In a nutshell

This somewhat controversial book paints a candid and revealing portrait of the power of marketing within an organization. The author, Seth Godin, provides real and sometimes colourful examples of what has worked well and not so well in the past. It’s all about how to apply winning principles to your own branding strategy by breaking established paradigms.

What does it all mean?

After reading the book All Marketers Are Liars, it’s easier to identify what works in marketing and, more importantly, why people buy into lies (that they tell themselves). Here’s an overview of the lessons that are shared in these pages:

  • The three most important questions to ask yourself are as follows: What is your story? Will your target audience believe your story? And is it true?
  • Gain a better understanding of the psychology of the consumer in order to adapt the message accordingly.
  • Facts don’t really matter: all that matters is what the consumer believes!

Inspirational quotes from the book

“If you believe it, it becomes true.” “We drink the can, not the beverage.” “Stories make it easier to understand the world. Stories are the only way we know to spread an idea. Marketers didn’t invent storytelling. They just perfected it.”

Who would you recommend All Marketers Are Liars to?

A company’s marketing department likely has the most to gain from reading this book. It suggests a different way of selling that does more than just develop a list of arguments—it delivers an engaging vision rooted in authenticity and a dream. All Marketers Are Liars would also be very beneficial for anyone who works in advertising and brand awareness: it will help you see the field in a new light!

Enjoy your reading!
