Comments on: How Do We Make Marketing Less Sleazy? http://www.adamdistefano.com/2010/05/how-do-we-make-marketing-less-sleazy/ Thoughts on Business, Marketing & Creativity Sun, 29 Jan 2012 19:52:27 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Adam http://www.adamdistefano.com/2010/05/how-do-we-make-marketing-less-sleazy/comment-page-1/#comment-719 Adam Tue, 25 May 2010 01:10:12 +0000 http://www.adamdistefano.com/?p=178#comment-719 Thanks for the comment, Brandon. Agreed that transparency and humanity being king are a huge boon for the future of marketing, but when you say web 2.0 right now, people immediately think "Twitter" and "Facebook." If you go on Twitter all you see is "marketers" selling crap. If you go on Facebook... well... you see everything. Doesn't particularly make me feel good about telling the uninitiated that this is where the field is going... I guess long-term there's hope. Right now, though, not sure it's enough. Thanks for the comment, Brandon.

I think the Internet and more so web 2.0 has been the best thing that has happened to the world of marketing. With authenticity, value, and transparency being "king", I think the future looks bright for authentic marketers, lawyers and car-salesman alike. The other day I saw a sleazy informercial at a friends house (I don't do tv) and it made me want to write a post like this. Thanks for this Adam.
