Successful Aggressive Marketing
The docile nature of a business may require substantial change management and as such only a highly aggressive method will succeed. Škoda Auto, a well known car manufacturer, nearly changed its name in 1997, instead it kept its £350m UK sales and followed an aggressive marketing campaign to change its perceived image during the 1990s and early into the 21st century, to great success doubling its car sales in 11 years, 1997 336,000 sold, 2008 saw 674,000 vehicles sold. Specialist media companies offering directed advertising using guerrilla tactics are often used in this way by large companies for corporate ambiguity and by small companies to benefit from their field expertise and market knowledge.

Famous quotes containing the words successful and/or aggressive:
“The formula for achieving a successful relationship is simple: you should treat all disasters as if they were trivialities but never treat a triviality as if it were a disaster.”
—Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)
“So in your discussions of the nuclear freeze proposals, I urge you to beware the temptation of pride—the temptation blithely to declare yourselves above it all and label both sides equally at fault, to ignore the facts of history and the aggressive impulses of an evil empire, to simply call the arms race a giant misunderstanding and thereby remove yourself from the struggle between right and wrong, good and evil.”
—Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
