Post-truth Marketing

Post-truth. 2016 word of the year by Oxford Dictionaries. We have seen it at work in British and US politics. What does its mean for business and marketing? Do we maintain our rigorous advertising standards? Of course we should. We must be guided by a higher code of ethics and the fact that customers are far less forgiving of untruths related to their consumables, than they are with politicians "who have always lied". That said, if Facebook and Google don't take it seriously, Post-truth will cloud the world of marketing.
