Publication: From Marketing Strategy to Authenticity2

Picture: From Marketing Strategy to Authenticity2 Tuesday 14 April 2009 - Based on a long relationship I decided to join Richard van Nieuwenhoven Helbach and   other marketeers as members of De Industieele Groote Club in Amsterdam. This time as participant in the so called `Marketing Strategie Tafel`,   founded by Richard and Philip Todt a long time go.

Paul Kortman of PK2 Selfmangement gave a presentation on `Authenticity` in `De Grote Zaal`. Introduced by Antoinette Pernot, the chairwoman of this evening, Paul showed us many texts on the big screen and was eager to share with us some elements of his personal everlasting quest to `Authenticity` using many, sometimes paradoxal, paradigms.

Besides: I decided about 16 years ago to transform the orthodox marketing approach into a sometimes breathtaking `Magnitising & Personal Branding Approach`.

I still remember a vivid dialogue I had on this specific subject with the `marketing guru` Philip Kottler  in Restaurant `De Hoefslag` in Bosch en Duin many, many years ago...

With sincere authenticity,  I was told by other marketeers...

At that time I was an ambitious marketing entrepreneur with my -in 2009 still existing- marketing resultancy company TOPAZ, founded in 1986...

That personal changing -I Ching- approach made it possible for me -also as a niche player  - to transform my company EdiMark bv (founded in 1988)   into Forest Returns bv in 1998 and to launch later step-by step -with a little help of my friends- entities in general and sustainable country estates in particular such as:


So there were many reasons for me to be curious about the specific topic of this evening: `Authenticity`.

Particularly, I enjoyed the dialogue afterwards during our balanced dinner and I wrote and presented spontaneously the following epigram in Dutch:


Van groeipijn naar oprecht ontwaken…
 

De Marketing Strategie Tafel, zomaar op derde paasdag,
wat authenticiteit volgens Paul Kortman niet vermag.

Inderdaad; PK kwadraat is waar deze Paul voor staat,
maakte de dialoog met Philip beide heren ietwat kwaad ?

Philip verliet de Grote Zaal en ook hij bleef gewoon zichzelf.
Paul toonde ons eerder de 2 D ontwikkeling onder het gewelf.

In 4 D groter groeien doet rechtgeaarde marketeers best pijn.
Doch daarna voelt het ware ontwaken toch echt wel fijn.

Terug naar de echte wortels van ons marketingbestaan alhier.
Want wij zetten samen de deur naar spiritualiteit op een kier.

Deze deur staat overigens bij mij zelf al jarenlang wijd open,
Het lijkt mij dan ook zinvol deze tafel maar eens om te dopen.

Marketing Strategie verwordt dan tot Marketing Authenciteit
Na de genoemde groeipijn is het ontwaken wat ons echt bevrijdt
