Advertising agencies are caught between fee-cutting clients and profit-hungry owners. In the meantime, their creative workloads are growing, driven by increased TV, digital and social advertising. How do agencies generate profit margins under these circumstances? Through downsizing, salary freezes and 'juniorizing.' Agencies are disinvesting in capabilities at a time when their clients' marketing challenges have never been greater. No wonder their clients are beefing up their internal capabilities and changing agencies at an accelerated rate! This is Madison Avenue Manslaughter, documented in detail by Michael Farmer, who has been working in the industry for the past 25 years. Farmer, who was formerly a Director of Bain & Company, provides a gripping analysis of advertising agencies and their deteriorating situation. He describes the key trends that have weakened agencies during recent years -- the shift from commissions to fees, brand globalization, the rise of holding companies, client obsession with shareholder value, the digital and Internet revolutions -- and outlines the steps that senior agency executives need to take to restore health to their organizations and improved results to their clients. This book is a first of its kind -- a detailed examination of ad agencies as businesses: their cultures, organizations, management philosophies and strategic choices -- providing an unforgettable inside look at the Mad Men's declining world.Winner of the Gold Medal for Marketing books, 2016 Axiom Awards

Working too hard for too little money Have you ever felt.... there is downward pressure on price... your customers keep complaining over price; your competitors keep lowering their price; your margins are constantly being squeezed; customers aren’t paying you on time and you’re often short of cash; you’re working too hard and too many hours, and ultimately you’re not making enough money? If so, you’re not alone. The most common underlying reason for these problems is the wrong way of pricing. Unfortunately, most businesses use emotional pricing, which comes from a lack of understanding of pricing strategy; reacting to gut feel and emotion rather than the facts. Rather than from a proper understanding of the numbers. Without understanding the numbers, pricing strategy and price psychology, most small businesses end up competing on price with no real differentiation in the market. This book walks you through the drivers of profit of your business and reveals why price is the most powerful of them all. You will discover the two primary pricing strategies and why one of them is usually doomed to fail. You will learn the dangers of reducing price, offering discounts and promotions, and how to do it the right way. You will also learn how you can increase your prices without losing customers. You’ll have strategies for dealing with lower-priced competitors, how to handle price objections plus powerful pricing tactics for getting much higher prices.

Suggests new techniques for evaluating stocks and predicting future profit margins and includes case histories

When it comes to revenue growth, today’s marketplace can challenge financial advisors in ways that didn’t exist all that long ago. Regulatory changes, diminishing profit margins, evolving technologies and shifting client expectations are some of these new pressures. Add the ease with which one can now switch advisors and acquire products and information online, and one comes to the following conclusion: the only unique competitive advantage is the exceptional experience an advisor can create for his or her clients. Very successful advisors (VSAs) know this. They understand that clients are looking for a consistent, memorable and meaningful experience, one that makes the client feel listened to and cared for. They know they must be fully aligned with their clients when it comes to respect, trust and shared purpose. It’s a tall order but a vastly rewarding one, and it’s absolutely achievable with determination, discipline and method. In Serious Shift: How Experience Staging Can Save Your Practice, Dennis Moseley-Williams examines the attributes and behaviors of VSAs, showing that the transition begins with changing – or shifting – one’s attitudes and expectations in order to live a life less ordinary. He addresses the obstacle of resistance to change and ways to overcome it. Step-by-step, he describes the processes that can transform one’s practice into an experience-driven enterprise built on trust and advocacy. Trust, transparency, engagement – these are not simply buzzwords of a new order. They represent the raison d’être of being in business, of forging strong relationships while reaping the results of one’s labors.

A narrative history of the influential businessmen who fought to roll back the New Deal.Starting in the mid-1930s, a handful of prominent American businessmen forged alliances with the aim of rescuing America--and their profit margins--from socialism and the "nanny state." Long before the "culture wars" usually associated with the rise of conservative politics, these driven individuals funded think tanks, fought labor unions, and formed organizations to market their views. These nearly unknown, larger-than-life, and sometimes eccentric personalities--such as GE's zealous, silver-tongued Lemuel Ricketts Boulware and the self-described "revolutionary" Jasper Crane of DuPont--make for a fascinating, behind-the-scenes view of American history.The winner of a prestigious academic award for her original research on this book, Kim Phillips-Fein is already being heralded as an important new young American historian. Her meticulous research and narrative gifts reveal the dramatic story of a pragmatic, step-by-step, check-by-check campaign to promote an ideological revolution--one that ultimately helped propel conservative ideas to electoral triumph. 16 Photographs
