  • “A great idea can come from anywhere, whether it’s from an agency or brand, a great idea is a great idea.” What are some great ideas that you currently have? (p.3)
  • Do you think using communication as an entertainment is important when it comes to marketing? How so? (p.11)
  • As a brand, to “embrace your uniqueness” is an attractive quality. What are some attractive qualities that your brand has right now? (p. 55)
  • The HOOK theory only works if you know one of the 5 main principles. Principle 3 states that you must “Know your product benefit”. What does this mean?
  • “People will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Has this happened to you? Share with the group. (p.92)

 

HOOK theory is made up of four elements (Human, Ownable, Offer, Keep) that help you create great ideas and marketing campaigns that work.
