What Sticks is the one book that explains exactly how marketing and advertising works today! Based on new insights from analysis of over $1billion worth of advertising.

Decades ago it was ok to believe, as retail magnate John Wannamaker did, that “Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is, I don’t know which half.”

However, today the stakes are much higher as marketing thought-leaders Rex Briggs and Greg Stuart estimate that $112 billion in advertising spending in the U.S. alone is wasted, which is cutting deeply into company profits.

Based on proprietary research against $1 billion in advertising spending, What Sticks uncovers bold new insights from the largest-ever global marketing research project amongst 30 Fortune 200 companies, including: Procter & Gamble, Johnson & Johnson, Kraft, McDonald's, Unilever, Ford and others. This is a comprehensive and solutions-oriented book that outlines how any marketer, at any level, can guarantee their advertising succeeds.

Marketers cannot ignore the findings or the solutions revealed in What Sticks. Written in a conversational, easy-to-read style, you will learn:
 
Why 47% of the advertising campaigns studied didn’t work and what you can do to guarantee yours does
How to spend the same advertising budget, but get better results – the campaigns studied on average gained +20% (And one campaign actually gained nearly +2000%.)
How to get your CFO and CEO to eagerly increase your marketing & advertising budget
What many marketers don’t get about how marketing & advertising REALLY works
Forecast next year’s advertising budget (hint: It’s not by using last year’s spending!)
How to immediately fix your advertising by applying these principles and real nuggets of wisdom

With data like this, no marketer can ignore these findings or the solutions found in What Sticks.

Advertising Age had this to say…

“The book… may well be the most important advertising research since the "How Advertising Works" study of the early 1990s.”

“Although its conclusions are based on number-crunching done with such marketing titans as Procter & Gamble, Johnson & Johnson, Unilever, Kraft Foods and McDonald's, the book is written accessibly enough to find an audience among all marketers and creatives.”
