Success in Social Marketing: 100 Case Studies From Around the Globe

 

Routledge (July 2022)

 

The following is a statement from Jeff French in the Preface of the book.

Professor Jeff French, President

International Social Marketing Association

“Kotler and Lee have over many years developed the concept of social marketing as a practical set of principles that can be applied to inform and augment programmes that seek to influence positive social behaviour.

 

This book is an invaluable guide to both those familiar with social marketing and those new to the field.

The book provides an invaluable overview of real examples of the contribution that social marketing principles can make across a broad range of social challenges. The book helpfully uses a consistent strategic presentation framework based on social marketing principles to tell the story of the cases set out in the book. This consistent and helpful framework helps to emphasize the power of social marketing to help shape, develop, deliver, and evaluate social interest programmes. This book is a fantastic addition to the social marketing literature and is an invaluable guide to how it can enhance both the effectiveness and efficiency of such programmes.

This is a book that every scholar and practitioner should have in their library.”

Social Marketing: Changing Behaviors for Good

 

SAGE Publications Inc; Fifth Edition (March 2015)

This is an updated version of Social Marketing: Influencing Behaviors for Good, 4th Edition (2011), a best seller for Sage.

Social Marketing: Changing Behaviors for Good is the definitive textbook for the planning and implementation of programs designed to influence social change. No other text is as comprehensive and foundational when it comes to taking key marketing principles and applying them to campaigns and efforts to influence action. Nancy R. Lee (a preeminent lecturer, consultant, and author in social marketing) and Philip Kotler (an influential individual in the field who coined the term “social marketing” in 1971 with Gerald Zaltman) demonstrate how traditional marketing principles and techniques are successfully applied to campaigns and efforts to improve health, decrease injuries, protect the environment, build communities, and enhance financial well-being. The Fifth Edition contains more than 26 new cases highlighting the 10 step planning model, and a new chapter describing major theories, models and frameworks that inform social marketing strategies and inspire social marketers.

“The 5th edition of this excellent social marketing textbook is out. Here is part of what I wrote as the Preface:

It is especially rewarding for its readers by increasing the depth and breadth of models and frameworks it offers and setting them aside in a separate chapter. This very much reflects the historical development of the field of social marketing – increasing the science base of its planning, execution, and evaluation of real world social challenges.

. . . it is replete with new approaches to research and implementation including crowdsourcing, participatory action research and Gerald Zaltman’s Metaphor Solicitation Technique. It makes us of current thinking on habit formation and behavioral economics (e.g. nudging). It offers practical – and especially needed – advice on midcourse corrections and essential evaluations that can insure that applications have the intended effect – and that unexpected outcomes are recognized and responded to.

 

It would be a great addition to your library.”

Up and Out of Poverty: The Social Marketing Solution (Wharton School Publishing, 2009)

Available at Amazon.com

In Up and Out of Poverty, legendary marketing expert Philip Kotler and social marketing innovator Nancy Lee consider poverty from a powerful new viewpoint: that of the marketer. Kotler and Lee assess each proposed path to poverty reduction, from traditional foreign aid to improved education and job training, economic development to microfinance. They offer crucial new insights into why so many anti-poverty programs fail--and propose a new paradigm that can achieve far better results. You'll learn how to apply advanced marketing strategies and techniques to systematically put in place the conditions poor people need to escape poverty. Through more than 25 real case studies and examples, you'll learn how these marketing techniques can help promote health, education, community building, personal motivation, and more. Major sections cover:

  • Poverty: understanding the problem and assessing current solutions.
    What's working, what hasn't worked, and why it hasn't worked.
  • How marketing principles can drive poverty solutions that really work.
    Applying segmentation, defining target markets and desired behavior changes, and understanding barriers and motivation.
  • Developing a strategic marketing plan for reducing poverty.
    Powerful lessons from the successes of tuberculosis prevention in Peru.
  • Ensuring an integrated approach.
    Bringing together the public, nonprofit, and private sector-and local people "on the ground".
    For 30 years, the authors' social marketing techniques have been successfully applied to healthcare, environmental protection, family planning, and many other social challenges. Now, Kotler and Lee apply them to the largest challenge of all: global poverty.

Marketing in the Public Sector: A Roadmap for Improved Performance (Wharton Publishing, 2006)

Available at Amazon.com

This is a groundbreaking book written exclusively for governmental agencies, offering dozens of marketing success stories from agencies of all types – from around the world - demonstrating that marketing is far more than communications and has at its core a citizen-oriented mindset. It presents a step-by-step model for developing a marketing plan and demonstrates how the tools in the marketing toolbox can be used to engender citizen support for your agency, increase utilization of your products and services, influence positive public behaviors – even increase revenues and decrease operating costs.

Governor Christine Gregorie, Washington State wrote: "This book is filled with insights for people who want to communicate effectively about government programs, but it should also be on the bookshelf of any government manager who needs to think creatively about how to improve customer service. Every page contains information and ideas that public-sector leaders can, and should, put in their management tool kits."

Dave Ross, CBS News Commentator wrote: "Kotler and Lee are teaching governments to motivate by invitation rather than intimidations. Instead of complaint and reaction, they work to create a culture of contagious cooperation that can replace rulemaking with social consensus. This is a practical manual for un-clogging hearing rooms, cooling tempers, and putting government back on the side of the people who pay for it."
