爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
While Bok did not solve the problem of bill-board advertising, and while in some parts of the country it is a more flagrant nuisance to-day than ever before, he had started the first serious agitation against bill-board advertising of bad design, detrimental, from its location, to landscape beauty. He succeeded in getting rid of a huge bill-board which had been placed at the most picturesque spot at Niagara Falls; and hearing of "the largest advertisement sign in the world" to be placed on the rim of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, he notified the advertisers that a photograph of the sign, if it was erected, would be immediately published in the magazine and the attention of the women of America called to the defacement of one of the most impressive and beautiful scenes in the world. The article to be advertised was a household commodity, purchased by women; and the owners realized that the proposed advertisement would not be to the benefit of their product. The sign was abandoned.

白话
博克没有彻底解决广告牌问题,有些地方今天更严重,但他发起了第一场严肃的抵制:反对设计恶劣、位置破坏风景的广告。他成功拆掉了尼亚加拉瀑布最佳观景点上的巨幅广告;听说科罗拉多大峡谷边缘要立“世界最大广告牌”,他警告广告主:一旦立起,就拍照登报,让全美女性知道她们买的家用商品毁了世界级美景。广告主怕得罪女性消费者,放弃了。核心是:找到对方真正在乎的受众,用声誉压力逼退。
上下文
博克利用杂志影响力,针对具体地标广告采取行动,广告主多为面向女性的家用品牌。
今日一问
面对你反对的某件事,能否找到对方最在乎的受众,用声誉而非对抗来施压?
