Recommendation

Mark Tungate explores how to market to the elusive, desirable male demographic by following a fictitious young businessman throughout his day. This glimpse of how a prototype male engages with different brands indicates what men generally look for in a product and how to reach them with your marketing. Tungate explores several consumer categories, including grooming, fashion, travel, cars and sex. Curiously, much of his book is off-point, yet his writing detours are appealing and enlightening. For instance, he has a proclivity for outlining the history of various brands, but declines to explain what marketing avenues these labels traveled on the road to branding success. Instead, he brings the subject back on-point by including a helpful “branding toolkit” at the conclusion of each chapter. Although other positioning books might prove more practical, getAbstract suggests that marketers and brand managers will find Tungate’s meandering, evocative anecdotal approach more enjoyable.

Take-Aways

  • Today’s man shops more than his father did, but not as much as women do.
  • Men do work at looking good, but they want it to appear effortless.
  • Marketers can use the shaving ritual as a springboard to sell an array of grooming products.
