SYNOPSIS
This episode goes off the rails from the beginning! Seth Lejeune,
of Ask Seth Anything, draws a connection between politics and
marketing setting off one of the Marketing RV with Ranalli & Volpe
hosts (guess which) and priming the other to agitate further (guess
which).
All the yackers in this episode agree that marketing political thought is big business, which is an undeniable fact in this current political cycle that will see billions of ad dollars spent on both sides of the aisle. Where our guest and a host differ slightly is the ability of campaign spending to persuade constituents at large in this day and age.
The conversation may make you slightly uncomfortable but is in no way meant to persuade, proselytize, or provoke. It’s just business—the business of marketing. Suffice it to say all sorts of media outlets will be the big winners this year, reaping ad revenue like never before.
