People are obsessed with feeling special, feeling informed, feeling unique. How about giving me a product that's all those things? Give me what nobody else does. Give me a flagship phone with a headphone jack and a 16:9 screen, give me a laptop with mouse buttons, give me a 3:2 desktop monitor, give me a videogame with one price tag that's made to just be a good game.

That’s not the job of advertisers, the subject of this article. They don’t make the products. They just help sell them.

  The marketing department exerts significant control over product development.

    This article wasn't about creating a marketing mix. It was specifically about advertising, which is just a subset of marketing.

Nah, they'll give you a shitty phone, 0.1mm thinner, advertise a lot of features that you don't need, and you'll pay the higher price to cover the cost of advertising.

> give me a videogame with one price tag that's made to just be a good game I suggest you look into the Nintendo Switch, which has not only good games but also a wide screen and a headphone jack. And buttons!
