About this listen
We all want to have our message heard. In Bang! Linda Kaplan Thaler and Robin Koval tell us how. They and their talented colleagues are the brains behind a host of memorable and highly successful ads, from the enormously successful AFLAC duck to the irresistibly sentimental "Kodak moment" to Herbal Essences' outrageous "Totally Organic Experience." Kaplan Thaler and Koval offer savvy advice and proven strategies for getting out a loud, clear, attention-grabbing message about any product or service.
Presenting an arsenal of "big bang" ideas, the authors interweave entertaining recollections about their successes and failures, as well as those of other companies, with specific guidelines on establishing an atmosphere conducive to innovative breakthroughs. They show why having "enough" time to work on a project can be a disadvantage and why working in a small, cramped space is often the best way to come up with big ideas. Their insights into using intuition to capture just the right idea or phrase offer a new perspective on shaping and sustaining a marketing presence.
Full of colorful anecdotes and inspiring accounts of campaigns that have propelled revenues and dramatically increased market shares, Bang! shows managers how to create a marketing campaign that cuts through the message clutter and creates a marketing explosion.

Bang, and my mind is open
What I really liked about this book is its simple style and language.
Linda Kaplan talks in relatable language that makes one realise that big bangs are everywhere.
It’s just a matter of not overthinking and getting on with it

The 7 Hour Advert
I listened intently for the entire duration of this, what I can only describe as 'advert' for the author's own advertising/marketing company KPG. Time after time she tells us about how she, often singlehandedly from her own self-confessed brilliance, won the account, came up with the concept and project managed and wrote the theme tune - and each time ending the anecdote with the phrase '...and the client LLLLOVED it!'
We are given very few new ways of thinking about marketing, advertising etc... In fact the entire book is filled with cliches on how to run a business. I admit the these cliches are in fact good advice for anyone new to business, I just expected more from this book mainly as it is true that KPG have had some really successful campaigns over the years. Unfortunately the only piece of advice I could gain from this book (and I did so indirectly) was that as a company, self publicity is everything - which explains excactly what this book is, a brand-awareness exercise for the author's company!
I did not LLLLLOVE it! I'm afraid, Linda.
