The GDPR might actually create an "attention economy"

By Cory Doctorow, Boing Boing
May 1, 2018

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.”

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.

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.
