Lecture Title: Applying Emerging Markets' Practices to Traditional Global Economies

 

Scope:             Evolution of Western marketing theory took over 100 years. BRIC countries (China, Russia, Brazil and India) have traveled the same path much faster. Initially, Western marketing strategies have been applied “blindly”, much like the magic wand. There was no opportunity to digest 100-year theoretical mix or integrate it into national entrepreneurship culture. After many failures, the last decade brought a new wave of marketing ideas coming mostly from the emerging markets offering fresh perspective on the “stale” marketing science. Isn’t it time to fill the old form with the new meaning? – Let’s see if the traditional economies that have created marketing theories can learn something from the ways emerging economies applied them!

 

Duration: 1 to 3 hours

 

Lecture Title: Marketing of Authenticity

 

Scope:            Global recession has posed a challenge to traditional marketing thinking. The consumers think differently, act differently and, certainly, buy differently. Old marketing ways are not working as efficiently or, sometimes, at all. Traditional research, run-of-the-mill strategies and even most creative advertising are simply not delivering the results companies expect. The lecture will highlight changes in the consumer’s mind and propose the effective new marketing instruments to better understand and communicate to clients.  The set of new marketing approaches can be generally called “Marketing of Authenticity”, as they all deal with presenting the marketing information in a “real” or “authentic” way.

 

Duration: 1 to 3 hours

 

 

Lecture Title: Marketing to Minorities

 

Scope:            Be that Russians living in the Baltic States, Hispanics in the US or Turks in Germany, minorities now constitute a rising and sizable population of consumers. Often, traditional communications targeting majority of population are simply not working for these groups with different culture, value structure and consumer behavior. Many companies realize these days that they simply cannot afford to let their communications fall through cracks for these audiences. The lecture offers keys to understanding the process of marketing to minorities.

 

Duration: 1-1,5 hours
