Good Marketing
Marketing is sometimes perceived as deceitful or manipulative, with a goal to make us buying things that we don’t really need or at unfairly high prices.  It may also be viewed in an oversimplified manner, as “common sense” and “creative thinking”, limited to promotional activities and advertisement. On this site I will focus on positive aspects of marketing - changing the world for the better, establishing new trends, providing great customer service, engaging and creating shared value, corporate social responsibility and sustainability. I will also tell you how successful marketing strategies are rooted in understanding human psychology.
