In the case of digimon, someone who is good with the tool will not sell digimon chasing the pokemon fad, that's one of the great mistakes that series had.
You would play off the product's unique strengths and then you wouldn't sell the product by listing those, but by creating a need in people that conveniently leads to your product being one of the main solutions to their newly discovered need. Did women need to smoke cigarettes? No. Was their health better for it? No. Then why did smoking become so popular? By playing into the winds of the times Bernays made smoking fulfill a need that only tengentially related to smoking.
Same with how he sold pianos through the idea of a music room. Not really through the quality of the piano itself.
A master of this craft can turn products into deeply ingrained part of culture, like he did with the eggs and bacon breakfast that's so commonly associated with Yanks.
A good marketing campaign can turn Red Bull, a drink that people straight up hated when doing tests, into one of the major soft drinks in the world.
The propaganda is an amazing tool which if used by the right people with the right resources can shape the culture of an entire civilization.
The idea of Digimon is marketable enough. If shit like cigarettes and red bull can be massively sold, definitely so can Digimon, even if you don't like them.
But I insist, I really don't think a world were V-Pet and Tamagotchi are massively popular would be a world where they took the place of Pokemon, it'd most certainly be it's own thing as trying to live off Pokemon's popularity was what led people to see Digimon as a knockoff.
>>53777581What? What's wrong about liking marketing and propaganda?
It's just one of my interests, and I don't really like Digimon beyond the superficial level. Just watched the anime when I was a kid. Never played any of the games or had one of the devices.
