“just add an egg”*
*I should note that though Dichter’s work WAS influential, however, there were other factors
reported (like fresh eggs made nicer cakes) - this from Laura Shapiro’s work

woman after they hit puberty, but not before.”
Strategy: “Spread the message that being a girl is something to
be celebrated, far beyond puberty.”

attitudes and behaviors
attitude:
• a set of emotions, beliefs, and behaviors toward a particular
object, person, thing, or event.
• are usually the result of past experiences, lack of past experience,
or outside influence (peer pressure, upbringing, etc).

other brands they follow
The idea is pretty straight forward, but why?
1.Who are you ‘competing with’ for audience attention
2.Getting a better understanding of the audience interests and tastes
3.Opens up opportunities for collaborations and/or partnerships

motivations
•Social currency - “Sharing this will make me look
smarter/cooler/funnier/hipper.”
•Triggers - “I want to share this because it reminds me of something
familiar and comfortable.” (relatedness)
•Emotions - “I want to share this because it made me feel
something strongly.”
•Public - “I want to share this to belong to a tribe.”
•Practical value - “I want to share this because it’s useful.”
•Stories - “I want to share this because I connected to the story.”

the importance of culture
Today’s customer is incredibly sensitive to inauthentic attempts to pander to a community of
interest. If you attempt to enter a community without understanding the culture, you will be
rejected.
This is much like an anthropological study. Becoming part of the community of interest means
that you understand the language, the rules, the leaders, the history, and the trends that are
part of that culture.
29. INBOUND15@missrogue
what you need to know about culture
1.Influential figures/movement
2.Language & memes
3.Historic & current news
4.Rules & mores

the competition is…
1.more than just your proxy competition. eg. if you are
offering hair straighteners for curly hair, you are also
competing with the natural hair movement.
2.anyone your audience pays attention to, spends their
money at…adores!
3.apathy, disinterest, cynicism
34. INBOUND15@missrogue
what you are looking for
1. what are they doing to reach their audience? is it working? what
works? what doesn’t?
2. who is in their audience? is it the same as yours? how well do they
connect with this audience?
3. Gaps in what they present and what your audience
needs/wants/desires.
4. How you stack up (not only where you are at, but in your capabilities)

the snorkel/scuba method of researching
Metaphorically, think of it like snorkeling over a huge coral reef. You are trying to cover as much
of the reef as possible in a short amount of time. If you see a glimmer of something unique (a
sunken ship? a different looking coral? a mermaid?), you’ll want to throw on your scuba gear
and dive down to follow your lead.
Every data set is unique, so where you deep dive will always be different. It’s an art as much as a
science.
