The Grinch is da MAN.
Yeah, he's mean.
Yeah, he's nasty.
And yeah, he's got termites in his smile and his heart's an empty
hole. (The "Grinch" song makes him sound like a politician...)
But I bet he'd make one heckuva marketer.
And here are a few reasons why:
1. Inventive
While it's true the Grinch is a sociopathic scum bag when he
fleeces Whoville, it's hard not to admire his ability to pull it
off (in one night!) almost all by himself (we have to give SOME
credit to Max who pulled the sled).
2. Quick Thinking
Coming up with all those successfully elaborate plans on the spot
-- especially when under that kind of pressure -- is a pretty handy
skill to have in ye olde marketing "tool box."
3. Makes Everything Right
The dude STOLE Christmas -- looting an entire town of probably tens
of thousands of smackeroos worth of gifts, presents and food (the
bastard even took the last can of Who Hash!) And yet, somehow he
was STILL able to make up for it and was even given the honor of
carving the roast beast.
Those are some serious "PR" skillz.
4. Passion
Once the Grinch gets smitten by something good (such as when Cindy
Lou Who is in trouble, or when Martha May flirts with him in class)
he's capable of all kinds of creativity and problem-solving feats
and miracles.
And some pretty clever ones at that...
So yeah, the Grinch is a marketing stud.
And you know what?
I'd bet green money that YOUR marketing will stick out like a Who
fart at dinner if you became more "Grinch like", too.
(At least in the ways above.)
OK, that's it for today.
Be safe.
And have a merry Christmas.
