Marketing strategists Ries and Ries spend all 320 pages of their latest book arguing one point: skillful public relations is what sells, not advertising. Case in point: the failure of Pets.com's sock puppet ads. However, in a chapter devoted to dot-com advertising excesses, the authors never mention that many dot-coms had miserable business plans and neophyte management. (The Rieses may be counting on the sock puppet to sell another commodity, as a deflated sock puppet dominates the book's jacket.) Today, most small companies aren't bloated with venture capital to buy TV ads, yet the book has little practical advice on how these companies' executives should use public relations, particularly PR's most important role: crisis control. Some readers might resent paying $24.95 for what amounts to an advertisement for pricey PR consulting firms like Ries & Ries. The authors frequently poke fun at the most outrageous TV ads of recent years, paralleling Sergio Zyman's The End of Advertising As We Know It (reviewed above), a more thoughtful critique of current advertising trends. The inherent flaw in the Rieses' logic: time and again they cite ad campaigns for new products that are "off message" and then say how much sales declined; this supports the notion that products and services are sold by good advertising. Although their book is occasionally entertaining, the argument is simplistic and self-serving. Illus.

Publicity first, advertising second: This is the provocative message that marketing gurus Al and Laura Ries deliver with THE FALL OF ADVERTISING. The bestselling authors of THE 22 IMMUTABLE LAWS OF BRANDING are back, this time revealing a startling and crucial development in marketing, the shift from advertising-oriented marketing to PR-oriented marketing. Today's brands are born with publicity, not advertising. A closer look at the history of many major brands shows this to be true. In fact an astonishing number of brands, including the Body Shop, Starbucks, Wal-Mart, Beanie Babies, Oracle and Yahool, have been built with virtually no advertising. With case histories and a step-by-step plan for creating buzz in the PR era, THE FALL OF ADVERTISING shows readers how to: *Give up the cherished big-bang approach in favour of a slow build-up *Create a category *Use PR to communicate a brand's credentials *Select the perfect spokesperson *Roll out a programme *Develop a healthy relationship with the media Bold and accessible, THE FALL OF ADVERTISING tells how and why publicity will assume the major role in product launches, with advertising solidifying brands rather than creating them. This will be the essential primer on brand-building in the public relations era.
个人觉得,此书对一个广告学生(暂未从业)有两点比较具有冲击力: 1~公关应该是第一位,因为它创造品牌。广告则是第二位,功能是维护品牌。 2~广告不应强调创意,那样只能让人记住广告,对产品销售利益不大。公关则应强调创意,那样才有媒体愿意报道。 ...
评分入门书,畅销书往往只说1个观点+n个事实。当然事实跟数据一样重要。此书也算巨大的软文了,好给PR长脸阿,PR应该好好YY下广告落寞的时代哈,只是YY。因为在我看来广告只不过从狭义变到了广义。 简摘: 1.广告是风,爆炸式的,公关是太阳,缓慢式的。 2.公关是线性的,侧重讲...
评分在看这本书以前,我基本上将公关=危机。也就是说。PR只有在危机产生的时候才需要用到。品牌的建立应该是依靠广告。可这本东西不断告诉我,我错了。 说到这个我总是忍不住想起这图,因为实在是太经典了。 http://ww2.sinaimg.cn/large/55696d09jw1e3jd76f5jaj.jpg 这本书一直...
评分因为一位朋友最近一直在强调公关怎么个有发展,所以近期对公关很感兴趣。本身又是广告出身,所以想一探究竟。 看完里斯的这本书,只有一个感觉,公关和广告就是营销这位大哥的两个老婆,如同一个男人的两个女人一样。想起了张爱玲的红玫瑰与白玫瑰。公关就是那个忍...
