Koch Industries, the energy and packaged-goods giant, has introduced its first national TV ad campaign amid increasing attacks on its namesake founders, the billionaire conservative brothers Charles and David Koch.
The ad will air Wed June 11.
The campaign, which promotes the company's American heritage and job creation without referencing the Koch brothers themselves, is part of a larger recruiting effort, said Steve Lombardo, chief communications and marketing officer for Koch since February. The company created his role as part of the overall push to boost its communications resources.
The ultimate goal is to "tell a story about who we are" to potential employees as well as businesses and people in local communities in which the company operates, he added.The ad strikes me as being very corporate establishment, much like the commercials put out by the war profiteer, G "We bring good things to life."

The mainstream media's masks has fallen off and they can be seen for what they are... an extortion racket. If you don't want your companies pharmaceuticals to get bad press, then buy advertising on their "news" programs. If you don't want your candidate to get completed mud covered, then buy some protection in the form of paid television spots.
ReplyDeleteThe Koch's know what side of the bread is buttered. I imagine they will have to buy there own television network soon.
