Brands are alienating customers by telling the wrong story and championing a false purpose. Your business can avoid the same fate, attract loyal customers, and out-narrate the competition by embracing authenticity.

Readers will learn the importance of purpose and conflict in marketing activities, how to approach advertising with clarity and passion, and how to plan content while avoiding the false allure of aspirational advertising and insincere corporate social responsibility.

​Christine Korn untersucht negative massenmediale Berichterstattung über den Arbeitgeber und ihre Auswirkungen auf dessen Arbeitnehmer. Die Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter sind einerseits als Teil der Organisation auch selbst Gegenstand der Berichterstattung. Andererseits sind sie als Medienrezipienten gleichzeitig Beobachter und zudem potenziell von den negativen Folgen der Berichterstattung betroffen. Im Rahmen einer qualitativen und einer quantitativen Befragung betrachtet die Autorin die Reaktionen der Arbeitnehmer innerhalb dieses Spannungsfelds auf kognitiver und emotionaler Ebene sowie im Verhalten und entwickelt ein Wirkungsmodell. Ein besonderes Augenmerk legt sie dabei auf die Einflussmöglichkeiten der internen Kommunikation. Es zeigt sich, dass eine gute interne Kommunikation die Mitarbeiter zu Botschaftern ihrer Organisation machen kann.

Jan Steinbach, Michael Krisch und Horst Harguth zeigen, dass es beim Content-Marketing weniger um die Unterbrechung durch Werbung, sondern vielmehr darum gehen sollte, hilfreiche Inhalte mit Mehrwert zu entwickeln. ‚Helpvertising‘ stellt dar, wie Sie diese Form des Marketings erfolgreich in Ihrer Unternehmenspraxis einsetzen können. Unterbrechende Werbung soll dazu dienen, die Aufmerksamkeit auf die Produkte und Leistungen zu lenken und ein Kaufbedürfnis auszulösen. Diese Form des Marketings ist für Kunden nicht sonderlich attraktiv und für Unternehmen immer ineffizienter. Im digitalen Zeitalter wollen Menschen zunehmend selbst entscheiden, ob, wo, wann und wie sie mit Unternehmen interagieren. Daher benötigen wir im Marketing eine neue Denkweise. Die Autoren nennen diesen Ansatz Helpvertising.
