Waarom werd Obama president van Amerika !?

Via: www.martenschuurman.nl

Als je (ruim) een uurtje over hebt en je ben benieuwd waarom Barack Obama de president van Amerika is geworden dan moet je de onderstaande presentatie bekijken.

Het gaat dus echt over de manier waarop Obama zijn campagne heeft gevoerd, er wordt uitgelegd dat het een van de succesvolste reclamecampagnes in de geschiedenis is geweest (wat mij betreft DE succesvolste reclamecampagne ooit)en er wordt ook uitgelegd WAAROM dat zo is. Voor mij als student van de minor Online Marketing is dit een relevante presentatie...

Ik zou zeggen neem de tijd als reclame maken, verkopen, marketing of wat dan ook je interesseert. Er staan cijfers tussen waarvan ik denk dat dat nog nooit is vertoond in de geschiedenis van de reclame en marketing.



Toedeloe,
