Was? Sie gehören nicht zu den Literaten, die sich wochenlang einsperren, um endlich ihr Meisterstück fertigzustellen? Sie sind lieber draußen beim Kunden, sitzen in Meetings und telefonieren sich die Ohrmuscheln heiß? Aber vielleicht ist gerade jetzt die richtige Zeit, um mal eine kreative Pause einzulegen, Meetings Meetings und Kunden Kunden sein zu lassen und etwas Bleibendes zu schaffen: Ein Buch. Vielleicht ein wenig old-school und off-line, aber durchaus effektiv für's Neugeschäft.

5 Gründe warum Sie als Agentur-Chef (oder -Chefin) ernsthaft überlegen sollten ein Buch zu schreiben:

  1. Weil Sie etwas zu sagen haben.
  2. Weil Sie damit Ihre Glaubwürdigkeit steigern.
  3. Weil Sie Ihre Bekanntheit bei potenziellen Auftraggebern steigern.
  4. Weil die meisten Ihrer Wettbewerber kein Buch haben.
  5. Weil Sie den Content doch eigentlich schon haben.

Ein lesenswertes Marketingfachbuch kann eine wertvolle Quelle für mehr Bekanntheit, mediale Aufmerksamkeit und Neugeschäft sein. Ein effektives Eigenmarketing-Tool, das neue Auftraggeber erreicht, Interesse an Ihrer Agentur weckt, Kompetenz vermittelt, Vertrauen aufbaut und, wenn Si es wie Ex-Werber Frank Schätzing machen, Ihnen einen ehrenhaften und feudalen Ausstieg aus der Branche ermöglicht.

Sie brauchen etwas Inspiration, um Ihre Schreibblockade zu überwinden? Hier weiter unten eine Auswahl teilweise großartiger Bücher Ihrer mehr oder weniger berühmten Agenturkollegen.

Die folgende Liste erhebt keinen Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit. Die Buchbeschreibungen stammen weitgehend von Amazon. Wenn Sie auf einen Buchdeckel klicken, sollten Sie direkt zu dem Buch auf die Amazon Seite weiter geleitet werden. Falls Ihnen das Buch eines Werbers in der Liste fehlt, bitte unbedingt einen Kommentar am Ende dieses Posts hinterlassen.

Über 30 Jahre ist es her, daß David Ogilvys »Geständnisse eines Werbemannes« zum ersten Mal veröffentlicht und zum Verkaufsschlager wurden.

Spannend, rasant, informativ und immer wieder voller Esprit gibt der »Grand Old Man« der Werbung unterhaltsame Lektionen und witzige Bonmots für Kreative und Klientel zum Besten. David Ogilvys einfache aber um so schlagkräftigere Grundsätze gehören bis heute zur Pflichtlektüre für jeden, der es in der Werbebranche zu etwas bringen will. In der sich rasch wandelnden Werbewelt profitieren sowohl Einsteiger als auch Profis von den bis heute gültigen Prinzipien und richtungsweisenden Ideen eines der wichtigsten Werber unserer Zeit.

 


Paul Arden: Egal, was du denkst, denk das Gegenteil.

Abbildung: amazon

Von der ersten bis zur letzten Seite Spaß und Nutzwert für Querdenker und solche, die es werden wollen. Die Kurzbeiträge, Themen, Überschriften, Statements, Ideen, und Aufforderungen sitzen. Alle! Und viele der Gedanken bringe ich nicht mehr aus dem Kopf. Seine geniale "Bildersprache" und seine gut gewählten Metaphern verhindern dies. Das ist Lesegenuss mit Denkzwang. Kürzer lassen sich die Themen nicht mehr fassen. Das ist Klasse statt Masse. Zu Ende Gedachtes beansprucht wenig Worte.

"Überraschen Sie mich!" heißt die Aufforderung in einem der letzten "Kapitel" seines Buches. Und genau das ist Paul Arden, dem ehemaligen Creative Director von Saatchi and Saatchi gelungen. (Axel Haitzer - quergeist.com)

Abbildung: amazon

Kribbeln im Kopf hat die Szene im Sturm erobert, hat auf Kopf und Bauch der Kreativen gezielt und ins Herz getroffen.  Die Presse feierte das Buch mit Kreativitätstechniken und Brain-Tools für Werbung und Design, und Mario Pricken bewies die Power seiner Tools in unzähligen Seminaren. Die Idee, die Kreativtechniken hinter den weltweit besten Arbeiten aus Werbung und Grafikdesign zu extrahieren, ist ja auch genial!

