Azi am primit cel mai frumos cadou de 1 iunie: acces la trainingul certificat în Marketing 3.0 cu profesorul Philip Kotler!
Am fost plăcut suprinsă când mi-am văzut profesorii din ASE în holul Ateneului. (Kotler a zis că e probabil cel mai frumos loc în care a ţinut vreodată o prezentare!) Mai mult decât atât, profa Carmen Bălan (cu care am studiat Logistică în facultate şi Managementul canalelor de marketing semestrul trecut la master) a fost cea care l-a introdus pe Kotler. Wow.
Per total mi-a plăcut foarte mult felul în care îşi construieşte părintele marketingului discursul, e cu siguranţă un bun orator. În plus, prezentarea sa a fost foarte bine pregătită şi structurată. Iar când mă gândesc că omul acesta are 81 de ani şi după ce a scris nici mai mult, nici mai puţin de 48 de cărţi, urcă în continuare pe scenă şi îi inspiră pe oameni cu conceptele sale de inovaţie, mă fac mică şi mă aşez mai bine în banca mea…
Prezentarea a fost una destul de teoretică şi axată pe strategie, un abecedar pentru marketeri şi CEOs, dar presărată cu multe exemple despre companii (americane, cum ne-am obişinuit deja să întâlnim în cărţile de marketing). Cred că pentru publicul din sală mesajul a fost perfect livrat, ţinând locul unei mobilizări generale pentru oamenii de marketing care iau decizii: să gândească pe termen lung şi să pună accentul pe valori. Eu personal am simţit totul ca o încununare a celor 5 ani în care am studiat marketing.
Şi-acum, redau aici o parte dintre conceptele amintite azi + o listă de lecturi recomandate.
Social mrk – the use of mrk to market a cause
Usually a company has a lot of sales persons and a few marketers whose jobs are to make sales easier for the selling people.

MRK started because Sales departments needed others to:
