I think the best marketing team by far is Victoria's Secret....

They send out catalog after catalog on a daily basis....They have stores popping up at various locations....They have specials on TV....They have mastered the art of T & A like nobody else has ever done & have attracted both sexes to their product....

Imo they are at the top of the heap....

I think I have it narrowed down to three. This is obviously gonna step on somebody's toes, and that's not my intention here. Marketing is partially my job at work and I wish I could pull off the wizardry these guys do.

In no particular order:

Coors: Coors light is garbage, possibly the worst of the mass produced beers in the US yet it's the third highest selling domestic beer. They get premium shelf space in a lot of distributors/grocers, top billing at a lot of chain restaurants and tap space at every bar in America despite having a sup-par product.

Starbucks: Man, they got the world fooled with that over-roasted and over-priced stuff they sell. All of the sudden otherwise normal people will stand in line to pay $5+ for a coffee that has to have caramel and whipped cream in it. I remember when simply getting cream in your coffee would get you a punch in the arm from your buddies at work. Now, if all you order at Starbuck's is a black coffee I'm not sure they would know how to fill the order. Coffee used to mean dashing into 7-11 and throwing 99 cents on the counter while you poured yourself a large cup. Now it's 10 minutes in line and you need an engineering degree to order it.
Well played, Starbuck's.

Ford: Specifically the folks at the truck division. Somehow they have made what was meant to be a work vehicle a definition of your manhood. Most guys don't NEED a truck, but for some reason they WANT one and they want one that can tow a small state all the while having nothing to tow. Every time a guy at work gets a truck sure enough someone gets one bigger, and then one bigger. Funny thing is all of them have perfect bed liners in them, not a scratch in those beds. I guess they just enjoy bad gas mileage and being asked by friends to help them move.


The above are masters of the Jedi Mind Trick IMO and have not only driven their companies sales to the top, but created markets where one didn't even really exist.

Coors sucks, but this is subjective, so to each his own.

Starbucks is for idiots who like to waste money while thinking they're cool and edgy.

Ford products suck as proven repeatedly over the course of time, but hey, to each his own. Men do like their trucks, it is quite amusing. In Texas it's usually the shrimpy guys with the biggest trucks.

My wife occasionally buys her clothes from Victoria Secret's catalogs & she probably gets a catalog a day....And because of this I have paid attention to them....Right now they are in the process of opening up a huge store in a very prime location of Scottsdale....Hopefully some of their top models will be at the grand opening....LOL....

I actually thought about adding them to the list, but their product actually does what it's advertised to do better than others in that line.

There has to be a reason every college and professional team uses it, right?


Maybe not, though, and that would make them easily the best at what they do.

Geico, Aflac, and progressive have shitty non-competitive products but great marketing.

KFC is good but extremely overpriced, but marketing in the past has put It over the top forever. It's about the fourth best place in my town to buy fried chicken, and by far the most expensive.

Dominos pizza blows too, but effective marketing has made it strong and successful everywhere. Remember the Noid?

I would add Under Armor to this list....I think they offer a quality product, but have done an impressive job in creating a vibe around their product. Also impressive how quickly they have broken into the whole spectrum of professional sports.

It's sugar water. Useless. Sure, electrolytes. You can get those plenty of places.

MJ- the whole history. It's a household name-