Mario Pricken arbeitet seit siebzehn Jahren in den Creative Industries und hat seit 2001 vier Bücher zum Thema Kreativität und Innovation sowie das Arbeitswerkzeug "Creative Sessions Box" publiziert. Er inspiriert seit mehr als zwölf Jahren als Innovation Director und Consultant Marketingabteilungen internationaler Unternehmen, namhafte Agenturen, Designfirmen und Fernsehstationen. Kaum jemand kennt so viele Kreativunternehmen von innen wie er.


Momentum - Die Kraft, die Werbung heute braucht.

Abbildung: amazon

Holger Jung und Jean-Remy von Matt. Die zwei vermutlich kreativsten Köpfe der deutschen Werbung gewähren Einblick in ihre Methoden und Geheimnisse. Ihre Agentur JUNG von MATT gilt als die innovativste der deutschen Werbebranche. Sie haben jeden Preis eingeheimst, der für erfolgreiche Werbung zu vergeben ist, und das gleich mehrfach. In ihrem Marketing-Bestseller MOMENTUM erläutern Holger Jung und Jean-Remy von Matt ihr Credo: Für Kommunikation gibt es Regeln. Für gute Kommunikation die Ausnahmen. Die beiden Werbepäpste liefern Erkenntnisse, Anekdoten und Fallbeispiele. Sie reflektieren die Wirkweise von Werbung, analysieren, mit welcher Strategie der gestresste und zugleich verwöhnte Konsument heute zu packen ist. Denn nie hatten Verbraucher so viele Möglichkeiten, Werbung aus dem Weg zu gehen in einer Welt, in der die Digitalisierung von Medien und Alltag viele bewährte Werberegeln außer Kraft gesetzt hat. Doch auch das Gegenteil stimmt: Noch nie gab es so viele Möglichkeiten, mit Werbung zu begeistern. Nur wer sein persönliches Das-kann-doch-nicht-wahr-sein-Depot ausschöpft, kann begeistern. Dabei muss Werbung eine neue Kraft entwickeln, die das permanente Grundrauschen der Marketingkommunikation durchbricht. Aus der Schule geplaudert für alle, die viel Zeit mit Werbung verbringen. Und für alle, die viel Geld in Werbung investieren.

How to Write an Inspired Creative Brief.

An excellent read. An even better blueprint. Howard Ibach has captured in less than fifty pages what some ad people don't learn in a lifetime.

Being a working Creative Director myself, I found this book to be both insightful and instructional. Not only has Howard captured the essence and strong points that go into writing a competent and useful briefing document, but also the pratfalls. Peppered with annecdotes and sage quotes from great admen, this book inspires you to strive for a better quality of work. Not to just knock out a necessary evil but to actually pause and take the time to craft a document that will not only empower the agency to do better work but raise the level of communication that the client has with their audience.

What's nice about its appoach is that it schools not only account people, who thoeretically "create" the briefs, but creatives to help in the process as well. Following its advice, you can expect much better communication between the "creatives" and the "suits" and within the agaency as a whole.

In short, this is a must read for anyone who is commited to excelling in advertising--and removing one of the biggest internal headaches you will encounter in your career. -Jerbone

Juicing the Orange: How to Turn Creativity Into a Powerful Business Advantage.

Abbildung: amazon

Too many companies think creativity means throwing money into marketing efforts and giving lip service to "out of the box" thinking. But such efforts rarely have a positive impact on the bottom line. Pat Fallon and Fred Senn argue that leaders have more creativity within their organizations than they realize--but they inadvertently stifle it or channel it in ineffective ways. Juicing the Orange outlines a disciplined approach to building creativity actively into the organizational culture and leveraging that creativity into campaigns that deliver measurable results. Drawing from 25 years of successful marketing and acclaimed, award-winning work, the authors show that bankable, creative ideas come from zeroing in on the one key business problem that must be solved and then rigorously unearthing insights that will lead to a spectacular solution. Behind-the-scenes stories of successful and failed campaigns for companies in diverse industries reveal the core secrets of training for creativity: develop a proprietary brand emotion, offer big ideas without a big budget, and get customers to seek out your message. Illustrating the link between creativity and profits, Juicing the Orange helps industry players measure their success at the cash register.


