Has Anyone In New York Ever Tried This Company Their New Jersey Marketing Company Reputation

What are some of the biggest marketing errors ever?

Having this young lady endorse your campaign.This is Kendall Jenner, part of the Kardashian/Jenner clan that receive so much press attention.Earlier this year, she was the face of an expensive Pepsi Cola advertising campaign that was supposed to be empowering and unifying, and support the “Black Lives Matter” movement, by having the celebrity diffuse tensions at a protest by handing a can of Pepsi to a police officer.It backfired sensationally. It was vague, it was crass, and it was hated. The commercial suggested Jenner and Pepsi as some kind of savior in these troubled times. The company made sincere apologies, and quickly withdrew the commercial from circulation, never to be seen again… unless you watch it below, that is!But her year didn’t end there…Next up came the Fyre Festival. As one of the biggest influencers on Instagram, Kendall Jenner was reportedly paid $250k to promote the event to her followers. The event turned out to be one of the most disastrous events in festival history. With ridiculously expensive tickets, what was billed as a luxury event on a paradise island, turned out to have no music, bad food, and a seemingly endless list of complaints from festival-goers, and is becoming a legal nightmare for the organizers. While Kendall Jenner never claimed to be attending the event, the fact she was paid so handsomely to promote it, and coming fresh on the heels of the Pepsi debacle, she was forever linked to the disastrous event.But her year didn’t end there…Along with her sister Kylie, she then released a set of vintage music t-shirts from legendary artists, but with the sisters’ faces superimposed on top, retailing for an extortionate $125 a piece. The backlash came fast and furious, with everyone from Ozzy Osbourne’s wife Sharon, to the Notorious B.I.G.’s mother Volletta protesting the use of these images, and questioning their legality. The sisters quickly apologized and withdrew the items from sale.It has to make you question the guidance Kendall Jenner is receiving from her advisers. Perhaps one of the biggest marketing errors isn’t the use of Kendall Jenner in these campaigns. Perhaps one of the biggest marketing errors was Kendall Jenner’s choice of advisers and the damage they have brought to, let’s call it “Brand Kendall Jenner.”

Do Americans have a reputation of being dumb? If so, why?

Yes, ‘Stupid Americans’ is a well known term in most languages!The reason is not not simple to explain, but I’ll give it a go!Firstly, most of the rest of the world only see the US through its movie and tv exports. This simplified sensationalist style over substance content is also what they see replicated by most of the Americans they actually meet. This might not be a fair view to Americans, but when you consider that most initial conversations with locals tend to start with some kind of reference to TV or the media, its how the rest of the world are introduced to you!Secondly, Americans have a very over confident view of the world. If they have to reach a solution, facts seem to take a backseat to belief in the knowledge that they have the right solution! The more belief they have, the more correct the solution! This viewpoint is one I reached after dealing with Americans while working in an IT support role. A memorable quote was one guy who started the conversation telling me he didn’t know about the technology he wanted fixing, but ended it telling me know he would do it!Another big issue that Americans have is the extreme viewpoints they take on almost every subject. You are either for something, or you are against something. There doesn’t seem to be any place for compromise as if it was not the American way! Why this is is beyond me, but there does seem to be a very child like approach to politics, and may well be why the rest of the world see ‘stupid Americans’ .Related to this is how viewpoints have to be connected. If you believe one thing, you have to believe something else. Like all gun owners are pro-life. Or you can’t be an environmentalist and a capitalist or whatever other unrelated ideas. The point is, most of the rest of the world take ideas on their own merit.Finally, there is the gross over spending that Americans tend to demonstrate to the rest of the world. Why have one car for the whole family, when you can have one for every day of the week? Why only have a 42″ TV, when you can have an 85″ in every room? Whether this is jelousy on behalf of the rest of the world, or the rest of the world seeing a whole society spending itself happy, while ignoring the rest things that are making them unhappy.The reality is, I have met a few very bright Americans, and the country does have form for doing some amazing things. However, in the grand scheme of things, there is no get away from the stereotype!

Who was the greatest con man in history?

