There’s something all too appropriate about a strategist for a bland and uninteresting presidential candidate whose only virtue is that she is the 800 lb gorilla in the room because of her name recognition…
…going to work for a bland and uninteresting company whose only virtue is being the 800 lb gorilla in the room because of its name recognition.
Hillary Clinton could be said to be the Microsoft of presidential candidates, boring, poorly designed, prone to crashes and desperately pretending to be cooler than she is.
Microsoft is losing its monopolistic grip on the computer marketplace and Hillary Clinton is losing her grip on the candidacy.
Microsoft chief executive Satya Nadella has made his first move to leave a mark on the tech giant by brining changes to the senior leadership team.
In the total shakeup, Nadella moved Mark Penn, former strategist for Hillary Clinton, from his advertising duties to focus exclusively on strategy.
According to the Washington Post, Penn was serving as Microsoft’s executive vice president of advertising and strategy before the shake up.
For Washingtonians, Penn’s appointment is of particular interest, following his time on the Clinton presidential campaign and his subsequent resignation after his public relations work raised conflict-of-interest issues, the report said.
According to the report, during his year and half at Microsoft, Penn helped the firm use his penchant for negative advertising against tech competitors.
What a shock. And how well has that worked out for Microsoft? Users still like Windows 8 almost as much as they like Hillary.