Lovemarks: The Future Beyond Brands.

Abbildung: amazon

"Ideas move mountains, especially in turbulent times. Lovemarks is the product of the fertile-iconoclast mind of Kevin Roberts, CEO Worldwide of Saatchi & Saatchi. Roberts argues vociferously, and with a ton of data to support him, that traditional branding practices have become stultified. What’s needed are customer Love affairs. Roberts lays out his grand scheme for mystery, magic, sensuality, and the like in his gloriously designed book Lovemarks.”
—Tom Peters

Sellout "Brand" or just plain "Bland"? In Lovemarks, advertising giant Saatchi & Saatchi CEO Kevin Roberts delves deep into what mysteries lie behind the long-term success and unwavering customer loyalty for a can of Coke or a pair of Levi's, ultimately concluding that Love is the answer, and without some emotional connection to a product, it will dry up like a generic raisin in the sun. Enter Lovemarks, the new marketing buzzword, which will likely be bandied about at board meetings as vigorously as The Tipping Point.

But before Roberts can get to what in fact a Lovemark means in the worlds of advertising and marketing, he takes us on a virtual tour of his CV. There was his first post at Mary Quant in London, then the gig as New Products Manager of Gillette International in the Middle East, on to CEO of Pepsi in Canada, and later the same role at Lion Nathan in New Zealand. The list goes on, and so does Roberts--on and on--about his achievements and experience building brand awareness and shaking things up (he famously machine-gunned a vending machine at a presentation for a spot on the evening news). More importantly, he succeeds at blasting away the smoke and mirrors that might prevent a creative genius (or an ordinary consumer) from seeing what makes Superman the most beloved super-hero of all time.


Disruption: Overturning Conventions and Shaking Up the Marketplace .

Abbildung: amazon

Disruption: Overturning Conventions and Shaking Up the Marketplace is veteran advertising industry executive Jean-Marie Dru's iconoclastic proposal for replacing business-as-usual advertising and marketing philosophies with radical new thinking. He contends that this shift in thought will better position new and established products, brands, and services for the competitive battles to come. Dozens of laudable examples--from Oil of Olay and FedEx to TAG Heuer and Saturn--are fully examined, and suggestions for successfully employing their techniques are offered.

The most fascinating aspect of Jean-Marie Dru's book is that it gives you a new way of looking at things... Of finding solutions to problems... Be it in advertising or in any other profession. In 'Disruption', Dru sets up a premise for questioning conventional patterns and methods in order to move forward and beyond. To create path-breaking solutions in terms of strategies and communication. And, in support of his ideas, Dru provides examples from the world of advertising, where the forces of 'disruption' have indeed created memorable brands all around the world. Some, even before the publication of this book. Although the core idea in 'Disruption' originates in advertising, it actually transcends any trade or profession and influences the very essence of life itself. As Dru puts it succinctly in the preface of his book, 'Disruption is at once a method, a way of thinking, a state of mind.' This book is sure to change the way you look at advertising, and your life. -Biswajit Dey


The Power of Small: Why Little Things Make All the Difference.

Abbildung: amazon

The authors of the national bestseller THE POWER OF NICE once again tackle conventional wisdom with a provocative and counterintuitive book about the importance of sweating the small stuff in our lives and in our careers.

Our smallest actions and gestures often have outsized impact on our biggest goals, say Linda Kaplan Thaler and Robin Koval. Did you double-check that presentation one last time, or hold the elevator for a stranger? Going that extra inch – whether with a client, customer, family member, or friend – speaks volumes to others about our talent, personality, and motivations. After all, if we can’t take care of the small details, how can we be counted on to deliver when it really matters?

