The Role of People in Marketing

Marketing fundamentally revolves around people and aims at influencing their behavior. The discussion emphasizes that the most effective marketing strategies focus on attracting customers to come to a business rather than pursuing them aggressively. One key insight is that becoming famous can shift the marketing paradigm to a more proactive approach, where customers seek out the brand instead of the other way around.
