Godin is an American author and former business executive. He has written 18 best-selling books, including “The Dip,” “Linchpin,” “Purple Cow,” “Tribes” and “What To Do When It’s Your Turn (And It’s Always Your Turn).” He is also a blogger who writes about the marketing of ideas in the digital age. He was inducted into the American Marketing Association’s Marketing Hall of Fame in 2018.
The Marketing Hall of Fame recognizes the most admired marketers for the many brilliant ways they have advanced their profession. Seth Godin, Lee Clow and Esther Lee were inducted to the 2018 Marketing Hall of Fame on May 17, 2018.
Seth Godin's Failures Have Led to his Successes
Seth Godin, head perfectly shaved and the frames of his glasses perfectly opaque, stepped up to the stage of the Marketing Hall of Fame in the R/GA building in New York City. His wife Helene had just inducted him. Godin, a thin smile fading from his face as Helene sat down, postured up to the podium.
One person who isn't depressed is Seth Godin (previously), a heterodox marketing person who was recently inducted into the Marketing Hall of Fame. For decades, Godin has advocated for permission marketing: "the privilege (not the right) of delivering anticipated, personal and relevant messages to people who actually want to get them," where "treating people with respect is the best way to earn their attention."
While we all do our best to make sense of a world in which incessant change is the norm, marketers have an extra challenge; staying ahead of the tsunami of cultural, technological, political, and environmental transformations in order to satisfy the evolving needs of the audiences they want to attract.
With this challenge in mind, I was delighted to have the opportunity to talk to this year’s three Marketing Hall of Fame New York inductees, Lee Clow, Seth Godin, and Esther Lee. Each is being celebrated for their outstanding personal contributions to advancing the marketing industry, as well as for the insight and inspiration they continue to provide to the next generation of marketers.
Ogilvy & Mather was on line 1. (I actually only have one line, but it sounds cool to imagine that they could be on line 1).
The news was unexpected. They were calling on behalf of the AMA and inviting me to be inducted into the Marketing Hall of Fame. I actually thought it would be more likely that I'd be invited to join the Roller Derby Hall of Fame.
The ceremony is on May 17th in New York.
I recently had the distinct privilege of interviewing Lee Clow, TBWAMedia Arts Lab and TBWAWorldwide Global Director of Media Arts , for an article about his induction into the Marketing Hall of Fame New York. Of course, Clow helped produce barrier-breaking work for Apple for over 30 years, including the iconic “Think different” campaign in 1997. This campaign literally changed the fortunes of the Apple brand by introducing consumers to products that were as user-friendly as they were beautiful and functional. About his time working with Apple, Clow told me, “My long relationship with Steve Jobs and Apple kept me fresh on the basis that every day there was something new to introduce to the world that made you get up and be excited. Apple is still finding ways to do so.”
The American Marketing Association’s New York chapter will induct Lee Clow, Seth Godin and Esther Lee into the Marketing Hall of Fame in a presentation on Thursday, May 17 at the offices of R/GA in New York City.
Clow is the chairman of TBWAMedia Arts Lab and director of media arts at TBWAWorldwide, Godin is a best-selling author and speaker and Lee is vice president and global chief marketing officer at MetLife, Inc. Each of the inductees will give a presentation at the event. Tickets of which are available here.
...In addition to his writing and speaking, Godin founded both Yoyodyne and Squidoo. His blog (which you can find by typing "seth" into Google) is one of the most popular in the world. In May 2018, he will be inducted into the Marketing Hall of Fame.
The American Marketing Association of New York announced yesterday that Lee Clow, Seth Godin, and Esther Lee will be inducted into its Marketing Hall of Fame.

Being inducted into any Hall of Fame is a major honor, and I warmly congratulate this year’s American Marketing Association New York honorees.

Being able to perform in an illustrious manner over the long term in any field of endeavor is incredibly challenging.

