    13 Comments on Bad Meetings
    Bad meetings are a cultural malady that senior executives pass on to new employees.Long pointless meetings are useful in that they keep incompetent people from interfering with those who are working.
    A famous marketing has been quoted as saying all marketers are liars. I certainly won't argue with that principle. Marketing is often about who can BS the best. But I also think it’s true that all marketers are thieves.

    Several months ago Chevy started an "Employee Discount" marketing campaign where us average Joes can get a car for the same price as Chevy employees. Guess what, it worked!

    Every great while someone comes up with a stellar marketing idea. It isn't long before that idea is copied, rinsed, washed, and repeated over and over gain.

    If it’s good, they will copy.

    Of course, the more popular a marketing campaign is and the better it works, the harder it will be to steal it without looking like a thief.

The idea here is to not get caught copying the obvious.

    Look around, there are plenty of good marketing ideas all around. I didn't go to Burger King looking for a marketing idea, but because my eyes were open, I found one, and stole it. What have you stolen lately?
