Think marketing is evil? Only if you’re doing it right …

Hehe! I’m glad you plagiarized this from yourself, since I have never read the original! Very clever and funny.
I particularly enjoyed listening to it since I am at this very moment sitting at my desk, where I make web advertisements, creating CTA’s and taglines for clients, so they can persuade people to click and buy.
I’m pretty much okay with being evil, as it turns out.
Enjoyed this episode and couldn’t wait to come find the link for the two words.
