02 Nov Inside-out Marketing: Converse build recording studio for aspiring musicians
The man behind Converse’s marketing Geoff Cottrill explains the thinking eloquently; “Your job as a marketer is to understand your brand, its position in the marketplace, what differentiates you from your competitors, and then serve those consumers. The idea was not to borrow equity, …we decided to do something to celebrate[our customers] and build something useful for them.”
“We could’ve spent the same amount of money to do a big eight-week TV campaign, bought time in event television programs, but three months later no one would remember any of it,” says Cottrill. People just don’t remember too many ads anymore, there’s just too much noise. So for what it would’ve cost to do one big ad, we can operate a studio for four or five years. So it was about looking at the long game here, and not just temporary transactional advertising.”
