Скачать или смотреть #2. How to Lose Friends & Alienate People - Marketing Muckraking with Rachael Kay Albers

Brand culture, as we know it today, owes its existence to World War I propaganda. What if “brand loyalty” is authoritarianism in StoryBrand clothing?

Join me, your host, Rachael Kay Albers, marketing muckraker and brand strategist gone wild, in a deep dive into advertising history and how branding legitimized itself.

Before WWI, the advertising industry was on shaky ground, synonymous with snake oil salesmen and outrageous patent medicine claims that promised a product could cure all ails, while ultimately making its customer's problems worse.

The war rescued advertising's reputation, proving to business and world leaders just how effective mass media and propaganda could be to shape public opinion. The world has never been the same.

The goal of propaganda is to subvert an individual's reason and logic to promote a biased agenda. In the case of wartime propaganda, that agenda is national loyalty above all else. In the case of advertising propaganda, that agenda is brand loyalty above all else. But should it be?

ABOUT THE SHOW:

Welcome to Marketing Muckraking, the show that asks not simply what brand culture can do for us, but what it’s doing to us — with your host, creative director, brand strategist gone wild, and the court jester of online business, Rachael Kay Albers — making fun of business and making business fun.

This is the show for rebels, revolutionaries, and renegades who run businesses that burn the rulebook. If you’re sick of business podcasts with all the answers — I’ve got nothing but questions.

Where we swap B School for FREE SCHOOL, easy for honest, and goal digging for marketing in pursuit of meaning.
