1
To me, marketing is about values.
2
This is a very complicated world.
3
It's a very noisy world.
4
And we're not going to get a chance to get people to remember much about us.
5
No company is.
6
And so we have to be really clear on what we want them to know about us.
7
Now, Apple, fortunately, is one of the half a dozen best brands in the whole world,
8
right up there with Nike, Disney, Coke, Sony.
9
It is one of the greats of the greats,
10
not just in this country,
11
but all around the globe.
12
And, but even a great brand needs investment and caring if it's going to retain its relevance and vitality.
13
The Apple brand has clearly suffered from neglect in this area in the last few years.
14
And we need to bring it back.
15
The way to do that is not to talk about speeds and feeds.
16
It's not to talk about nips and megahertz.
17
It's not to talk about why we're better than windows.
18
The dairy industry tried for 20 years to convince you that milk was good for you.
19
It's a lie, but they tried anyway.
20
And the sales were going like this.
21
And then they tried Got Milk,
22
and the sales are going like this.
23
Got Milk doesn't even talk about the product.
24
Matter of fact, it focuses on the absence of the product.
25
But the best example of all,
26
and one of the greatest jobs of marketing in the universe has ever seen is Nike.
27
Remember, Nike sells a commodity.
28
They sell shoes.
29
And yet, when you think of Nike,
30
you feel something different than a shoe company.
31
In their ads, as you know,
32
they don't ever talk about the product.
33
They don't ever tell you about their air soles and why they're better than Reebok's air soles.
34
What does Nike do in their advertising?
35
They honor great athletes, and they honor great athletics.
36
that's who they are that's what they are about
37
Apple spends a fortune on advertising you'd never know it you'd never know it
38
so when I got here we Apple just fired their agency we're doing a competition with 23 agencies
39
that you know four years from now we picked one and we blew that up and we we hired Shite Day,
40
the ad agency that I was fortunate enough to work with years ago.
41
We created some award-winning work including the commercial voted the best ad ever made 1984
42
by advertising professionals and we started working about eight weeks ago
43
and what we the question we asked was our customers want to know who is Apple
44
and what is it that we stand for?
45
Where do we fit in this world?
46
And what we're about isn't making boxes for people to get their jobs done,
47
although we do that well.
48
We do that better than almost anybody in some cases.
49
But Apple's about something more than that.
50
Apple at the core, its core value,
51
is that we believe that people with passion can change the world for the better.
52
That's what we believe.
53
And we've had the opportunity to work with people like that.
54
We've had an opportunity to work with people like you,
55
with software developers, with customers who have done it in some big and some small ways.
56
And we believe that in this world.
57
People can change it for the better.
58
and that those people that are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones that actually do.
59
And so what we're going to do in our first brand marketing campaign in several years
60
is to get back to that core value.
61
A lot of things have changed.
62
The market's a totally different place than it was a decade ago.
63
And Apple's totally different, and Apple's place in it is totally different.
64
And believe me, the products and the distribution strategy and the manufacturing are totally different,
65
and we understand that.
66
But values and core values, those things shouldn't change.
67
The things that Apple believed in at its core are the same things that Apple really stands for today.
68
And so we wanted to find a way to communicate this.
69
And what we have is something that I am very moved by.
70
It honors those people who have changed the world.
71
Some of them are living,
72
some of them are not.
73
But the ones that aren't,
74
as you'll see, you know that if they'd ever used a computer,
75
it would have been a Mac.
76
And the theme of the campaign is think different.
77
is the people, honoring the people who think different and who move this world forward.
78
And it is what we are about.
79
It touches the soul of this company.
80
So I'm going to go ahead and roll it,
81
and I hope that you feel the same way about it I do.
82
Here's to the crazy ones.
83
The misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers,
84
the round pegs in the square holes,
85
the ones who see things differently.
86
They're not fond of rules,
87
and they have no respect for the status quo.
88
You can quote them, disagree with them,
89
glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them.
90
because they change things.
91
They push the human race forward.
92
And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.
93
Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.

Consigli per la pratica

Quando pratichi con il video, cerca di ascoltare attentamente il ritmo e il tono della voce di Steve Jobs. La sua pronuncia è chiara e incisiva, quindi è utile ripetere ciò che dice immediatamente dopo che lo ha detto. Questo metodo, noto come shadowing in inglese, ti permette di catturare non solo le parole ma anche le intonazioni e le emozioni che aggiungono profondità alla comunicazione. Inizia a una velocità più lenta e aumenta man mano che ti senti più sicuro. Puoi anche utilizzare strumenti di modifica della velocità per facilitare questo processo. Segui le pause naturali e cerca di imitare il suo stile di espressione. L'obiettivo è quello di sentirti a tuo agio nel parlare e nella costruzione di frasi in inglese, migliorando le tue abilità di comunicazione e aumentando la tua confidenza.

Questa lezione non è solo un'opportunità per imparare l'inglese con YouTube, ma anche per capire come le narrazioni influenzano il marketing e le percezioni del pubblico. Pratica regolarmente e sfrutta i shadowing site disponibili per trovare contenuti simili che stimolino il tuo interesse e arricchiscano il tuo vocabolario.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
