The hammer salesman has infiltrated every corporate marketing team on the planet. It is a requirement to use the hammer at a shit load on companies.

It's pretty pervasive, and that campaign was way more successful than I ever thought it would be.

It's gonna be a wait and see type deal, but imo not going great

Let's hope so.

Pretty much my problem. The salesman is telling the carpenter how to do their craft. And the boss goes along with it because its more profitable to say you're using a hammer than it is to actually build and fix stuff.

It'd be deliberate corporate sabotage if I didn't believe they were so stupid.
