Jesus, gentleman I could be serious, anal even (if one were to go to an extreme) but my posts, even if they may be incoherent as of late, there is a distinct flavour of sarcasm in them, in case you have not noticed.

omg i hate dxp double posts wtf.
anyway here is a great ones and no they are not trying to be fake they actually meant it as their values
coca cola
in this commercial the company brings attention to real relationships between a horse owner and his clysdale which the company uses as it's hertiage and symbol.
you think this is fake bullshit? maybe to some ceo who just came form harvard but not to the family owned part of the shareholders.
this is what i mean.

Ok, from now on there shall be permanent disclaimers in my posts to clarify the mood and tone, the general scope in which it normally takes upon and not detailed case studies which I could go into but not necessitated.
Sense of humour, still alive here at home? I suppose mine had flown out the window but since having found it again, but where is the rest, hmm...?
*shakes my head*
TLS - dear, its ok to say something that may not be perceived in a positive light. It is not natural anyways, nobody is always positive...We all have our moments here 😄click to expand

Factually it may ring truth but is the intent purely sincere, no, there is a goal behind providing such marketing, it is to evoke specific emotions, feelings and desire within the targeted audience. In doing so, to get them to prefer Coca-cola over any other particular brand and soda. At the end of the day it is working into the audience's subconsciousness to get them to instinctually feel good upon viewing this brand at a fridge in a grocers, so they may choose to buy this and not another. Is that not manipulation? It is.click to expand

How many of us routinely do things that would make us feel more comfortable to be in a relationship? I used to be definitely intent on the spiritual connection. Yet I'm not sure how many routines I actually give time to in my everyday life to make sure I am still spiritually connection with someone.
As I get older I will probably want more out of life and to spend my time in different domains. So I'm wondering if I dedicate enough time towards being accessible. How I was a year ago is already different to how I am now. Or perceived anyway. And I can imagine that being true for the next few years. It will be interesting to see if any of my relationships, friendships etc survive this change.

Sure there is.
Ultimately when it comes to marketing, its about creating more return for every dollar spent. Regardless of whether its emotion, humor, or just plain bullshit, that is still your end goal for having marketing.
When I have a product I want to release to consumers, your profit will come from how many of PRODUCT-A you sell but marketing is what maximizes said profit.
For every X amount of dollars I spend on marketing, I'm expecting Y amount of dollars back from PRODUCT-A selling.

Tiz, can you be specific as to where you changed? And what helped you make that change? is it what you read, heard, experienced?
I personally I feel like I haven't changed at all, but I gained some knew interesting knowledge 🙂
I think mostly it had to do with getting to grips with things events that happened a few years back. Like deaths in the family, changes in living situation and travelling.
All those things may have happened at the time, but the time after that was all spend in me understanding what they mean for me. How to make them work for me.
For example, I'm pretty terrible at being responsible with money. When I was younger, my family pretty much bankrolled everything I did personally and professionally. The last three years has been about me accounting for every pound I put in to get two pounds out. In general with numbers I am pretty terrible. You work in finance. They would never hire me in an industry like that lol
But I can sense when I get proficient with numbers and money to a certain level, my habits are going to change. I am going to want to do more fun stuff. Not just hang around in the house and be spiritual. Or dedicate my life to my job. I'm going to need to do activities that I not only like doing, but want to share with another person. If that makes sense. That's just my gut feeling.click to expand

What you have shared is precisely my point VH, marketing is marketing.
There is no need to make up feel-good reasons as to why it works the way it is. It is an industry which thrives because frankly we all need money to continue financing the production of such products.click to expand


Posted by GreyPosted by TheLadyScorpio
Do not get me wrong, I adore marketing and the industry as a whole but my point of view is sarcastic if not ironic at times - marketing, itself requires no sugar-coating. Why does one have to make a happy, non-confrontational, blissful attempt as to say we are doing so and so, to gather loyal etc. loyalty is another word of getting an individual hooked, at times addicted at worst a cult following. That is the goal, to have people forever associating themselves, their choices towards a particular label when one is in search of a soda (in the case of Coca-cola), and the definitive goal, to make money.
Yes this - $ $ $ $ $ $
Context, the whole good cause, family back story are simply tools to pull more people into this vortex, at the end of the day, it is all an art form or scheme depending upon how one looks at it to pry or gain money from the general public's pockets. Is this a malicious thing, no? Though it does exploit human thought processes and wiring as it were. Besides you truly think an ad does not have an impact strong enough on the conscious mind? That is the sole existence upon which marketing rests upon, impact and resulting effects which carries on afterwards, planting a seed in the target audience's minds, allowing them to nurture it as they pass by every billboard, tv advertisement, fridge in the grocers, they want them to link their product to a -feel-good emotion, to the point where the rewiring in their minds think they need this brand and no other, as they would not be comparable.
Manipulation does not need to be positive or negative but it is still what it is in such a case and I am not saying otherwise, if whomever decides to read my posts as negative, by all means very well do. My content exists as they are.
nice! thanks for agreeing with me 🙂click to expand

(Reposting response the website ate it)
From the development/creation standpoint (Compared to the consumers)? Absolutely there is.
You need to convince me to spend dollars on a marketing budget.
You need to convince me why your marketing plan of my product is going to give me more return for my dollar.
Tell me why your strategy is going to make my product outsell my competitors.
All of this has direct correlation on the "why".

Alright since my choice of words as of late seemingly carries itself across rather strongly to some, then shall we put it this way, is it 100% real and true?