Would "positioning" be as well-known throughout the world if it had been called "the rock"?
Well, it almost was. In 1969, Al Ries and Jack Trout came up with the idea of making every ad based on a single powerful idea, and they initially called their concept "the rock."
"What do we mean by a rock? An idea that people couldn't question," Al told me.
There are many halls of fame: Rock and Roll, Baseball, Mascot. There are also many business halls of fame: the Advertising Hall of Fame, the Public Relations Hall of Fame, the Association for Accounting Marketing’s Hall of Fame. But what makes the New York AMA’s Marketing Hall of Fame unique is the fact that it evolves. In 2014 the award transitioned from recognizing outstanding brands to honoring accomplished individuals. This is a great reflection of marketing, itself: it’s constantly evolving, and more personal than ever.

It doesn’t matter where you live or where you work. It doesn’t matter where or how you get your news. It doesn’t matter where or how you shop, or on which size screen you do your binge-watching. It’s a reality and it’s evident to everyone, everywhere, in the most basic areas of our lives. The pace of change is accelerating. Products and services, brands and just-hatched companies are proliferating faster than ever. As consumers, we’re bombarded with a deluge of information, noise bites and eye bites.

This is not another post about content marketing – no one needs another 7 tips-and-tricks post about content marketing. Yes, it has to do with earning the trust, attracting the attention and serving the needs of your customers and prospects in relationship-building ways that content aims to and traditional marketing and advertising never could. But it is about something much more radical and subversive than creating a better form of messaging – it’s about attending to the content of your corporate character first and foremost, and letting that self-evident truth propel your brands. Call it Content of Character Marketing.
How would you like to learn everything you need to know about being a successful marketer in one short, entertaining session? That’s kind of what happened the other evening for those lucky enough to have been in the audience at the 2015 Marketing Hall of Fame induction ceremony. The four new inductees, all innovators in their fields, offered up four distinct views of what’s required to beat the competition in today’s marketplace. And, equally important, how they believe marketing will evolve in the future and what’s necessary to meet the challenges.
Last night I attended one the most interesting and fun marketing events of recent memory. The venue for the event was J. Walter Thomson’s corporate headquarters – the perfect location to honor successful and hard-working marketing.
The hosts for the event were Joanna Seddon and Robert Kahn. Don Sexton, President of the New York Chapter of the American Marketing Association, kicked-off the evening. That line up alone could have entertained the audience for the evening, but then the inductees were introduced and spoke about their perspectives on marketing and it couldn’t have been more interesting.
Baseball, football, rock n roll, all have their hall of fame. Now it's marketing's turn. If you are in New York on May 21st come to celebrate brilliance in marketing and learn from this year's exemplars of marketing excellence, elected by a rigorous and highly democratic process - Shelly Lazarus, Trevor Edwards, Yvon Chouinard and David Aaker https://mhof.wpengine.com/ Wisdom and cocktails...
I have had the great fortune of spending the past 15 years of my career working side by side with one of the greatest marketing and business minds of our lifetime, David Aaker. I studied, quoted, learned and even stole from Dave’s landmark work on brand in my formative days at P&G and my early days in consulting. My first book, Brand Asset Management, was a homage to Dave and I can honestly say there isn’t a finer man or thought leader who continues to remain as relevant as my friend Dave Aaker.
...By digging deep inside Patagonia’s web site, I found out that their founder, Yvon Chouinard, was just named a 2015 Inductee to the Marketing Hall of Fame. Check out the details and read lots more here. This award celebrates "brilliance in marketing," and Mr. Chouinard's in great company.

“Memo to the audience: The future of marketing is not an extrapolation of the past.” Actually, memo to anyone and everyone looking for insight on how to succeed in today’s crazy, connected, constantly moving, consumer-driven market. What’s happening now in our business is absolutely not merely a simple iteration of what was happening even five years ago. This was one of the many first-rate pieces of advice passed along to the audience at the recent induction ceremony of the New York Chapter of the American Marketing Association’s Marketing Hall of Fame.
