In addition to the usual Company of Friends professionals in attendance, this meeting featured special guest Robin Koval, co-author of Bang!. Robin shared her stories about her book and the advertising game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Robin&#8217;s best-known work includes the AFLAC (quacking duck) and Herbal Essences (orgasmic shampooing) advertising campaigns. Both these campaigns made bold statements that helped turn unknown, faltering brand names into well-recognized and popular products.<\/p>\n<p>Bang! defines and illustrates how to create a &#8220;big bang&#8221; in business. A big bang is an initiative that disrupts, may seem illogical, has a dramatic and irreversible impact, cannot be ignored, and becomes an icon. Sometimes, creating a big bang is the most effective way to make a message heard.<\/p>\n<p>The discussion covered how to make a bang, when it is advisable to do so, and why a bang is useful.<\/p>\n<p>The following are some characteristics of a big bang:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A big bang disrupts A big bang is illogical<\/li>\n<li>A big bang has a dramatic, immediate and irreversible impact<\/li>\n<li>A big bang can&#8217;t be ignored<\/li>\n<li>A big bang becomes an icon<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This book provides a number of ideas on how to create big bangs for messages along with some good management and leadership ideas.
