Dolce & Gabbana:Adding Partners, One Of The 9P's Of Marketing: A Corporate Marketing Strategy.

Pretty smart Marketing.

On a recent trip to Sicily I kept seeing Partnerships, Collaboration and Alliances of Dolce & Gabbana.

First I saw the Panettone Classico cake with the branding and partnership with Dolce & Gabbana. Then I saw a friend order a $25 glass of rose in the partnership partnership with Donnafugata.

I've now seen a skypool collaboration with Cloud 22 at Atlantic Royal. Shoes with Havaianas. Add Skims, and pens by Stabilo and Dolce. .

I like Marketing. I like advertising. I like copy and selling points. I like solving Marketing problems using the nine P's of Marketing. I like teaching them. 

I use my 9P's to illustrate Marketing examples in the classroom, in court as an expert witness, in seminars and to solve Marketing problems and to find opportunities. 

My 9P's of Marketing do include include these important concepts, practices and components:

I am using the 9P's with Planning, People, Product, Price, Promotion, Place, Partners, Presentation and Passion to illustrate an unusual insight or example. To find opportunities and problems in Marketing.

  • Planning and Research. 
    • Finding copy points is part of the creative and promotional planning. 
    • Planning for marketing activities, objectives, strategies and tactics. Viewership, revenue, sales. All sales, whether in services, fashion, sports, amusement parks, hotels, resorts, autos, fast food, retail sales or tires, refreshments or cereal, as three examples. 
    • From the founder of Intuit, Scott Cook, said: " A brand is no longer what we tell the consumer it is -- (maybe from Marketing Research never was is my comment) it is what consumers (“People” in the 9P’s) tell each other it is.
  • People (Segmentation and Targeting)
    • Consumers and users, as in shoppers. Fashion consumers. Add travelers. 
    • In my 9P's, I stress that firms need to look and analyze potential, new, existing and repeat customers and users
  • Product and Services, includes airports, sports teams, people and celebrities too. I teach that perfection resides in quality, not quantity.
  • Place (Distribution), includes retail and online. How about locations of airports, team stadiums, amusement parks and resorts?  
  • Price or Pricing, many contingency plans needed.  
  • Promotion
    • There are eight (8) major, strategic components or communication elements which are personal and non-personal communication activities. 
    • The activities that communicate the merits of the overall product include:
      • Personal Selling/ Sales Force: Sales persons
        • Listen more than you talk. People who listen more, learn more, plus helps you position your service/product/solution or offering. 
      • Advertising: 
      • Like Super Bowl advertising in February for Super Bowl. Think about this expression "It is only creative if the product or service sells." I wanted to add "It is only good media spending if it sells."
      • Sales Promotion, advertising mascots can fit here, too. Signage would fit here. 
      • Collateral Materials
      • Direct Marketing (also referred to as Action or Direct Response Advertising)
      • Interactive/Internet/Web, Digital Media, Social Media:  
      • Events and Experiences, sampling
      • Public Relations/PR
    • One stop shopping is more important than ever. 
  • Partners/Alliances, can be one of the most powerful of the 9P's if researched, performed and handled well.                 
    • There should be moving forward towards shared goals or goals. 
  • Presentation:
    • The act or acts of strategically presenting any of the different 9P’s© and/or components to your customers, suppliers, wholesalers, retailers, sales force, marketing intermediaries, clients, employees, partners, and/or others. 

      Presentation aspects may be signs, symbols or images that represent something; a descriptive or persuasive account (as a sales person of the product or service). Something set forth for the attention of mind of your targets ("People") and media audiences. I've added "culture," too. I'm adding "culture," too.

  • Passion, including consumers and employees. Think about the lines sometimes of consumers waiting for a new Apple product

I'm Seeing A Trend. Unreadable Supers Or Legal Copy. An Observation and Insights Of What I See And Feel With The 9P’s Of Marketing. #112

I find things you can't make up. Observational. Conversational. Presentable. 

I'm starting a series of observations and insights from my travels. #112

I'm highlighting photos and headlines I see. I use these in my marketing, promotion, business and advertising presentations.

What's a "super?" A "super" on TV is text or a graphic placed over the image; On a TV screen, a "super" is used as shorthand for "superimpose" and appears as text like a name, location, or caption. Or like a hundred words you could never read.