Natwarlal, The Biggest Con man Of IndiaMeet, Natwarlal- The Bunty of real life, the Ricky Bahl of his own kind.Popularly known as Natwarlal, Mithilesh Kumar Srivastava was a lawyer who turned into the ‘great Indian conman’. He sold prized monuments of India and duped big shot industrialists with sheer ease.2. He sold the Taj Mahal thrice!Red Fort, he sold twice. He also sold the Rashtrapati Bhawan, and even the Parliament House of India (along with its 545 sitting members) to gullible foreigners by posing as a government official…3. He was the king of disguises and even tried to forge the signature of Dr. Rajendra Prasad!He had as many as 50 aliases and even forged signatures like a pro. They say, with merely a glance at a signature, he could create a replica. He duped the likes of Dhirubhai Ambani, the Birlas, and the Tatas for tons of cash by disguising himself as a social worker or a needy person.4. They sentenced him to 113 years in prison; as if!He had 100 cases charged on him and was wanted by the police of 8 states. He was arrested as many as 9 times but each time he managed to break away. The last notable escape he made was when he was 84, at New Delhi railway station, while he was being escorted by police from Kanpur jail to AIIMS in Delhi. The date was June 24, 1996, after which, he was never seen again.5. He died twice.He conned people even in his death. It was in 2009 when his lawyer asked that the 100s of pending cases on Natwarlal be dropped claiming that the conman had passed away on July 25, 2009. Now, he probably would have, because of the evident age factor. But, his brother claimed to have cremated Natwarlal in 1996 itself, which was 13 years before the lawyer made his announcement. How did the conman revive to die again, is a question that remains put.6. In popular culture, Natwarlal’s work as a conman was seen as a clever artAnd hence, Bollywood movies like Raja Natwarlal starring Emraan Hashmi in the lead and, Mr. Natwarlal starring Amitabh Bachchan were loosely inspired by the real Natwarlal’s shenanigans.Also, I guess now you know why every fraudster is called Natwarlal in India.7. They wished to establish his statue in his hometown; such was his fandom!Source:-Storypick

What is the most "Silicon Valley" thing you've ever experienced?

I am going to take a literal shot at the “Silicon Valley” portion of the question.Bachmanity Insanity. This is where art imitates life, or vise versa; it further validates just how what some see as the satire of the show is not only based in real life, but sometimes weirdly accurate.I worked at GoPro pre and post IPO and some of what went on there makes the show “Silicon Valley” look tame and conservative, but this isn’t about GoPro, this is about another startup that went public in SV in 2015/2016. (I will not name the company). This is firsthand knowledge, as an employee there (who has since departed) shared some emails and the shit storm that followed after the some of the details leaked, I was also promised a spot on the guest list.After going public and being awash in cash, the higher-ups wanted to throw a party (they had already had parties where Imagine Dragons and Snoop Dogg had headlined) that would be legendary for all their investors and employees. They decided to rent out Alcatraz for this concert/party. It pretty much played out like Bachmanity did on the TV show. Cost overruns because of logistical problems and the fact the details of the “secret” party had begun to leak outside of the party planners and executive circle.The company was committed so they plugged along and began hyping the party to the internal stakeholders that it would be the best party ever. They booked two huge bands headlining, private ferry boats and a super exclusive guest list of SV illuminati and celebs.Then the Bachmanity Insanity storyline began to air on the “Silicon Valley” TV show in May 2016.I don't know how far in advance the TV show taped versus aired, but the party being planned on the show was nearly identical in details. The onscreen fallout from the implosion of the party pretty much rained on the parade. The scary thing was, the parallel with the real party was perceived internally as pretty cool at first. What if they could pull it off, successfully put together the party that sank Bachman on SV?Cooler heads prevailed and (a few MONTHS later!) it was eventually scrapped and a “normal” party was planned. I believe it was at the former SF US Mint or some other venue that wasn't quite as stigmatized and as expensive, and luckily most of the prepaid costs were transferred to the new party.It was hilarious to watch all this play out, and the hubris involved. It was very close to actually happening. Definitely the most “Silicon Valley” thing I have ever seen.

What are some unintended science inventions in history?

