Has Advertising Ever Been Used As A Form Of Torture? The Simple Answer Is A Surprising "Yes." I've Got An Example.

While I have always felt that advertising was interesting. Even in high school. It's been a passion of mine, teaching, consulting and doing expert witnessing, in Marketing and Advertising.  

Yes, on a form of torture, and I will use an example. 

The endearing “Meow, meow, meow, meow” tv spot for Ralston Purina’s Meow Mix accompanied by the tagline or slogan “The cat food that cats ask for by name,”

The NY Times described the pet food commercial as having “one of the best known, most readily sung commercial jingles.” But this award-winning tv spot was less endearing when played repeatedly to torture terrorism suspects at the U.S. prison compound at Guantánamo Bay.

Advertising falls under one of the elements under "Promotion." Advertising used in prison. Oh, my.

I created the 9P's of Marketing--Planning, People, Product, Place, Price, Promotion, Partners, Passion and Presentation to solve Marketing and business problems and create Marketing opportunities. They do relate to football coaches.

In early 2025, I have used plenty of examples of the 9P’s of Marketing to explain the different components of Marketing in three classrooms, Loyola Law School and Pepperdine. Added blog posts, too. .And a podcast. 

Marketing is not only advertising or PR. Marketing is not only PR, they are just two of the eight components under Promotion with my 9P's. 

My 9P's of Marketing do include include these important concepts, practices and components:

• Planning and Research. From the founder of Intuit, Scott Cook, said: " A brand is no longer what we tell the consumer it is -- (maybe from Marketing Research never was is my comment) it is what consumers (“People” in the 9P’s) tell each other it is.
• People (Segmentation and Targeting)
• In my 9P's, I stress that firms need to look and analyze potential, new, existing and repeat customers and users. 
• Product and Services
• Place (Distribution)
• Price or Pricing 
• Promotion: 
• There are eight (8) major, strategic components or communication elements which are personal and non-personal communication activities. 
• The activities that communicate the merits of the overall product include:
• Personal Selling/ Sales Force: Sales persons
• Listen more than you talk. People who listen more, learn more, plus helps you position your service/product/solution or offering. 
• Advertising: 
Like Super Bowl advertising in February for Super Bowl. Think about this expression "It is only creative if the product or service sells." I wanted to add "It is only good media spending if it sells."
• Sales Promotion
• Collateral Materials
• Direct Marketing (also referred to as Action or Direct Response Advertising)
• Interactive/Internet/Web, Digital Media, Social Media:  
• Events and Experiences, hugely important in New Orleans and at the store level. 
• Public Relations/PR
• One stop shopping is more important than ever. 

• Partners/Alliances: Most times Marketers can’t create customer value and build customer relationships only by themselves. They work closely with partners and alliances outside the firm, and with other company departments (inside partners).   

Partnerships and teams that feel a connection to the work and the purpose are going to speak far more passionately together and to your or their “people,” and with far more influence.

A partnership; the joint relationships, partnerships and strategic alliances: The relationship existing between two parties; a relationship resembling a legal partnership and usually involving close cooperation between parties having specific and joint rights and responsibilities as a common enterprise. Usually plural or “Partners,” not Partner.

                Ensure that there is excellent planned and natural alignment of internal and                            external agencies/partnerships/alliances around common goals and purposes.                       
They should be moving toward shared goals or goals. 

• Presentation:
• The act or acts of strategically presenting any of the different 9P’s© and/or components to your customers, suppliers, wholesalers, retailers, sales force, marketing intermediaries, clients, employees, partners, and/or others. 

  Presentation aspects may be signs, symbols or images that represent something; a descriptive or persuasive account (as a sales person of the product or service). Something set forth for the attention of mind of your targets ("People") and media audiences.

• Passion, including consumers and employees. Think about the lines sometimes of consumers waiting for a new Apple product

Could Use The 9P's Of Marketing To Explain Colorado University Coach Deion Sanders' Strategy Or Lack of One: "No in-home visits for recruits. No off-campus visits to high schools."

Unlike retail when and where you bring the product where people want it. Sanders Philosophy is different.

This Colorado football coach just finished another recruiting season in Boulder with a highly unusual strategy:

He makes No in-home visits for recruits. And he makes No off-campus visits to high schools.

He may know players but what about "People," "Place," "Promotion," "Planning," "Partners" and more under Nine P's of Marketing. 

I created the 9P's of Marketing--Planning, People, Product, Place, Price, Promotion, Partners, Passion and Presentation to solve Marketing and business problems and create Marketing opportunities. They do relate to football coaches.

Partnering with high school coaches. 

CU is a brand. Partnering with brands outside their sector will open up added sales, new area or new “People.”

Partnerships and teams that feel a connection to the work and the purpose are going to speak far more passionately together and to your or their “people,” and with far more influence.

A partnership; the joint relationships, partnerships and strategic alliances: The relationship existing between two parties; a relationship resembling a legal partnership and usually involving close cooperation between parties having specific and joint rights and responsibilities as a common enterprise.

What A Marketing, Business and Legal Nightmare. “It Ends with Us"...In A Courtroom.

Lily Bloom versus Ryle Kincaid. Or Blake Lively versus Justin Baldoni.

I saw this movie in a theatre, under “Place,” in my Nine P's of Marketing. You can see it on Netflix. 

Now you can read about it in the entertainment and movie trades, the WSJ and see the segments on Entertainment shows. Add the cover of "People" magazine. Couldn't pull the magazine out of our mailbox fast enough. 