This is extra large in the photo. I blew the frame up and could barely read the copy. So, under Product, Presentation and Branding and Partners: 

Do you ever read or can you read a advertising super?

Here's one from Morgan & Morgan.

In Marketing, Promotion And Advertising, Celebrities Are More Important Than What You May See. An Observation and Insights Of What I See And Feel With The 9P’s Of Marketing. #111

I find things you can't make up. Observational. Conversational. Presentable. 

I'm starting a series of observations and insights from my travels. #111

I'm highlighting photos and headlines I see. I use these in my marketing, promotion, business and advertising presentations.

For the impact of celebrities: Think Gen Z, segmentation and targeting under "People," in the 9P's 

I was interviewed today and we talked about celebrities. Their importance.

From research I've seen nearly 60% of all celebrity-owned retail brands were founded in the last six years, with over one-third launching in 2020 or later. 

A significant recent boom in celebrity-led businesses.

I've mentioned the importance of celebrities in Super Bowl spots. When you read the cost of $8 Million or $9 Million ($300K a second) per 30-second Super Bowl spot, this doesn't include creative, celebrity and production costs. 

It was reported that Bruce Springsteen cost Jeep $20 Million and he unfortunately had an arrest and the investment didn't appear to pay off. 

Why the impact of celebrities and their increased use by agencies and clients. 

Think branding, the rise of e-commerce and appeal to younger demographics like Generation Z. While JLL did not provide a specific percentage for 2025, this trend suggests continued growth in the number of celebrity brands being launched. 

Nearly 60% of all celebrity brands were founded between 2019 and 2023.

Something set forth for the attention of mind of your targets ("People") and media audiences. I've added "culture," too. I'm adding "culture," too.

Timely. Smart. A Service That Is Needed More Than Ever. Mental Health Resources. An Observation and Insights Of What I See And Feel With The 9P’s Of Marketing. #110

I find things we should all be glad companies are implementing. Observational. Conversational. Presentable. Add Promotional for a reason. 

I've started a series of observations and insights from my travels. #110

I'm highlighting photos and headlines I see. I use these in my marketing, promotion, business and advertising presentations.

Add on services.  Adding reliable mental health resources on the platform.
Helping "People," under my 9P's, I saw it reported that YouTube will be adding mental health resources for teenagers. YouTube is launching a dedicated mental health section specifically for a specific group and target---teenagers.They will be delivering offering video suggestions that appear when teen users search for mental health topics, such as depression. ADHD, anxiety and eating disorders. 

I like Marketing. I like advertising. I like copy and selling points. I like solving Marketing problems using the nine P's of Marketing. I like teaching them. 

I use my 9P's to illustrate Marketing examples in the classroom, in court as an expert witness, in seminars and to solve Marketing problems and to find opportunities. 

My 9P's of Marketing do include include these important concepts, practices and components:

I am using the 9P's with Planning, People, Product, Price, Promotion, Place, Partners, Presentation and Passion to illustrate an unusual insight or example. To find opportunities and problems in Marketing.

  • Planning and Research. 
    • Finding copy points is part of the creative and promotional planning. 
    • Planning for marketing activities, objectives, strategies and tactics. Viewership, revenue, sales. All sales, whether in services, fashion, sports, amusement parks, hotels, resorts, autos, fast food, retail sales or tires, refreshments or cereal, as three examples. 
    • From the founder of Intuit, Scott Cook, said: " A brand is no longer what we tell the consumer it is -- (maybe from Marketing Research never was is my comment) it is what consumers (“People” in the 9P’s) tell each other it is.
  • People (Segmentation and Targeting)
    • Consumers and users, as in shoppers. Fashion consumers. Add travelers. 
    • In my 9P's, I stress that firms need to look and analyze potential, new, existing and repeat customers and users
  • Product and Services, includes video self-help ones, airports, sports teams, people and celebrities too. I teach that perfection resides in quality, not quantity.
  • Place (Distribution), includes retail and online. How about locations of airports, team stadiums, amusement parks and resorts?  
  • Price or Pricing, many contingency plans needed.  
  • Promotion
    • There are eight (8) major, strategic components or communication elements which are personal and non-personal communication activities. 
    • The activities that communicate the merits of the overall product include:
      • Personal Selling/ Sales Force: Sales persons
        • Listen more than you talk. People who listen more, learn more, plus helps you position your service/product/solution or offering.
