I read some stuff about marketing ethics and some believe that anything related to marketing is evil.

Do you work in marketing/market research? Share your experience please:)

^ Bull$hit, marketing is Evil.

Where did you heard this from?

BTW, I am in a marketing management position.

Well i'm interested in applying for a a company that is a "market research consultancy conducting qualitative and quantitative research in the pharmaceutical sector"

I have a masters degree related to health statistics and research. Do you think it's worth applying? The slight thing that I am concerned about is probably the ethics of the clients i'd have to work with. I enjoy doing research and I don't mind helping with the promotion of products that really are beneficial but I will feel bad if I know the product isn't good.

Am I wrong to think that? Since a part of marketing is also to get the product to meet the needs of consumers..

Yes i think it's evil. It brainwashes ur mind so that you keep comsuming.

Coung V's obviously going to defend that arguement becuase apparently he's in 'managment'

The advertisments you see on TV are usually for 'luxury' products that you don't exactly need and it's absolutly no benifit to you, but if you think that the stuff you're selling promotes wellness then go for it

Marketing is a tool. A tool in the hands of an ethical person is ethical, but a tool in an evil person is evil. To be a successful entrepreneur often enough one will have to be strong, ruthless, wise, and they will have to step on others to succeed. Some people will play the game fair, others will backstab. That is always the case in the business world.

To develop a good marketing plan, the fundamental thing is that you got to believe in your company and your product. If you can't even get that right, then I guarantee that you will fail. If you feel that their products or the company is not worth your effort, then you should not bother. However, my advice is do not be afraid to try.