I created the 9P's of Marketing--Planning, People, Product, Place, Price, Promotion, Partners, Passion and Presentation to solve Marketing and business problems and create Marketing opportunities. 

Plenty of examples of the 9P’s of Marketing that I have used this movie release to explain the 9P’s of Marketing in three classrooms, Loyola Law School and Pepperdine. Added blog posts, too. .

"People" are watching this movie now. Lily Bloom versus Ryle Kincaid. Or Blake Lively versus Justin Baldoni.

Lawsuits. "Partners," under the 9P’s fighting.

 Just read that the Author Colleen Hoover of “It Ends with Us" has removed all photos of Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively from her Instagram account.

With the legal battles between Lively, 37, and Baldoni, 41, the author has stepped back from this social media platform.  

The movie or “Product” hit theaters in August 2024.

But Marketing is not only advertising or PR for in this movie battling out in the trades and in the courtroom. Marketing is not only PR, they are just two of the eight components under Promotion with my 9P's.

Super Bowl Spots for Super Bowl LIX: Will Be Good, Average, Bad and Ugly.

It's Super Bowl LIX time. Next week. Using my 9P's. of Marketing.

Expecting more than 126 Million viewers.

For 41 years. Reviewing the Super Bowl ads/spots (On FOX, now costing up to $8 Million each/$267K a second, without creative, production, celebrity fees and experiences and event costs). So many alternatives. in spending marketing dollars. I have showed and reviewed the spots (not all of them) in undergrad, graduate -- MBA programs and in Law Schools.

Now it is easy to see the TV spots. Before and after the game.

I do remember in 1985 and for several years three of my fellow teachers at USC we would work together pay $100 each for a video cassette of the spots spliced together. The Old Days.

Now so many spots are released a week in advance. "It's only creative if it sells." as in sales, moving "Product," Products or Services.

Looking forward to several presentations

next week.

What We Will See in New Orleans For SB LIX?

More branding. 

More Experiences and Events in New Orleans to support the advertisers' branding and advertising.

Also called Experiential Events which are a type of event or events designed to create a memorable and interactive experience for attendees. 

I have found that unlike traditional events where the focus may be solely on delivering information or entertainment, experiential events prioritize creating immersive experiences that resonate with attendees.

Under "Promotion" in my 9P's of Marketing is "Experiences and Events."

One of the eight elements or parts or components under Promotion is Experiences and Events.

More engagement. Not just a $8 Million spot which doesn't include creative, production or celebrity costs.

But Marketing is not only advertising. Marketing is not only PR, they are just two of the eight components under Promotion with my 9P's. 

My 9P's of Marketing do include include these important concepts, practices and components:

• Planning and Research. From the founder of Intuit, Scott Cook, said: " A brand is no longer what we tell the consumer it is -- (maybe from Marketing Research never was is my comment) it is what consumers (“People” in the 9P’s) tell each other it is.
• People (Segmentation and Targeting)
• In my 9P's, I stress that firms need to look and analyze potential, new, existing and repeat customers and users. 
• Product and Services
• Place (Distribution)
• Price or Pricing 
• Promotion: 
• There are eight (8) major, strategic components or communication elements which are personal and non-personal communication activities. 
• The activities that communicate the merits of the overall product include:
• Personal Selling/ Sales Force: Sales persons
• Listen more than you talk. People who listen more, learn more, plus helps you position your service/product/solution or offering. 
• Advertising: 
Like Super Bowl advertising in February for Super Bowl XIX on FOX.
You may not know that Google, Facebook and Amazon attract 46 cents of every dollar spent by advertisers. In fact, Google and Facebook are the dominant digital advertising market vendors in the US, accounting for a combined 48.4% of total digital ad spending. Think about this expression "It is only creative if the product or service sells." I wanted to add "It is only good media spending if it sells."
• Sales Promotion
• Collateral Materials
• Direct Marketing (also referred to as Action or Direct Response Advertising)
• Interactive/Internet/Web, Digital Media, Social Media:  
• Events and Experiences
• Public Relations/PR
• With inflation at increasing higher levels, we are seeing brick and mortar retailers needing physical traffic to survive. Gas prices at record levels are keeping customers from driving more. One stop shopping is more important than ever. 
• Partners/Alliances: Most times Marketers can’t create customer value and build customer relationships only by themselves. They work closely with partners and alliances outside the firm, and with other company departments (inside partners).   

Partnering with brands outside their sector will open up added sales, new area or new “People.”

Partnerships and teams that feel a connection to the work and the purpose are going to speak far more passionately together and to your or their “people,” and with far more influence.

A partnership; the joint relationships, partnerships and strategic alliances: The relationship existing between two parties; a relationship resembling a legal partnership and usually involving close cooperation between parties having specific and joint rights and responsibilities as a common enterprise. Usually plural or “Partners,” not Partner.

                Ensure that there is excellent planned and natural alignment of internal and                            external agencies/partnerships/alliances around common goals and purposes.                       

They should be moving toward shared goals or goals. 

• Presentation:
• The act or acts of strategically presenting any of the different 9P’s© and/or components to your customers, suppliers, wholesalers, retailers, sales force, marketing intermediaries, clients, employees, partners, and/or others. 

  Presentation aspects may be signs, symbols or images that represent something; a descriptive or persuasive account (as a sales person of the product or service). Something set forth for the attention of mind of your targets ("People") and media audiences.

• Passion
