  2. The “Old” Marketing Paradigm…(?) Name one brand that immediately comes to mind when we think of global marketing success and marketing trend setting and which has set a “model” for advertising that many still follow….? Answer: P&G The “old” P&G model says: “…put a message in front of people and relentlessly repeat it until consumers give in and buy the product” (Source: “Permission Marketing”, Seth Godwin, 1999) The more recent model as advocated by P&G’s own CEO, A G Lafley: “ I tell marketers to LEARN TO LET GO because THE MORE IN CONTROL WE ARE, THE MORE OUT OF TOUCH WE BECOME…”

  5. BMW: “Involve Me” The following very adequately sums up BMW’s overall marketing philosophy: “Tell me something – and I will forget; Show me something – and I can remember; Involve me – and I will understand….”