Saccharin. Cyclamate. Aspartame. These chemical compounds are all artificial sweeteners - discovered accidentally.SaccharinConstantin Fahlberg was working with derivatives of coal tar. He returned home after a long day at the lab. He bit into a bread roll and noticed that it was incredibly sweet. He realised that he had not washed his hands since leaving the lab and concluded that the sweet taste had been caused by a chemical he was working with.He didn’t now which specific chemical caused the sweet taste, so he returned to the lab and tasted every single chemical he had worked with that day until he identified the sweet-tasting chemical: saccharin.CyclamateMichael Sveda was working on the synthesis of anti-fever medicines.It had been a hard day and he had made little progress. He sighed and lit a cigarette. After taking a few puffs he put his cigarette down on a work bench and it came into contact with some cyclamates. After putting it back into his mouth, he realised that it tasted sweet.11 years later, cyclamate joined the market as an aritifical sweetener.AspartameJames Schlatter was working on an anti-ulcer drug. He spilled some aspartame on his hand and ignored it, continuing with his work. Later on, he licked his fingers to separate some sheets of paper and noticed that they tasted incredibly sweet.Diabetics now had another artificial sweetener they could use as an alternative to sucrose.…All of these discoveries were made as a result of the carelessness of the scientists in question. While the discoveries may have been accidental, these scientists still deserve credit for recognising the potential of the chemicals as sweeteners.“The mark of a true scientist is the ability to objectively analyse unexpected results.” - Kaan IbrahimLet us look at one more example: the discovery of penicillin.Alexander Flemming was investigating the properties of a particular strain of bacteria. He left his lab in a mess while he was on holiday. When he returned, he noticed that one of his cultures had been contaminated by a fungus. The area surrounding the ring of fungus was clear of bacteria.Instead of seeing a mouldy mistake and discarding the cultures; Flemming saw a clear ring of opportunity. He conducted further research, resulting in an antibiotic that has saved more than 200 million lives.The moral of the story: Good things come to those who dip cigarettes in mysterious chemicals, forget to wash their hands, and keep their labs untidy.The end.

Who is the most badass woman in history ever?

It is too hard to choose just one badass woman (there are so many) so I will share one of my personal favorites.Amanirenas. She was so badass. She gave the roman emperor Augustus (Octavian), who was one of the biggest assholes in history, what he deserved.After Augustus “defeated” Cleopatra (another thing: Cleopatra did not kill herself. New scientific evidence and a criminal style investigation proves otherwise), he went to try and take over the country right under Egypt called Kush.Now the keyword is try. He didn’t get very far with Amanirenas as ruler of Kush. Her husband had died in battle and she was left with only a son to help her defend her country.That did not stop her from succeeding.She led her country into battle and captured two very major Roman cities.As if that wasn’t a big enough “screw you” to Augustus, she also defaced and vandalized statues of him.She even took the head of Augustus off of a statue and buried it underneath the doorway of one of her temples for everyone to walk on (one of the biggest “screw yous” in history).This only made Augustus more angry. He sent his troops to take back the cities and to capture slaves.Amanirenas responded with beating their Roman asses in battle. Repeatedly.Some accounts say she used war elephants. There are carvings of her wielding two swords. There are also carvings of her feeding prisoners of war to her pet lions.The Romans quickly responded to their defeat by negotiating a peace treaty.Rome never attacked Kush again while she was queen.Bonus: Amanirenas only had one eye and she probably looked really intimidating in battle.ugly-ass statue of Augustus found buried under her templeAmanirenasAlso, Augustus has a knack for getting in fights with badass women.Cleopatra is a prime example of another awesome warrior (she just happened to fight her battles with him using her brain and politics rather than using swords).Cleopatra Selene II, her daughter, is also pretty badass for being the only one in her whole family to survive the destruction of her country and family by Augustus. She went on to be Queen of Mauritania and ended up outlawing slavery there. She also built a huge library in her capitol city (perhaps like the library of Alexandria from her beloved home country) and evidence on coins shows that she was most likely the one to handle ruling the country (her husband was more of a scholar than a king).
