Live with Roger and Pascal: Circle of Simplicity, Signature Talks, and Controlling Rumours

MarketingMadeSimple #SpeakersCorner #FilmMarketing #RogerAndPascal #ExpertQandA

Ever wondered how marketing leaders keep things simple, communicate with impact, and draw inspiration from the world of film?

Join Roger Edwards @RogEdwardsTV and Pascal Fintoni @PascalFintoni_on_YouTube for another episode of their live companion show, where they answer your questions and share practical insights in just 30 minutes!

In this episode:

👌 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲

What is the Circle of Marketing Simplicity?

This special request from Pascal turned out to be an impromptu briefing from Roger, and a timely reminder about his 'Offer - Goal - Activity' model from his book 'Cats, Mats and Marketing Plans'.

🗣️ 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗿

I heard that as a speaker you need to have a signature talk, what is it and how do you create that signature talk?

This is the very question that a delegate asked Pascal at a recent conversation.

Roger and Pascal explore the meaning and definition of 'signature talk' and share their personal advice including whether you should be thinking in terms of 'signature segments'.

🍿 𝗙𝗶𝗹𝗺 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱

A look back at two ingenious marketing tactics used to “Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back”, the sequel that celebrated its 45 anniversary this year.

  1. The teaser trailer for "The Empire Strikes Back" was filled with nostalgia, featuring Harrison Ford's voiceover in the style of 1950s radio serials and TV shows that inspired George Lucas.

  2. The marketing team cleverly used rumours and misinformation in magazines to protect the film's biggest secret (you know which one!). They published an article in Starburst Magazine that mixed true plot points with false information, such as "Luke killing Han Solo" or "the Millennium Falcon getting zapped into a time warp."

Our selection of historical events and anniversaries from the world of science, technology and popular culture.

00:43:23 Marketing Tech and Apps

ROGER: It’s all about AI Marketing Strategy: Most AI tools have been built to churn out content quickly (tactics) rather than help you think and plan (strategy). Here’s two with a strategy focus.

Miro (with AI Assist): https://miro.com/ai/

StratApp: https://www.producthunt.com/products/stratapp

Out of the box, ChatGPT pushes you into tactics. But you can force it to stay strategic. For example: “Act as a marketing strategist. Help me define my target customer segments, brand positioning, and key goals before suggesting any tactics.”

PASCAL: It’s all about getting serious with AI for Marketing:

Google AI Studio https://aistudio.google.com/live use the Share Screen function and have in-depth conversations about your marketing plan, workflows and content strategies.

Prompt: Ideal Customer Profile – use this prompt to begin a detailed conversation about your ideal customer and create a series of profiles and avatars:

I need your help to write a detailed customer profile or persona. Acting as my expert marketing and sales consultant, can you please remind me how to structure a customer profile or persona for b2b/b2c?

Director: Christopher Nolan

Writer: Christopher Nolan

Starring: Cillian Murphy stars as Oppenheimer, with Emily Blunt as Oppenheimer's wife Katherine "Kitty" Oppenheimer, Matt Damon as General Leslie Groves, director of the Manhattan Project, and Robert Downey Jr. as Lewis Strauss, a senior member of the United States Atomic Energy Commission.

Casino Royale (2006)

Director: Martin Campbell

Writers: Neal Purvis, Robert Wade, Paul Haggis

Stars: Daniel Craig, Eva Green, Judi Dench, Mads Mikkelsen

Synopsis: After earning 00 status and a licence to kill, secret agent James Bond sets out on his first mission as 007. Bond must defeat a private banker funding terrorists in a high-stakes game of poker at Casino Royale, Montenegro.

We look at the marketing of this reboot of the James Bond franchise. Massive changes in style and cinematography, and a much more rugged and physical approach to storytelling. There are product placement campaigns going on from film sponsors but is the campaign strong enough to support the reboot?

This 1990 Horror B-Movie Style film features an excellent cast, amazing scenery, tension, horror and fun but it never descends into parody. We look at the marketing for the film as it approaches the April 2023 celebration of 33 years since its release.

An excellent ensemble movie from Guy Ritchie. We look at the troubled production and release caused by the Covid pandemic, concerns over the nationality of the movie’s villains and the financial troubles of the distributor. The marketing campaign was under-whelming and failed to showcase how good the movie really is - but was this the right decision for the new distributor given all the delays?

This is a completely different kind of shark movie. Exciting, tense and edge of seat scary with some incredible cinematography and landscapes.    We examine the marketing campaign from the tense trailers, gorgeous colourful posters and clever TV spots. We also look at the tongue in cheek social media campaign which also introduced us to one of the stars of the film. Stephen “Sully” Seagull. Unlike the shark, sully wasn’t CGI.

The city of New York is almost a character as it serves as a backdrop to the lonely lives of the stars. Sea of Love paved the way for the Femme Fatale films of the 1990s such as Basic Instinct.  We look at the brilliant posters and consider how the film benefited from the return of Pacino after a 4 -year absence. We also consider whether the name of the film should have been different. Would adopting the literal translation of the French title have worked better?    About Two Geeks and A Marketing Podcast     Hosted by the...

She kicked up a torrent of publicity whilst airing her concerns.  Once the film came out she admitted Cruise’s performance was excellent and the film was a masterpiece. She even took out an advert in the NY Times to admit she was wrong.  We dig into this story in more detail.    About Two Geeks and A Marketing Podcast     Hosted by the two geeks, Roger Edwards and Pascal Fintoni, to keep you up to date with the latest news, tech, content and wisdom from the world of marketing.   Roger is a man on a mission to keep marketing simple.

When they are forced to abandon their ship, they board a derelict ocean liner, where they become convinced that someone is stalking them. (source: imdb.com)  This is a great film with several mind-scrambling twists and genre-shifts. In fact, the marketing lets it down because the posters and trailer suggest it’s a slasher film on a cruise liner. Whilst that’s what you might think at first the film soon goes off in a scary time paradox direction. Many people will have given Triangle a miss because of the false impression created by the marketing.  The film is based in part on the story of Sisyphus, a figure in Greek mythology.  Written and directed by Christopher Smith (Creep 2004, Severance 2006, Black Death 2010, Detour 2016, Alex Rider TV Series 2020, The Banishing 2021).  Great cast including Melissa George, Liam Hemsworth and Michael Dorman.  About Two Geeks and A Marketing Podcast    Hosted by the two geeks, Roger Edwards and Pascal Fintoni, to keep you up to date with the latest news, tech, content and wisdom from the world of marketing.  Roger is a man on a mission to keep marketing simple.
