Content: Need anti-climate change propaganda? Need to make a technology company executive look bad in the press? These marketing companies are for you. These marketers use some of the same techniques that the Russians are accused of using in the 2016 US elections. These marketing firms are very sophisticated and their activities have been going on for decades long before social media was around. My direct experience with this is with developers who intend to create a large controversial development of some kind. It could be a power plant, a large resort or something else, Long before anyone knew about a power plant proposal, some power plant developers hired a marketing firm in San Francisco to groom the rural area I lived in at the time for a new power plant big enough to light Seattle. These guys pay locals to write Op-Eds to appear in the local newspapers supporting the ide in terms of jobs. They give money to friendly politicians and covertly support them. They covertly pay people to go and speak up at county administrator meetings, local Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Club, and city council meetings.
