laws of growth
In a special presentation for ACA members, Dr. Rachel Kennedy, Associate Director and Dr. Zac Anesbury, Senior Marketing Scientist at the Ehrenberg-Bass Institute for Marketing Science, shared an overview of the key principles outlined in How Brands Grow, the “manifesto for evidence-based marketing.”
Their extensive research shows that market penetration – not loyalty – is the most critical factor for growth, and that makes reach vehicles like TV essential. Dr. Kennedy highlighted that brands vary tremendously in market share, with large variations in penetration, but vary little in their loyalty metrics (behavioural and attitudinal).
While we weren’t able to share a recording of the presentation as it is proprietary to the Ehrenberg-Bass Institute, you can download a summary of the seminar here and you can check out our whitepaper summary of How Brands Grow here.
