About the Book

How can marketers navigate the growing array of marketing specialties, multiplying media options and data sources, and increasing content saturation to improve effectiveness and return on investment?

How can they provide consumers with seamless experiences of value across channels that overcome behavioral barriers and actually deliver results?

In The Activation Imperative, William Rosen and Laurence Minsky provide a straightforward guide for marketers to move beyond building brands to activating them—from simply projecting what a brand is to optimizing what it does—to move people closer to transaction.

Drawing on years of research and experience with the world’s most sophisticated brands, Rosen and Minsky share a unifying cross-discipline marketing approach designed to impact critical behaviors and more effectively drive business results. They reveal how today’s more personalized and trackable communications illuminate tremendous diversity in paths-to-purchase and explain how to leverage this data to develop more effective strategies and creative targeted to individual inflection points. With actionable advice and best-in-class examples, Rosen and Minsky offer marketers a road map to manage today’s increasingly fragmented marketing landscape to more effectively and efficiently build brands and business.

Review :
Branding is a two-step process: definingthe brand and activating the brand. The Activation Imperativeis the best that I have seen on activating the brand. For those striving to break down traditional marketing silos and design truly human-centered solutions that drive business results, this book provides the road map and beacon you have been looking for. The Activation Imperative offers readers a practical approach to the transformation needed to respond to today’s accelerating pace of technological change. It is as valuable to today’s marketing practitioners as it is to academics. A must read for anyone interested in increasing the effectiveness of modern marketing. The Activation Imperative is an essential read for any marketer hoping to stay relevant in a rapidly changing marketplace. Rosen and Minsky build a compelling argument for moving beyond carpet-bombing prospective customers with brand promotion to engaging them at key trigger points in the customer journey. With its keen insights on building both brand and bottom line results, this is one book you don’t want to miss! The Activation Imperative takes marketing strategy to a new level, demanding more from marketing and marketers. Rosen and Minsky bring cohesion, structure, and direction to an increasingly fragmented marketing environment. They show how to weave digital and traditional channels together to build powerful and cost-effective marketing campaigns. A thoughtful book, and a must-read. In our recent groundbreaking study, the Association of National Advertisers found that spending on brand activation will top $740 billion by 2020, more than twice as much as advertising. I’m glad to finally see a book like The Activation Imperative that is not only focused on brand activation but also provides a methodology for better aligning marketing disciplines to achieve it.
