@Miriam - I couldn’t agree more about the opportunity to act as educators. On the opposite side, followers of the “give-them-what-they-want” theory think that’s the last thing a marketer should be. For me personally, it’s definetely a more rewarding path (alas, it often means less financially rewarding as well).

@Barrett - My goal in this field is not to feel like I’m peddling subprime loans!

Thanks for participating!

Alex:
I really enjoyed this. We’re in an age of transition and those who don’t embrace it are doomed, if not to failure, at least to not enjoying work in the marketing field. Looking forward to reading more of your stuff.

I enjoyed this post and it’s face-the-facts approach to the changes that are happening in the way people live.

I see what is being called a disaster by many as an opportunity for marketers to get behind projects that have the power to change Western Civilization for the better.

I know I’d much rather be marketing the 20 lb. bag of rice than the Happy Meal that has filled our planet with poison and plastic and has seriously harmed human health.

We have the opportunity to act as educators here, for products and service that may lead to real happiness for us and our planet.

Thank you for the interesting read.
