought
Star Wars was going to flop. Instead of
paying George Lucas more money, they
agreed to give him the full licensing
rights to the movie.
The Fox executives thought
they saved a bundle.
13
14. From 1977 to 2015, the Star Wars franchise made just
over $5 billion on ticket sales. Merchandising sales were
over $12 billion…all going to George Lucas.
What if we thought like this about our marketing?
Maybe we can do more with marketing than just sell
what we always sell.
14
15. If we build a loyal
audience, there are
actually 10 different
ways to generate
revenue.
15
17. Arrow Electronics is
the Amazon.com of
selling electronics
equipment. In 2016,
they generated over
$24 billion in revenue
and were #119 on the
Fortune 500 list.
17
18. Over the past two years,
they’ve become the largest
media company in the
electronics industry.
Arrow reaches 76% of
all electronic engineers
through 51 different media
properties. And they do so
at a profit!
18
19. The largest media
company in extreme
sports is not a media
company. It’s owned
by Red Bull. And they
also do this at a profit.
19
20. And what about media
companies?
Buzzfeed’s Tasty brand
sold over 100,000
custom print cook
books last year.
20
21. And they just launched a
smart cooker that links to
your phone.
Buzzfeed knows its future is
not in selling only advertising,
but in selling multiple products
their audiences wants to buy.
21
22. And both Pepsi and Mondelez recently announced launching
marketing divisions that will drive its own revenue and profit.
22
23. This is the future model for IBM, for
Cisco Systems, for Coca-Cola, and for
even the smallest of small companies.
23
24. We need to forget about the marketing
we’ve learned. Today, there is a new model.
“It ain’t what we know that gets us into
trouble. It’s what you know for sure that
just ain’t so.” – Mark Twain
24
25. Our job as marketers is to make markets.
Today that means building loyal and
trusting audiences…and then monetize
those audiences in multiple ways.
25
26. But to do this…you need to kill the
marketing you are currently executing…
and replace it with a new model.
This will take time…but you need to start
now on the transformation.
