Not marketers, lobbyists
- rapnie 4mo agoBoth? But yea, if you see the Advisory Board shown in an image lower in the article, you get the general idea.
- oytis 4mo agoObama making an account on Twitter is a marketers' success. Twitter became popular first, politicians wanted to appear there second. WSocial just went to politicians directly,it's not known by general public. Good news is, it rarely helps with commercial success
- pocksuppet 4mo agoProbably marketers in this one. Marketers who know how to access politicians adn get invited to WEF. The distinction: marketers know how to trick people, lobbyists bribe them.
- oytis 4mo agoThat's not lobbyism, that's straight corruption. Lobbyism is, at least in theory, about convincing politicians
- pocksuppet 4mo agoIn practice it's about bribing them or at least telling them personal gains. Like if you tell a politician he should support the war on Iran because he owns lots of oil stocks and they'll go up. Marketing is telling a politician this app is the future of EU social chat so you need to be using it.
- lenerdenator 4mo agoYou would have to be exceptionally naïve to think that a good chunk of the "lobbying" done doesn't involve some sort of exchange of something of value.
- calgoo 4mo agoIts legalized bribes, basically pay to play these days.
- lenerdenator 4mo agoNot lobbyists, bribers.
- CurryFurry 4mo agoNGOs are also lobbyists, and of the worse kind.
- ninjalanternshk 4mo agoNGOs are not lobbyists. Some NGOs lobby/employ lobbyists. That’s not the same thing.
