When products succeed, we forget the extent to which marketing was actually instrumental or decisive in their success.

當產品取得成功時，我們會忘記市場營銷在多大程度上對產品的成功起到了推動或決定性的作用。

He once said, if you can imagine a stand-up comedian doing a routine about your product, then you're onto something.

他曾經說過，如果你能想象一個脫口秀喜劇演員為你的產品表演一段脫口秀，那麼你就成功了。

You need to preserve slightly odd things.

你需要保存一些稍微奇怪的東西。

Rolls Royces were the only cars which still had a pedal on the floor.

勞斯萊斯是唯一在地板上還有踏板的汽車。

Famously, Verve Plico, it's the one with the yellow label.

著名的 Verve Plico，就是貼著黃色標籤的那款。

Idiosyncrasies kind of count double.

這種怪癖也算雙倍。

Do you have any advice for early stage founders to help build their brand?

您對處於早期階段的創始人有什麼幫助他們建立品牌的建議嗎？

Be consistent, be distinctive and be famous.

始終如一，與眾不同，聲名遠播。

When you are not famous, you have to find all your customers.

當你不出名時，你必須找到所有的客戶。

Suddenly, you reach this magical sort of escape velocity of fame where people start coming to you.

突然間，你達到了一種神奇的成名逃逸速度，人們開始向你走來。

Today, my guest is Rory Sutherland.

今天，我的嘉賓是羅裡-薩瑟蘭。

Rory is vice chairman of Ogilvy UK, author of the book Alchemy, the Dark Art and Curious Science, creating magic in brands, business and life, and the founder of Nudge Talk, the world's biggest festival of behavioral science and creativity.

羅裡是英國奧美公司副董事長，著有《鍊金術、黑暗藝術和奇妙科學》一書，書中講述瞭如何在品牌、商業和生活中創造奇蹟，他還是世界上最大的行為科學和創意節--"Nudge Talk "的創始人。

Rory is both an example and a huge proponent of thinking from first principles.

羅裡既是從第一原則出發思考問題的典範，也是第一原則的忠實擁護者。

Through his speaking and his books, he encourages people to not think logically when solving problems, but to think psychologically, using human psychology to inform how you design and build and market your products.

通過演講和著作，他鼓勵人們在解決問題時不要用邏輯思維，而要用心理思維，用人類心理學來指導你如何設計、製造和營銷產品。

Rory is full of amazing stories and ideas and examples and inspiration, which you'll get a sense of as soon as we start talking.

羅裡充滿了令人驚歎的故事、想法、範例和靈感，我們一開始交談，你就會感受到這一點。

I don't even ask him a question and he's already off to the races.

我甚至還沒問他問題，他就已經開始比賽了。

This episode is for anyone who wants to think more creatively, help their team be more innovative and learn how to create more magic in your world.

本期節目適合那些希望更有創造力地思考問題、幫助自己的團隊更具創新性以及學習如何在自己的世界裡創造更多奇蹟的人。

Rory has been one of the most requested guests on this podcast and I can now see why.

羅裡一直是播客中最受歡迎的嘉賓之一，現在我明白為什麼了。

這是避免錯過未來劇集的最佳方法，也對播客有極大的幫助。

With that, I bring you Rory Sutherland.

有請羅裡-薩瑟蘭。

Rory, thank you so much for being here and welcome to the podcast.

羅裡，非常感謝你的到來，歡迎收聽播客。

It's a pleasure. It's an audience that I don't normally speak to.

這是我的榮幸。這是我通常不會面對的觀眾。

And so it's an audience which I think is particularly valuable, particularly important, but also actually probably could benefit quite a bit from just a little bit of extra psychology.

是以，我認為這是一個特別有價值、特別重要的閱聽人群體，但實際上，他們也可能從一點點額外的心理學知識中獲益良多。

Not least, not least, by the way, a very simple observation, which is that do not think that good products automatically succeed or the bad ones necessarily fail.

順便提一下，還有一個非常簡單的看法，那就是不要認為好的產品就一定會成功，壞的產品就一定會失敗。

The other thing I'd say is that timing is so important that don't necessarily reject things simply because they failed in the past.

我想說的另一件事是，時機非常重要，不要因為過去失敗過就拒絕接受。

One of the best products I've ever worked on in a professional capacity was Facebook Meta TV, the TV portal, sorry, Facebook, the Meta TV by Facebook.

