5.0 out of 5 stars
5/5 John Grant. Hugely convincing stuff. Thank you for writing this book.,
By Nicholas Hardy (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Green Marketing Manifesto (Hardcover)
I read this book with trepidation, thinking, OK I'll see if this is just more hyberbole about 'green mania' and, to my relief, I found an excellent, well-balanced presentation of a really simple idea about how marketers are in a truly key position to make a difference in this world. As communication experts, marketers are in a place where they can really influence, and hopefully change the way we, the consumer, behave. What is so refreshing about this book is that it immediately quashes any idea of 'green-washing' and 'jumping on the green bandwagon'. Instead, the author is very honest about the difficulties of changing consumer perception and behaviour, and offers ideas for ways forward.
The key message to take away from this book is that we should not be trying to force a 'green revolution' per se, but that we should be moving consumers towards being 'green' as a matter of course - green should become the normal way we behave rather than something we have to make an effort at. Not only is this an extremely thought provoking book, it is hugely engaging. You will find yourself both nodding knowingly as you read it and also thinking, 'yes, that is a really good idea'.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Great little read for marketeers,
By Peter Shield "editor-naturalchoices.co.uk" (Languedoc- France) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Green Marketing Manifesto (Hardcover)
John Grant, ex of St. Lukes the ethical advertising agency, is one of the most proflic writers on new marketing trends. He also happens to be very environmentally aware in his outlook. The book tackles the main greenwash versus genuinely green marketing issues as well as giving important tips on telling the difference. The key point is that green marketing is making green things normal, not normal things green. This is a crucial point so often missed by marketers jumping on the green band wagon. A classic example would be the Flybe's `ecolabelling' which apart from the utterly ridiculousness of their claims added insult to injury by claiming that extra leg room was somehow `eco'. All marketing campaigns naturally have a commercial aspect, companies wouldn't do marketing if the net result was not a profit positive one, a green campaign should also have a green outcome, ie replacing an energy intensive product with a carbon neutral one but Grant a truly green marketing campaign is one that does not make a minor difference but one which creates a real step change in culture. A good example would be the way that cruelty free cosmetics from the Body Shop placed animal testing on the agenda of all cosmetic companies, and lead to a huge cleaning up, though not eradication, of this practice. This book has some internal conflicts, for the green approach when faced with choices is really whether to cut or switch. For green marketing the objective is to switch from one product to another rather than decide to do without at all. However overall the book casts new insight into green marketing. The book works well with Chris Anderson's The Long Tail on micro niches in demographics.

This review is from: The Green Marketing Manifesto (Hardcover)
Great book, bit heavy in places but very enlightening. Marketing managers and brands need to wake up to the reality that they are way behind the consumer curve and their values. I recommend you also read Ethical Marketing & The New Consumer. Why are there just two books on the subject?
