Market-ing thought differently
When we think about marketing, we sometimes ask ourselves the question: What is marketing anyway and can you learn it? The answer to this question will surprise you. You will gain insights into how marketing can be easy and simple, which is why we need to think outside the box. You will get a witty and humorous approach to how tech companies like Google manage to attract free employees and why marketing is more than just a buzzword. Together with you as a participant, we will change the way we see marketing.
