10 things I’ve learned as 26 year old
John GriffithsPlanning Above and Beyond
Bill Gates in 1983
Measurement camp Dec 9th 2009
1. Quant researcher
Sample – don’t just pick up whatever you find only scavengers do that
Decide if you are a hunter or a cultivator – they work differently and it takes different skills to do it well
2. Qual researcher
Human beings leak – they can’t NOT tell you what they think and feel
They also don’t say what they mean or mean what they say
3. Advertising planner
Land grab – Ad agenciesclaim the credit for ALLbrand effects – even if advertising only accounts for some
Grab your own slice of the cake: own share of buzz
4. Direct Marketing Planner
You can measure anything – if you try hard enough(and you can’t if you think its too difficult)
Paint with numbers like an impressionist not a fundamentalist
Don’t let the finance peoplebamboozle you with precision
5. Sales Promotion Planner
Love behaviour – its habit forming Memory is embodied
(people don’t remember this) Imitation rules!
6. Integrated comms planner Measure the added value of the customer’s
experience – not whether the creative idea has been executed in an integrated way..
The easier it is to get hold of a measure – the more useless it usually is –
7. Network/Channel Planner
2 degrees of separation. More useful than any of the other 5
Lumpiness is much more interesting than homogeneous mass audiences
8. Digital Planner Everyone who
links and posts online is by definition not average
So aim off the outliers..
9. Content planner
There’s really no excuse for making everything yourself – content has its own gravitational weight for attracting audiences – so use gravity to locate them
10. Lay Minister What is really going on is more interesting
than what is supposed to be going on. Follow the Spirit!
The health of an community is measured by the size of the fringe - Measure that
Spend less time in church – you WILL become the establishment
Happy Measuring!
