The making of Hillary 5.0: Marketing wizards help reimagine Clinton brand
2015-02-23
"It's exactly the same as selling an iPhone or a soft drink or a cereal," said Peter Sealey, a longtime corporate marketing strategist. "She needs to use everything a brand has: a dominant color, a logo, a symbol. . . . The symbol of a Mercedes is a three-pointed star. The symbol of Coca-Cola is the contour bottle. The symbol of McDonald's is the golden arches. What is Clinton's symbol?"
Living proof that "longtime corporate marketing strategists" should be drawn, quartered, sown back together and then drawn and quartered again.

#19  Perhaps she could benefit from the Pelosi make-over technique and "Thrill Bill" or do you think its too much too late?

#18  I didn't like Hillary alpha, beta or releases 1.0 through 4.0. If past is prologue--just saying.

#12  If this is what Hillary! has been reduced to, Elizabeth Warren should be on the warpath ready to announce for 2016 any day now.

#11  Ah, yes, Bill Clinton, the point where Hillary repeated participated in the #WARONWOMEN. Above all else men (and women) crave power.

#10  The problem is, her symbol is Bill Clinton, and has been since she ran for the Senate. "Two for the price of one," a way to eventually get him back in the White House for a third term. But as our turnaround artists well know, changing the image of an established product is hard, and very expensive ... and has to be based on substance. What substantial change in her plans or her views can the former Secretary of State point to? For that matter, what substantial successes can she point to, at any stage in her career? Hint: getting elected/appointed doesn't count.
