We Are All Weird is Seth Godin's cult classic on celebrating (and marketing to) the individual, now repackaged and relaunched
World of Warcrafters, LARPers, Settlers of Catan? Weird.
Beliebers, Swifties, Directioners? Weirder.
Paleos, vegans, carb loaders, ovolactovegetarians? Definitely weird.
Face it. We're all weird.
So why are companies still trying to build products for the masses?
Why are we still acting like the masses even exist?
Weird is the new normal. And only companies that figure that out have any chance of survival.
In this book, Seth Godin shows you how.
'Read this book slowly and read it again, for the lessons are rich and wise'
Jacqueline Novogratz, founder, Acumen
For generations, marketers, industrialists and politicians have tried to force us into little boxes, complying with their idea of what we should buy, use or want. And in an industrial, mass-market driven world, this was efficient and it worked. But what we learned in this new era is that mass limits our choice because it succeeds on conformity.
As Godin has identified, a new era of weirdness is upon us. People with more choices, more interests and the power to do something about it are stepping forward and insisting that the world work in a different way. By enabling choice we allow people to survive and thrive.
"This is a subversive book. It says that the marketer is not--and ought not to be--at the center of successful marketing. The customer should be. Are you ready for that?" --From the Foreword by Malcolm Gladwell, author of The Tipping Point.
Counter to traditional marketing wisdom, which tries to count, measure, and manipulate the spread of information, Seth Godin argues that the information can spread most effectively from customer to customer, rather than from business to customer. Godin calls this powerful customer-to-customer dialogue the ideavirus, and cheerfully eggs marketers on to create an environment where their ideas can replicate and spread.
In lively detail, Godin looks at the ways companies such as PayPal, Hotmail, GeoCities, even Volkswagen have successfully launched ideaviruses. He offers a "recipe" for creating your own ideavirus, identifies the key factors in the successful spread of an ideavirus (powerful sneezers, hives, a clear vector, a smooth, friction-free transmission), and shows how any business, large or small, can use ideavirus marketing to succeed in a world that just doesn't want to hear it anymore from the traditional marketers.

Der Marketing-Guru Seth Godin weiß: Heute werden Produkte nicht mehr durch aufsehenerregende Werbeblöcke oder nervende Spam-Mailings vermarktet– jedenfalls nicht erfolgreich. Ob für Technologie- Start-ups, Kleinunternehmer oder Konzernmitarbeiter, das Umfeld hat sich für alle geändert. Die Kunden erwarten keine Produkte mehr, sie erwarten angepasste Problemlösungen.
Godin gewährt erstmalig einen kompakten Einblick in seine ganze Marketingerfahrung. Er belegt mit konkreten Beispielen, dass effektives Marketing heute nur durch Einfühlungsvermögen, Service, Spannung, Vertrauen und die richtige Positionierung gelingt. Und zeigt, was alles nötig ist, um Menschen wieder mit guter Arbeit zu erreichen.
Secondo Seth Godin, ciò che caratterizza i migliori è la capacità di reagire nel modo giusto: cioè mollare subito, senza sensi di colpa, i vicoli ciechi e impegnare le proprie risorse per conquistare l'altra sponda del fossato. I vincenti sanno che i fossati più larghi e difficili riservano il premio migliore e che diventando leader di una nicchia conseguiranno profitti, gloria e sicurezza per il futuro.
Questo piccolo libro vi aiuta a capire se vi trovate in un fossato e vi incoraggia a superarlo perché vi ripagherà delle vostre fatiche. Se invece siete in un vicolo cieco, vi aiuta a trovare il coraggio di mollare, perché possiate essere vincenti in un'altra iniziativa.

Seit Generationen versuchen Marketingexperten, Industrielle und Politiker, uns zu kategorisieren, damit wir uns daran ausrichten, was wir ihrer Meinung nach kaufen, verwenden oder wollen sollen. Und in einer industriellen Welt der Massenwirtschaft war das wirksam und hat funktioniert. Doch in dieser neuen Ära haben wir herausgefunden, dass Massendenken uns in unserer Wahl einschränkt, da es auf Konformität beruht.
Godin hat erkannt, dass wir uns in einem neuen Zeitalter der Sonderbarkeit befinden, wir sind "weird". Jeder mit mehr Wahlmöglichkeiten, mehr Interessen und der Möglichkeit, etwas zu ändern, erhebt sich und insistiert, dass die Dinge anders laufen sollten. Indem wir anderen die Möglichkeit der Wahl geben, stellen wir sicher, dass sie überleben und gedeihen können.
