• Compensatory
– evaluates each brand in terms of each relevant attribute
and then selects the brand with the highest weighted
score.
• Noncompensatory
– positive evaluation of a brand attribute does not
compensate for a negative evaluation of the same
brand on some other attribute
– Conjunctive, disjunctive, or lexicographic

Decision Rule Mental Statement
Compensatory rule I selected the tablet that came out best when I
balanced the good ratings against the bad
ratings
Conjunctive rule I selected the tablet that had no bad features
Disjunctive rule I picked the tablet that excelled in at least one
attribute
Lexicographic rule I looked at the feature that was most important to
me and chose the tablet that ranked highest on
that attribute
Affect referral rule I bought the tablet with the highest overall rating

Why Content Marketing?
Marketing is changing – from traditional push marketing to
“Indirect Marketing”.
“Buy this, it’s great” does not work anymore.
The main reason for it is the increasing ineffectiveness of
traditional marketing.
And the reason behind that is the emergence of a New
Buyer who is: (1) savvy; (2) cynical; and (3) connected.
Psychological Reactance is also playing a big part.
What is Reactance?
Consequently, Marketers are now acting more as “Content
creators” or “Community Managers”.
“Valuable Content” is one that is trusted, read and shared. It is
information that is genuinely useful, relevant, informative and
entertaining.
Content Marketing (contd)
If you want success from Content Marketing, the principle to
follow is: “Stop Selling and Start Helping the Buyers”.
Like many good ideas, marketing with content is very simple. It
means seeing your business from your customers’ point of
view – offering answers, developing relationships, being there
when they need you, putting your own agenda aside.
Marketing the content way is a far cry from the unrewarding
drudgery of cold calling or blanket-bomb direct mail campaigns.
“Some companies are winning, even in a tough market. They
are consistently getting a stream of good leads for their
business – from their websites and from social media too. Their
networks are expanding rapidly and delivering referrals that are
easy to convert. To top it off, they say that they enjoy
marketing too!”

Presentation
What are the Best Content Creators
doing?
Marketing online using ALL available tools.
With relevant content. Their marketing and web strategy
centers on continuously creating and sharing relevant content,
not overt sales messages.
Clear message. Those that get the best results have a clear
understanding of who they do business with and what makes
their customers or clients tick. They create relevant content just
for them.
They are generous. They fully understand the old adage that if
you give you will get.
Quality is their watchword. It‟s not just any old content they
share, just to please the search engines, but genuinely useful,
well-produced, creative content that sets them apart from the
crowd.
Coca-Cola’s Move to Content
Coca-Cola has been focused on traditional media and agency- led advertising since its founding over 100 years ago.
In 2012 they announced through a series of beautifully
produced YouTube videos that they are shifting their marketing attention to sharing compelling content across social networks in order to grow their business.
Their marketing mission statement for 2012 onwards is titled: „Content 2020‟.
“To win today, Coca-Cola recognizes that it must move from creative
excellence to content excellence. All advertisers need a lot more content so that they can keep the engagement with consumers fresh and relevant, because of the 24/7 connectivity. If you‟re going to be successful around the world, you have to have fat and fertile ideas at the core.”
Jonathan Mildenhall – Coca-Cola‟s VP of Global Advertising Strategy and Creative Excellence
