Bang For The Buck
Bang For The Buck (June 2017, Swedish) uses the so called Influence Matrix to explain the elements of effective marketing communication. The English edition is coming soon.
Many argue that the age of old media is over and digital channels are the future. Is that true? The answer can be found in the understanding of which marketing investments are the most effective. The question is how we compare sales with brand-building without comparing apples and pears. In Bang for the buck, the reader gets guidance in what will always be common to all channels – the customer’s brain. Measurement values can first be compared and give us insights about what each brand should focus on when they form a whole.
In his book, Erik Modig presents his model, The Influence Matrix, which is a tool for management, communication, marketing, and sales departments so that they can link and optimize daily work.

In November 2012 Erik published his doctoral dissertation at Stockholm School of Economics. The presented research documents how advertising creativity works and how it can be used to boost advertising effectiveness.
Today advertisers face the challenge of securing advertising effectiveness by producing an advertisement that gets the consumers’ attention and shapes their attitudes and behavior. One suggested way to reach these objectives is creativity. Both advertising industry professionals, awards, effectiveness reports, and research support this notion that what makes advertising effective is creative excellence. However, research has shown that advertising professionals seem to have a little formalized understanding of how advertising creativity works and how it is defined and measured. Current research needs to better understand the response to creative advertisements by documenting how advertising professionals and consumers assess and value creativity. By applying new perspectives and new theories this thesis investigates the effects advertising creativity has on consumers. The thesis reviews the academic research on advertising creativity and contributes with five articles to increase the understanding of advertising creativity and how perceptions of creativity influence advertising effectiveness. In so doing, it plays a part in advertisers.