Facebook Meta TV 是我從事過的最好的專業產品之一，它是一個電視門戶網站，對不起，是 Facebook，Facebook 的 Meta TV。

And I bought it for about $120. It plugs into your TV.

我花了大約 120 美元買的。它可以插入電視機。

It allows you to do obviously WhatsApp or Facebook or indeed Zoom on your television with a fantastic face tracking camera.

它可以讓你通過一個神奇的面部跟蹤攝像頭，在電視上進行明顯的 WhatsApp 或 Facebook 或 Zoom 操作。

I mean, it really is sort of $500 worth of equipment, which they were selling for about $120.

我的意思是，這確實是價值 500 美元的設備，而他們的售價約為 120 美元。

One of the best things I've ever owned. I owned about four of them.

這是我擁有過的最好的東西之一。我擁有過四臺。

When I heard it was being discontinued, I bought another one because I think they're so good.

當我聽說它要停產時，我又買了一個，因為我覺得它們非常好。

And yet for reasons I fully don't, you know, I don't really understand.

然而，出於我完全不明白的原因，你知道，我真的不明白。

Apart from the fact that every single review said this is brilliant, there's a product.

除了每篇評論都說它很棒之外，還有一個產品。

But the first seven paragraphs of the article weren't saying this is brilliant.

但文章的前七段並沒有說這很精彩。

They were saying who would allow Facebook to put a camera in their home.

他們說，誰會允許 Facebook 在自己家裡安裝攝像頭。

And so there were basically, you know, it was nine paragraphs of privacy paranoia because you can't turn the thing off after all.

所以，基本上，你知道，這是九段隱私妄想症，因為你終究不能把它關掉。

You don't have to leave it switched off. OK, you know, there were but there were nine paragraphs of privacy paranoia basically followed by one paragraph saying as this these kind of products go, it's brilliant.

你不必把它關掉。好吧，你知道，這裡面有九個段落都是對隱私的偏執，後面還有一個段落說，就這類產品而言，它很出色。

And yet we still don't have video calling on TV unless you're willing to plug your laptop in or do something pretty fancy and complex.

然而，我們仍然無法在電視上進行視頻通話，除非你願意把筆記本電腦插在電視上，或者做一些相當花哨和複雜的事情。

That seems really weird to me.

這在我看來真的很奇怪。

Let me actually read a quote from you around what good marketing often looks like.

其實，讓我來讀讀你的一段話，看看好的營銷通常是什麼樣的。

So you once said, if you can imagine a stand-up comedian doing a routine about your product, then you're onto something.

你曾經說過，如果你能想象一個脫口秀喜劇演員為你的產品表演一段脫口秀，那你就成功了。

The urge to appear serious is in many ways a disaster in marketing.

在許多方面，追求嚴肅是營銷的災難。

I'd love to hear your thoughts on that.

我很想聽聽你的看法。

這就是 C-Y-C-L-E 點應用程序斜槓萊尼。

I had a conversation earlier today with someone who's in the hotel industry and is in a particular, without giving away where he works, he's looking to reinvent the hotel, arguing, I think with some reason, that it's one of those areas which is actually ripe for a good degree of disruption.

今天早些時候，我與一位從事酒店業的人進行了一次談話，他正在尋求重塑酒店業，我想這是有一定道理的，他認為酒店業是一個已經成熟的領域，可以進行一定程度的顛覆。

So it's a complicated thing. Don't be too weird, OK?

所以這是件複雜的事別太奇怪了，好嗎？

Don't, you know, don't don't be too strange, because if the consumer, there's a wonderful concept from Raymond Lerby, of course, the French designer, called maximally advanced yet acceptable.

不要，你知道，不要太奇怪，因為如果消費者，當然是法國設計師雷蒙德-勒比提出了一個美妙的概念，叫做 "最大限度的先進性和可接受性"。

In other words, you know, there is a pace of change which consumers will accept.

換句話說，消費者會接受一定的變化速度。

And generally, they're more comfortable with evolution than they are with complete reinvention.

一般來說，他們更樂於接受進化，而不是徹底的革新。

There are exceptions to that. Well, actually, even the iPhone, let's face it, OK, was preceded by the iPod.

但也有例外。事實上，即使是 iPhone，面對現實吧，它的前身也是 iPod。

It wasn't a complete WTF moment, OK? And consumers effectively like to migrate their behaviour rather than reinventing their behaviour.

