Successful Inventions Made from Accident

How To
How did marketing history become propaganda?
The term "propaganda", as it is commonly known, was first used by Max Weber (1879), a German sociologist. He derived the term from the Greek "praopagos", meaning "to speak well." The Latin verb propaganda, which means "nearby" or at hand, and the noun "agogos," which means "speech or speech," is the source of the word. It's a "systematic attempt to influence attitudes and behavior."
George Orwell, British journalist and author of "Propaganda," wrote that propaganda was not intended to convince people to believe anything. He only wanted to change their beliefs...
Edward Bernays (1891 –1955) was Sigmund Freud’s nephew. In 1922, he coined the term "public Relations". He believed that "the conscious, intelligent manipulation of organized habits and opinions is an important component of a democratic country." He created the public relations firm Bernays & Company in 1927. He worked there until 1955.
Bernays invented an "engineering permission" technique, which allowed him to influence public opinion through publicity and advertising campaigns. His methods were adopted later by mass media companies like Newsweek, CBS News, NBC News and Time Magazine. Bernays became a close collaborator with corporations and government agencies in order to influence public opinion after World War II. Some of his clients included Johnson & Johnson, General Electric, Procter & Gamble, Coca-Cola, Ford Motor Company, U.S. Department of Defense, American Tobacco Company, DuPont, Rayonier, and the United States Chamber of Commerce.
His most notable client was the tobacco industry. Philip Morris was his most notable client. He developed a campaign against tobacco smoking in 1939. This campaign was recommended by the Surgeon general. The Cigarette Advertising Act of 1965 was passed. This law prohibited any cigarette advertising in print media, such as magazines, newspapers, or television.
He also offered advice to President Franklin D Roosevelt concerning how to deal the Great Depression's growing labor movement. Bernays recommended that the president declare a war on hunger and use federal government power to ensure adequate food supply. This strategy made the government seem like a loving father figure, and it helped the president win his re-election bid in 1936.
Bernays promoted the idea of "radio-listening" in order to increase radio sales. In the 1930s, Bernays introduced the concepts of "branding", and "advertising". He believed that customers could be motivated by appealing to their emotional side, and making them feel unique. He promoted the slogan, "Have I got what it takes?" He encouraged women to buy war bonds in 1933.
He founded a political committee, "Young People for Freedom," in 1944. This group was created to encourage Americans between the ages of 18 and 30 to vote Republican. Bernays' efforts proved successful when Dwight Eisenhower won the presidential election in 1952.
Bernays convinced the CIA to stage a coup against Iran in 1953. Shah Reza Pahlevi replaced Mohammad Mosaddegh. This was done to stop Mosaddegh's nationalization of Iranian oil fields. Bernays wrote articles praiseing the new regime after the coup as "moderate," progressive, and modernized.
Bernays was the recipient of many other awards over his entire career.
