principle of marketing 4

DQ. This question must be answered in a 150 word count.
Current events frequently make their way into marketing. This concept, called “zeitgeist” — literally, “spirit of the times” — allows

marketers to link their products or services to back-of-mind concerns. (For example, during presidential election years, advertising might

utilize a campaign theme. During recessionary periods, ads often focus on saving money. Many products today are touted as “green,” in

response to concerns about the environment.) Describe at least one company which has utilized “zeitgeist” in their marketing. (Note: Do

NOT use Apple or Nike, which actually create and capture TRENDS.) Why is the concept of zeitgeist important to marketers?
For this and all other Discussion questions, post your initial response (150 -250 words), and reply to at least TWO classmates’ postings

in a minimum of 75 words. Important: In this week’s initial posting, I would like you to use and cite/reference supplemental research. 🙂
