Podcast: Why all the warfare in marketing?

Podcast: Why all the warfare in marketing?

Terms in marketing have a war-like connotation and there are reasons for that:

History

  • Pre-rennaissance (Dark Ages)
  • Merchant class
  • Perceived competition from aristocracy
  • Charters were set up for corporations
  • Marriage between kings and corporations began a conquest that has not ended

Terms

  • Targets (extracts value from the people)
  • Forces (sales)
  • Revolutions (astroturfing)
  • Capture (attention)
  • Competition (closed source)

Business is better achieved not by warfare but by diplomatic tactics.
