I guess that I consider him more a master of promoting his own "projects" and less a marketer working to advertise "cars, movies and soda". He definitely knew how to get press though and wasn't afraid to buy it or manipulate it. I wonder what he'd do with the internet - I'm almost scared to imagine :) @Mike – good point about PT Barnum!

I've spoken with Steve about the Suspending belief panel and I think it will also discuss the role of "fiction" in marketing, which is very different from "lying" or "deception." Not a hot-button issue for storytellers, but a big one for the advertising industry, which flocks to concepts like "transparency" without really thinking about what that means and what it's role is within the larger landscape.
