Engaging, enlightening, provocative, and sensational are the words people use to describe compelling experiences and these words also describe this extraordinary book by Bernd Schmitt. Moving beyond traditional "features-and-benefits" marketing, Schmitt presents a revolutionary approach to marketing for the branding and information age. Schmitt shows how managers can create holistic experiences for their customers through brands that provide sensory, affective, and creative associations as well as lifestyle marketing and social identity campaigns. In this masterful handbook of tools and techniques, Schmitt presents a battery of business cases to show how cutting-edge companies use "experience providers" such as visual identity, communication, product presence, Web sites, and service to create different types of customer experiences. To illustrate the essential concepts and frameworks of experiential marketing, Schmitt provides: SENSE cases on Nokia mobile phones, Hennessy cognac, and Procter & Gamble's Tide Mountain Fresh detergent; FEEL cases on Hallmark, Campbell's Soup, and Häagen Dazs Cafés in Asia, Europe, and the United States; THINK cases on Apple Computer's revival, Genesis ElderCare, and Siemens; ACT cases on Gillette's Mach3, the Milk Mustache campaign, and Martha Stewart Living; RELATE cases on Harley-Davidson, Tommy Hilfiger, and Wonderbra. Using the New Beetle and Sony as examples, Schmitt discusses the strategic and implementation intricacies of creating holistic experiences for customers. In an intriguing final chapter, he presents turn-around techniques such as "Objective: To Dream," "Send in the Iconoclasts," and "Quit the Bull," to show how traditional marketing firms can transform themselves into experience-oriented organizations. This book will forever change your perception of customers, marketing, and brands -- from Amtrak and Singapore Airlines to Herbal Essences products and Gwyneth Paltrow.

Ehemals als hoffnungsvoller Kommunikationskanal angepriesen, hat sich das Internet dank einer rasanten Entwicklung innerhalb weniger Jahre lngst als zentrale Infrastruktur diverser Informations- und Unterhaltsmedien etabliert. Infolge dieser Popularittszunahme darf der Einfluss computervermittelter Kommunikation keineswegs als Erfolgsfaktor unternehmerischer Absatzpolitik unterschtzt werden - denn zweifelsohne gewinnt das Internet (nach wie vor) an Bedeutung fr das globale Wirtschaftsleben, so auch als strategisches Element zur Markenfhrung. Der Bereich des 'Internet-Branding' stellt die konzerneigene Markenpolitik gegenwrtig jedoch vor neue Herausforderungen: Online-Markenfhrung kann nmlich keineswegs schlicht als Erweiterung des Marketing-Instrumentariums durch das Internet angesehen werden. Vielmehr mssen die klassischen Lehren der Offline-Kommunikation mit den neuen technologischen Mglichkeiten verbunden und somit bestimmte Grundregeln der Online-Markenfhrung erfllt werden. Es gilt also zu verstehen, inwieweit die konventionellen Regeln der klassischen Markenfhrung fr Marken aus der realen Welt im Internet gelten und bis zu welchem Grad sie sich unter dem Einfluss des neuen Mediums wandeln mssen, um auch in Zukunft erfolgreich agieren zu knnen - vor allem in Bezug auf das wohl bedeutendste aller Online-Kommunikationsmittel: der Unternehmens-Website.

This e-book forms the second part of two special issues guest edited by TC Melewar and Joseann Small. The editors have attempted to carve out a domain for international branding as a separate area of study in international marketing. The editorial objectives this e-book are much the same as the first in that an attempt has been made to lift international branding out of out the shadow of international marketing and out of a pattern of largely replication studies centered on the standardization/localization debate. The articles that comprise the issue seek a more comprehensive understanding of the dimensions of international branding and of its related paradigms. In doing so, the guest editors hope the collected papers have pushed the extant knowledge and understanding of international branding, and will guide future research endeavors.