In today’s challenging times, bigger isn’t always better. In fact, it’s often the baby steps that put us on the path to delivering a true competitive advantage. The real secret to getting ahead in life and in our careers is to refocus our attention on the small details that, if disregarded, can sabotage a multimillion-dollar ad campaign or undermine your most important relationships. Kaplan Thaler and Koval show how to get more of what you want with surprisingly less than you’d imagine.

Written in the same entertaining, story-driven style that made THE POWER OF NICE the go-to book for finishing first, THE POWER OF SMALL demonstrates how all of us can harness the power of small to improve and reinvent our lives. It’s the ultimate guide to shrinking your outlook to broaden your horizons.

Get SMALL and get going!

Abbildung: amazon

It's Not What You Sell, It's What You Stand For: Why Every Extraordinary Business Is Driven by Purpose

Abbildung: amazon

Over the last thirty-five years, Roy Spence has helped organizations such as Southwest Airlines, BMW, the University of Texas, Wal-Mart, the Clinton Global Initiative, and many others achieve greatness by obsessing about one big idea: purpose. With purpose as the North Star, employee engagement is higher, competition is less threatening, customers are more loyal, and innovation flows.

As Spence writes, "Purpose is a reason for being that goes beyond making money-and it almost always results in making more money than you ever thought possible." Especially during times of great economic uncertainty, purpose is the key to creating and maintaining a high- performing organization, deserving just as much attention as strategy, execution, and innovation.

These insider insights and case studies will help you discover your organization's purpose, proclaim it to the world, and apply it to everything you do.

The Hero and the Outlaw: Building Extraordinary Brands Through the Power of Archetypes.

Abbildung: amazon

This book describes a system of meaning management, the first-ever systematic approach to successful brand meaning. 'This book illuminates the most ancient grooves in our mental architecture, which Carol Jung described as "archetypes", and shows how they can be employed to bring meaning and profit to a brand. There is a nascent power here, which, if understood correctly, can bring a rare vitality to a brand or a corporation' - From the Foreward by Alex Kroll former Creative Director, CEO and Chairman of Young & Rubicam. Some brands are so extraordinary that they become larger-than-life, symbolic of entire cultures, and used and admired by consumers the world over. But in spite of all the books and banter about branding, few companies come even close to developing iconic identities for their brands. New Internet brands are being born every minute, with lots of flash and fanfare, but often with no real human connection to make them truly relevant. At the same time, mature brands are diluting their identities in an attempt to respond to shifting trends, while other others attempt to graft meaning onto products in artificial and ineffectual ways. As a result, millions of advertising and promotional dollars are being squandered. Understanding and leveraging archetypal meanings - that is, finding the soul of your brand and then expressing it in ways that tap into universal feelings and instincts - are key prerequisites to effective marketing in today's intensely competitive and complex environment. Archetypes - which can be found in reoccurring patterns in art, literature, myth and fables - show us the way ...


Passion Brands: Why Some Brands Are Just Gotta Have, Drive All Night For, and Tell All Your Friends About.

Abbildung: amazon

What makes some brands stand out from the pack year after year? In a vast marketplace glutted with countless "pretty good brands," how are some products able to command unquestionable customer loyalty and lasting enthusiasm?
Veteran business strategist Kate Newlin defines the key ingredients that go into passion brands—brands that we recommend to friends wholeheartedly, with a joyous, even evangelical zeal. Passion brands inspire an emotional attachment. Unlike consumer fads, we become personally invested in them, sometimes even more so than we do with our friends and loved ones.
Newlin identifies the social factors that have made passion brands the driving force in consumer marketing today. Based on proprietary research, which makes use of in-depth interviews with company executives as well as state-of-the-art analytics, she answers the following key questions:

• Are there common characteristics that enable passion brands to become carriers of personal meaning?
• What is the financial impact on a company that produces a passion brand?
• Do passion brands create a halo over the stock prices?

She notes that in a world of almost unlimited consumer choices, the old rules of marketing just don’t work anymore (product, package, position, price, and promotion). Now marketers must react to consumers in real time, encouraging "brand democracy" in which users can help decide a product’s characteristics, from size and color to how it should be marketed. Passion Brands is must reading for entrepreneurs and denizens of corporate cubicles and boardrooms alike.
