There’s a lot of problems with advertising on Google, YouTube, Instagram etc.
And it Incentivises these big tech companies to collect all your data and spy on you etc.
But where should advertisers advertise?
Let’s say everyone switches to Paid for Search, Paid for Email, stops using social media etc.
Where would advertising swith to?
If someone starts a small business from home selling pillows, how do they reach customers?
Reputation and word of mouth. Fire the marketers and use that money to make a better product. Stop wasting everyone’s time. Spend time making stuff available through distribution channels. Ads waste everyone’s time and money. When I see any ad, it tells me your competitor is likely a better quality product I should seek out. No one has a right to waste my time.
The boring truth is that marketing works, so if we can’t like upgrade our monkey brains it’s not going away anytime soon IMO.
That sounds like something a marketer would say. GET ‘EM, BOYS!! brought to you by Pepperidge Farm. Pepperidge Farm: Remember when we did the “remember when” thing? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
