Marketing strategists Ries and Ries spend all 320 pages of their latest book arguing one point: skillful public relations is what sells, not advertising. Case in point: the failure of Pets.com's sock puppet ads. However, in a chapter devoted to dot-com advertising excesses, the authors never mention that many dot-coms had miserable business plans and neophyte management. (The Rieses may be counting on the sock puppet to sell another commodity, as a deflated sock puppet dominates the book's jacket.) Today, most small companies aren't bloated with venture capital to buy TV ads, yet the book has little practical advice on how these companies' executives should use public relations, particularly PR's most important role: crisis control. Some readers might resent paying $24.95 for what amounts to an advertisement for pricey PR consulting firms like Ries & Ries. The authors frequently poke fun at the most outrageous TV ads of recent years, paralleling Sergio Zyman's The End of Advertising As We Know It (reviewed above), a more thoughtful critique of current advertising trends. The inherent flaw in the Rieses' logic: time and again they cite ad campaigns for new products that are "off message" and then say how much sales declined; this supports the notion that products and services are sold by good advertising. Although their book is occasionally entertaining, the argument is simplistic and self-serving. Illus.

Publicity first, advertising second: This is the provocative message that marketing gurus Al and Laura Ries deliver with THE FALL OF ADVERTISING. The bestselling authors of THE 22 IMMUTABLE LAWS OF BRANDING are back, this time revealing a startling and crucial development in marketing, the shift from advertising-oriented marketing to PR-oriented marketing. Today's brands are born with publicity, not advertising. A closer look at the history of many major brands shows this to be true. In fact an astonishing number of brands, including the Body Shop, Starbucks, Wal-Mart, Beanie Babies, Oracle and Yahool, have been built with virtually no advertising. With case histories and a step-by-step plan for creating buzz in the PR era, THE FALL OF ADVERTISING shows readers how to: *Give up the cherished big-bang approach in favour of a slow build-up *Create a category *Use PR to communicate a brand's credentials *Select the perfect spokesperson *Roll out a programme *Develop a healthy relationship with the media Bold and accessible, THE FALL OF ADVERTISING tells how and why publicity will assume the major role in product launches, with advertising solidifying brands rather than creating them. This will be the essential primer on brand-building in the public relations era.
入门书,畅销书往往只说1个观点+n个事实。当然事实跟数据一样重要。此书也算巨大的软文了,好给PR长脸阿,PR应该好好YY下广告落寞的时代哈,只是YY。因为在我看来广告只不过从狭义变到了广义。 简摘: 1.广告是风,爆炸式的,公关是太阳,缓慢式的。 2.公关是线性的,侧重讲...
评分在风与太阳的寓言故事中,将广告比作猛烈的风、公关比作温暖的太阳,似乎作者的观点确实有些道理——广告虽然猛烈,但用错了地方;公关温柔,却有效。这本将近300余页的书中列举了大量美国本土的案例,来说明作者“公关在崛起,广告在没落”的观点。具体来看,全书被划...

评分广告,对于大多数行业来说,在后工业化的产品“剩余”时代,已经难以起到其在上世纪上半叶那样能够快速瞬间提升产品销量的作用了。 所以在阿尔·里斯和特劳特在6、70年代的美国观察到这个现象,并提出“定位”概念建议企业用公关替代广告作为建立品牌的主要手段...

评分有点矫枉过正。个别观点可取。
