Actually it may have been correct for Advertising Age to label OBAMA Marketer Of The Year.
He was branded like Pepsi-Co or the Campbell’s soup can.
His name was redacted from Barack Hussein Obama or even Barack Obama or even BHObama to OBAMA.
He had marxist street wheatpaster Shepherd Fairey design his HOPE CHANGE posters that were posted in the middle of the night on public surfaces and then later sold around the world to financial contributors and eventually sold on hats, shirts, etc.
He marketed himself in Germany and elsewhere even though only Americans can vote. He solicited the support of marketers who would not talk of past scandals or hidden agendas.
As MARKETING goes, he’s been a success, as a politician he’s been an absolute socialist thug.
Those are interesting details and it clearly points out just what marketing is. And exactly why I no longer wish to be part of that domain!