這並不是一個完全的 "WTF時刻"，好嗎？消費者實際上喜歡遷移他們的行為，而不是重新發明他們的行為。

But nonetheless, one of the things I always point out is that idiosyncrasies kind of count double.

但儘管如此，我一直指出的一點是，特立獨行是雙倍的。

The wonderful thing, actually, years ago, back in the 1990s, Ogilvy won the Jaguar account.

事實上，多年前，也就是 20 世紀 90 年代，奧美贏得了捷豹的客戶，這是一件非常美妙的事情。

And one of the things the creative director in New York said is that, you know, one of the things you need to preserve is slightly odd things.

紐約的創意總監說過，你知道，你需要保留的東西之一就是那些略顯古怪的東西。

So in a Jaguar of the 1990s, you turned on the light above your head, the reading light or the central light with a switch that was actually on the central console.

是以，在 20 世紀 90 年代的捷豹汽車上，你可以用中央控制檯上的開關打開頭頂的燈、閱讀燈或中央照明燈。

Every other car, you reached up and you flick the switch.

每隔一輛車，你都要伸手按下開關。

In the Jaguar, you press the button at the bottom and the light came on the top.

在捷豹汽車中，按下底部的按鈕，頂部就會亮燈。

And the creative director said, you know, keep those things.

創意總監說，你知道，這些東西就留著吧。

You know, actually, you know, distinctiveness really matters.

實際上，與眾不同真的很重要。

And they were actually really interested because they said, oh, that's interesting you say that because we're actually planning to get rid of it because we thought it was inconsistent.

事實上，他們真的很感興趣，因為他們說："哦，你這麼說很有意思，因為我們實際上正打算把它去掉，因為我們認為它不一致。

For years, I don't know if this is still true because I don't drive many Rolls Royces.

多年來，我不知道這是否仍然正確，因為我開的勞斯萊斯並不多。

But for years, Rolls Royce was the last car. Now, obviously, now cars dip their headlamps automatically or you have an automatic setting.

但多年來，勞斯萊斯是最後一輛車。很明顯，現在的汽車都會自動調整大燈的亮度，或者進行自動設置。

But for years, Rolls Royces were the only cars which still had a pedal on the floor.

但多年來，勞斯萊斯是唯一仍在地板上設有踏板的汽車。

Perfect for an automatic, not so good for a manual.

非常適合自動擋車型，但對於手動擋車型就不那麼合適了。

But they had a pedal on the floor where you dipped and undipped your headlamps rather than having a stalk.

但它們在地板上有一個踏板，你可以在踏板上打開或關閉大燈，而不是有一個燈杆。

And those things, which I always cite things like the the Doubletree cookie when you check in, for example.

而這些東西，我總是舉例說明，比如在辦理入住手續時的雙樹曲奇餅乾（Doubletree cookie）。

I mean, a brilliant example of this, which when you think about it was extraordinary in terms of the attention it garnered.

我的意思是，這就是一個很好的例子，仔細想想，它引起的關注非同一般。

You probably remember MCI, the American. No, you're too young.

你可能還記得美國的 MCI 公司。不，你太年輕了。

I do. Of course, MCI. You do. OK.

是的。當然，MCI。你會的好吧

They have the concept of friends and family where you nominated a certain number of calls, a certain number of numbers that you called particularly frequently.

他們有親朋好友的概念，你提名了一定數量的電話，一定數量的你經常撥打的號碼。

And you got sort of 20 percent off calls to those numbers.

這些號碼的來電可享受 20% 的折扣。

I started off with 10 and I think they eventually ramped it up to kind of 25.

一開始是 10 個，我想他們最後增加到了 25 個。

But actually, most people, 90 percent. It's a poetic principle.

但實際上，大多數人都是 90%。這是一個詩意的原則。

Most people make 80 percent of their calls to probably five or six numbers.

大多數人 80% 的電話都是打給五六個號碼。

Now, what was interesting about that was it garnered. It was in a sense, irrational.

現在，有趣的是，它獲得了。從某種意義上說，這是不理性的。

OK, but it garnered much more interest than if you simply reduce the cost of calls by 15, 20 percent across the board because you have to stimulate, you know, stipulate your numbers and because you have, you know, actually things that are slightly weird, things that have a little bit of extra friction, things that are slightly counterintuitive.

