Christ I hate these people. I work with a guy who constantly says “You gonna tell me marketing and branding doesn’t matter? Apple is the most valuable company in the world!”

Like that makes ANY sense…

Well, it is important, but not as much as these people think it is

It exists. I’m unconvinced that it’s “important.”

Internet advertising has taught us a lot. Every single part of it is trackable so you can see what value you’re getting from it. And that value is tiny. This is why internet ads are a mess. It’s a fuck-shit stack of deceptive trash because that’s the only thing that can actually bring home a fraction of a penny. Display ads are like chemical suits: they do nothing!
