: Publicity-
: A versatile word, not reflecting positive or negative feelings. Eminem- many view him negatively due to ideas portrayed in the publicity, but hey, everyone knows who he is. Marketing is a great example of positive propaganda (read: glittering generalities, bandwagon, etc.).
: I believe that anyone who hands out fliers etc. about their robot make an imprint upon the minds of influential people on a team. Even if you don't pick them, you know about them. Teams who handed out business cards, laminated fliers (team 5 had cool bookmarks that i have like 100 of plus SLINKIES!!)and fliers stick out in my head. I know I helped with the flier in 99 and 00 and it helped
....
: And hey, it's better than walking around with a cardboard sign that reads "Will strip for alliance". But hey, that was still publicity, and we all know what that team (cough cough fourninteen!) is.
: PR...the other job opportunity FIRST stems into. Hey, we don't have any marketers for heros either- how many people know who created the "Got Milk?" campaign??
: Enough said...