好吧，但這比你簡單地將通話費用全面降低 15%、20%更能引起人們的興趣，因為你必須刺激，你知道，規定你的數字，而且因為你有，你知道，實際上有些事情有點奇怪，有些事情有一點額外的摩擦，有些事情有點違反直覺。

Sometimes the right thing to do is to get rid of them. Sometimes you kind of celebrate them.

有時，正確的做法是擺脫它們。有時，你會為它們喝彩。

And that's what I mean about the comedian. The comedian notices things that are slightly weird, notices things.

這就是我說的喜劇演員。喜劇演員會注意到一些略顯怪異的事情，注意到一些事情。

And actually, there was a great comedy routine when friends and family came to the UK.

實際上，當親朋好友來到英國時，還上演了一出精彩的喜劇。

It was introduced from MSCI by a marketer called Ed Carter to BT in the UK.

它是由一位名叫埃德-卡特（Ed Carter）的營銷人員從 MSCI 引入英國電信公司的。

There were whole comedy routines about it. You know, people go, you know, I suddenly realised, you know,

有很多關於它的喜劇表演。人們會說 我突然意識到

I couldn't think of the ninth number, you know, or it's basically my mum and nine adult lines.

我想不出第九個數字，你知道，基本上就是我媽媽和九個大人的臺詞。

This was the kind of thing. But those kind of things which actually slightly there are slight little splinter on the attention.

就是這種事情。但這種事情其實稍微有一點小插曲就會引起注意。

In other words, it's something that slightly raises up from the normal shape or it's the step that isn't quite the riser.

換句話說，它是在正常形狀的基礎上略微升高的東西，或者說它是不完全升高的臺階。

If you go down a flight of steps and one step is slightly, you know, the sender is slightly out of whack.

如果你走下一段臺階，其中一個臺階稍有偏差，你知道，發送器就會稍有偏差。

Those things have a place, actually. I mean, famously, Verve Clicquot, the French champagne house, their labels ended up yellow by mistake.

其實，這些東西也有用武之地。我的意思是，著名的法國香檳酒廠 Verve Clicquot，他們的酒標就被誤貼成了黃色。

I think there was some printing error and they thought, OK, we have these stupid yellow labels.

我認為是印刷錯誤，他們認為，好吧，我們有這些愚蠢的黃色標籤。

We will send them to Le Roast Beef in England. We do not want to sell them in France.

我們將把它們送到英國的 Le Roast Beef 公司。我們不想在法國銷售。

And then the Brits said, OK, by the way, that champagne, can you send us more of the champagne with the yellow label?

然後英國人說，好吧，順便說一下，那瓶香檳，你能不能再給我們寄點帶黃色標籤的香檳？

It's going down really well. And they said, OK, we're going to make it really yellow now.

效果非常好他們說，好吧，我們現在要把它做成黃色。

Just, you know, almost as a kind of wind up, I think. OK.

只是，你知道，幾乎 作為一種發條，我想。好吧

But of course, if you think about it, the entire identity of that champagne, you know, you can't remember the number.

當然，如果你仔細想想，香檳的整個身份，你知道，你記不住號碼。

It's the name. It's the one with the yellow label. OK.

就是這個名字。就是貼著黃色標籤的那個好的

You know, and so visual distinctiveness and other forms of what you might call UX distinctiveness, as I said, don't go crazy weird.

你知道，是以視覺獨特性和其他你可能稱之為用戶體驗獨特性的形式，正如我所說，不要變得瘋狂怪異。

But there's this concept of Maya, which is maximally advanced yet acceptable.

但瑪雅的概念是，它是最先進的，但又是可以接受的。

There's a wonderful phrase which I'll share with you, which was there's an English guy who went over from the BBC for BBC four, which is like it's like the PBS of PBS.

有一句話說得很好，我想和大家分享一下，那就是有一個英國人從 BBC 轉到了 BBC 4，這就像是 PBS 中的 PBS。

In fact, it's the really niche, niche kind of, you know, educational kind of, you know, hardcore factual British TV channel.

事實上，這是一個非常小眾的英國教育電視頻道。

And he went to buy to see if there are any programmes to buy from the Danish state broadcaster.

他去購買丹麥國家廣播公司的節目。

And he ended up buying a series called The Killing. He bought the first season of The Killing, went for it for twenty four thousand pounds.

