Are you an enlightened stupid marketer?

Kevin Nalty aka Nalts explains the difference between stupid marketers and enlightened stupid marketers. In this video, Nalts explains "A non-marketer might be looking at this and saying, 'Stupid Marketer...isn't that an oxymoron."

"I say no, enlightened stupid marketers are at a fork in the road. Keep being stupid or be stupid but conceal that fact. I have several proven strategies for this."

Check out the strategies in his video.


Note: long time readers of this blog will remember Nalts from our post about his "blogger buzz" video back in 2007.

lolol at all the places he strategises. This was funny.. I really thought I was going to learn something here but I see this wasn't so. In retrospect I am a stupid enlightened marketer. But I will admit I don't have a blackberry... But, I do have blackberry's in my back yard and made blackberry jam does that count? Thanks for the laugh

LOL I wish they would sell just the covers haha! That was hilarious, thanks.

The covers line was great. The last line was pretty good, too.

And for the record, this was not meant as a parody of my former employer but of the nonsense of my profession (marketing) in general. :)

I was laughing so hard, I was crying. Well done!

I not only sent this one to folks at my current company I sent it to those at my previous company. Nice one!

I wish there was a third category. I don't want to be considered a plain ol' stupid marketer just because I don't own a blackberry. Was there a ruling on the blackberry jam question? What if I took the jam to a matinee?

Great video, very cute. Sadly it can be all too true. The best humor always has some of that.
