The influence of POMO thinking
The influence of Jean-François Lyotard, Rolland Barthes and Michel Foucault in the practice of "modern marketing":
"Modern marketing has consciously co-opted the tools of post-modern discourse to sell more stuff. Brands such as Nike explicitly adopt rebellious attitudes in their advertising campaigns. Thus capitalism employs the critique that was designed to destroy it."

"Militant marketing": Apple, Virgin, Nike, etc. Don't you just love anti-conventional brands,those that make you feel you're challenging the establishment. Indeed I love the irony of this article. I consume anti-consumerism everyday withe same brands I use and wear.
iros a la mierda
