Marketing in ActionAs I'm sure you can work out for yourself, marketing is going on all around us. Some of it good, some of it bad - a lot of it downright ugly. Every so often, Simon Brandon will write articles here discussing something newsworthy or being advertised that relates to marketing theory. More often than not, it will just seem like a bit of a rant, but he does try to have method to the madness. We hope that you enjoy the articles and that they are entertaining and educational. Any comments are gladly received. Remember though - it's all just a bit of fun and not worth getting too worked up about (i.e. if we accidentally libel someone, please don't sue us!)

Tesco must be considered the corporate success of the last 20 years. They have moved from cheap back-street outfit to the undisputed heavyweight champion of the retailing world. Their buying power matches even that of Walmart, yet their service offering beats their rivals hands down. How have they done this – through the mystic power of marketing.

I do a lot of moaning about adverts that I don't like. I guess it is easier to destroy than to create, so perhaps it is about time I congratulated someone. My choice is a company who have had great adverts for as long as I can remember –Volkswagen. Comments (1) | Quote this article on your site |

I have no issue with Americans using different words for things than us. I do not even get riled when they spell "colour" without a "u" or "through" without ...well... most of the letters. I do, however, mind when advertisers start to use American English for no apparent reason in British adverts. Be first to comment this article | Quote this article on your site |

Something has been bugging me for the past year, but I'm not entirely sure why. Perhaps it is time that I either let it go or examined the reasons for my irritation. I speak of that alcoholic phenomenon of 2006 – Magners “On Ice.” Comments (2) | Quote this article on your site |
