The First Rule of Marketing From The Blues Brothers

The Blues Brothers was a cult hit movie from the last century. I find that inspiration for marketing can come from many different sources – and old movies and music is a great place to start. Our preferred source of entertainment is now on video sites like Youtube.

When you think about it – the fact that we go to a searchable online database rather than TV or our CD collection is one insight already.

After some aimless clicking we ended listening to the great music from the Blues Brothers – and some marketing rules were born.

Blues Brothers Marketing Rule Number One – if the audience (market) does not like the first thing you test. stop and consider just what they do want. And then test it and pay attention to the response. The market will tell you what it wants if you listen and pay attention. [link:Blue Brothers]

Now just enjoy the video, and think about your marketing and how your market is responding to your “music”.

Are you playing the tunes your market wants? What do they really want you to do for them?

The first law of marketing is about the “WHO”. Until you define your market – it is impossible to design a campaign that will reach them effectively.

And if you are going to live your life – you may as well live it LOUD. Enjoy your food, scoff your wine, and dance without regret. And if you have the privilege to be able to do some marketing – use emotion to shine in our current mono-coloured world of advertising.