最後他買下了一部叫《殺戮》的劇集。他買下了《殺戮》的第一季，花了兩萬四千英鎊。

He paid to run The Killing, which had aired on Danish television about a year and a half earlier and been quite successful in Denmark, but nowhere else.

一年半前，丹麥電視臺播出了《殺戮》，該劇在丹麥取得了相當大的成功，但在其他地方並不成功。

And he paid twenty four thousand pounds, thirty thousand dollars and aired it on BBC four.

他支付了兩萬四千英鎊（約合三萬美元），並在 BBC 四頻道播出。

And then it became hugely popular. Then it migrated to BBC two.

然後它大受歡迎。然後轉到了英國廣播公司二臺

And then Netflix came along and bought the rights to the series. You'll probably remember this.

然後 Netflix 出現了，買下了該系列的版權。你可能還記得這個。

So actually, the Danish state broadcaster ended up, he said, there should be a statue of me outside this Danish broadcaster because I ended up making them tens of millions of pounds by both selling the rights to The Killing, the original series, and also by Netflix buying the rights to the basic storyline.

他說，丹麥國家廣播公司最後應該在外面給我立一座雕像，因為我賣掉了《殺戮》（The Killing）的原版版權，又讓 Netflix 買下了基本故事情節的版權，最終為他們賺了幾千萬英鎊。

I said, well, why did you do that? I said, what made you buy it? And he said, great phrase.

我說，那你為什麼要這麼做？我說，你為什麼要買它？他說，很好的一句話。

He said, well, he said, if you're British, true also if you're American, by the way, if you're British, the great thing about Scandinavians is they're just the right amount of weird.

他說，好吧，他說，如果你是英國人，如果你是美國人，順便說一句，如果你是英國人，斯堪的納維亞人最大的特點就是他們的怪異程度恰到好處。

Right. So if you think about it, if you have to watch something set in Denmark and you live in San Francisco, it's not like watching something set in Korea or Somalia.

是啊所以，如果你仔細想想，如果你必須看一些以丹麥為背景的電影，而你住在舊金山，那就不像看一些以韓國或索馬里為背景的電影了。

You're not sitting there going, what the hell is going on here? Why is this man doing this? Basically, they're a bit like us. They're enough like us that we basically figure out what's going on.

你不會坐在那裡想，這到底是怎麼回事？這個人為什麼要這麼做？基本上，他們有點像我們。他們和我們很像，所以我們基本上能搞清楚發生了什麼。

But they're weird enough to make it just that little bit more interesting. And I think, you know, I think that's part of the reason for the popularity of Scandi noir and Scandi crime is they're the right amount of weird.

但它們足夠詭異，讓故事更有趣一些。我認為，這也是斯堪的納維亞黑色電影和斯堪的納維亞犯罪電影受歡迎的部分原因，因為它們的怪異程度恰到好處。

And I think I think that's true of product design. I think with Raymond Loewe, I think the thing was he made a fan. If I've got the story right, he made a fad that was insanely quiet.

我認為產品設計也是如此。我認為雷蒙德-羅威（Raymond Loewe）設計的產品是風扇。如果我沒記錯的話，他創造了一種安靜得令人發瘋的時尚。

And people didn't believe it worked because it was just too quiet. And years later, I remember that story because there was a guy who had this extraordinary kind of machine learning and AI device that was being used by engineers.

人們不相信它能成功，因為它太安靜了。多年以後，我還記得那個故事，因為有一個人擁有這種非凡的機器學習和人工智能設備，被工程師們使用。

And he was producing a I think it was an electric toothbrush. What might have been a razor was other men's razor with an electric motor, which was that they could somehow make it insanely quiet by using some weird machine learning algorithm about what caused the noise.

他生產的應該是電動牙刷。他生產的可能是刮鬚刀，也可能是其他帶電動馬達的男士刮鬚刀，他們可以通過一些奇怪的機器學習算法，知道是什麼造成了噪音，從而讓刮鬚刀變得異常安靜。

I said to him, look, be a bit careful because it's probably a good idea to make a razor a bit quieter. But if you make it too quiet, we genuinely won't believe it's working. Actually, it's the crackly noise that when you rub it over your face, and it's the buzz of the thing and the vibration of the thing that actually convinces us it's doing a job.
