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:
“If the pages of this book contain some successful verse, the reader must excuse me the discourtesy of having usurped it first. Our nothingness differs little; it is a trivial and chance circumstance that you should be the reader of these exercises and I their author.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
“You were born into a different world that will present you with different gifts and challenges. A new vision of manhood will be called for that does not tie so closely into the more aggressive and competitive residues of our male character. You will need to search out new ways of expressing strength, showing mastery, and exhibiting courage—ways that do not depend upon confronting the world before you as an adversary.”
—Kent Nerburn (20th century)
