Explain Marketing in 700 Characters or Less

A Professor was asked to explain Marketing to MBA students in 700 characters or less.

 The Professor said,

"Marketing can be summarised by these 6 scenarios:

1. You see a gorgeous girl at a party, you go to her and say, “I’m rich, marry me!”    That's Direct Marketing
2. You attend a party and your friend goes to a girl, and, pointing at you, tells her, “He’s very rich, marry him.”    That's Advertising
3. A Girl walks up to you and says “You’re rich, can you marry me?”           That's Brand Recognition
4. You say to a gorgeous girl, “I’m very rich marry me,” and she slaps you.   That's Customer Feedback
5. You say to a girl, “I’m very rich marry me,” and she introduces you to her husband.    That's Demand & Supply Gap
6. Before you can say, “I’m rich, marry me,” your wife arrives.           That's Restriction from Entering a New Market"

I cannot, claim credit for the above. I have adapted it from a number of posts on various platforms on the internet over the last few years. Nor have I discovered the name of the witty original author.
