Marketing hubris - classic quote

'We'll tell customers what we want them to know'

This from a major company marketer.. and they wonder at the same time why they are losing market share.

*sigh*

buddhism folks ... get into it .. any way you can ..gotta love it .. think of others and do selfless acts..

...again love the power of marketing when used for good. I came around to it many years ago, i love knowing about the power of the brand and the psychology of commnications and consumption combined with user centered design

but wow this quote stopped the meeting in its tracks. Even the project sponsors were amazed

Favorite quote from "Devil wears Prada' - "They run around like they are trying to cure cancer or something" take your job seriously, don't take your self seriously.. if the Dalai Lama doesn't (saw him speak 2 weeks ago and it was awesome) why should you?
