You Might Be Racist When …

Hanging A Shingle On Purpose

Stengel.gif

James Stengel, a Franklin & Marshall grad like me, is set to embark on a new journey in his storied marketing career. According to The Wall Street Journal, the outgoing global marketing chief at Procter & Gamble and 25-year P&G veteran is opening Jim Stengel LLC on Monday.

Stengel will try to persuade companies to buy into “purpose-based marketing,” which Stengel says is about defining what a company does — beyond making money — and how it can make its customers’ lives better.

“Marketing is in need of a major overhaul,” and “trust in brands is at an all-time low,” says Mr. Stengel, who is funding the venture himself.

Stengel isn’t the only one thinking about such matters. Austin-based, GSD&M, is all about “purpose-based branding.”

Artist causing fuss with ‘Soldier’ billboards

Soldier copy

Suzanne Opton’s intriguing “Soldier” billboards, now popping up across the country, are receiving predictably mixed reactions. The ads are part of an art project by Opton, who’s been photographing U.S. soldiers upon their return from Iraq and Afghanistan. The images look rather ghoulish, but while the soldiers look dead, they’re actually alive. Opton insists the images are meant to be artistic, not political, but that seems willfully naive. They engage a topic that’s under intense debate and has far-reaching legislative and social consequences—it doesn’t get much more political than that. We’re not trying to tell Opton how to do her job, but if you want to provoke people, then provoke them.
