Vector Marketing 

Vector Marketing is considered the sales arm of Alcas Corporation. They have been reported to the Attorney Generals office which is presently reviewing complaints. The entity Vector Marketing has received over 100 employee complaints (exact number not given). It appears they like to target students in particular for jobs.

Vector Marketing is a company that targets students nationwide to sell Cutco kitchen knives with in-home demonstrations. They are encouraged to sell to their family and friends to start out with and are pretty successful in the beginning, since it's easy to sell to people that care about you and feel obligated to help out. But after that they must rely on referrals, which can be difficult since not too many people want to let stangers into their house to get a sales pitch on knife sets that typically cost several hundred dollars.
Vector Marketing has been doing this for years deceiving tens of thousands of young students and a group called Students Against Vector Exploitation (SAVE) is getting together because they are not going to take it anymore.

Barkering 

barker

2. The doorman at a strip club who gets you into the club without telling you the real price of the drinks. Or a person that hypes you into a deal without disclosing the true cost of entry.
That bourbon street barker got me into the club, and his barkering cost me big time. He's a barker convincing me it would cost $20, but once he got me inside it cost me $100.

Barkering 

Verbally pretending by deceit to induce someone into a situation where the Barker knows a concealment but seduces the unknowing person into a situation with a fast talk and false bravado.
He sold me with his confident barkering and I failed to see he was just a fraud that caused me problems.

murketing 

A viral marketing tactic where misdirection is key. Corporations often simulate user-generated content to manufacture a "must see" phenomenon. Once circulated extensively, the company will reveal itself as the source in an attempt to re-examine the purpose of the video. Often meant to blur the line between art and commerce.
Phil: Holy shit, did you see that video where those guys use cell phones to pop their popcorn???
Ad man:Yes son, that's the just the latest in murketing. Now go visit xxxxxx's website to reward them for exploiting your stupidity.

Marketing Department 

A bunch of mindless jerks who'll be the first up against the wall when the revolution comes.
The revolution is coming, so I recommended to Jenny that she move out of the marketing department. She laughed at me. Well, my conscience is clear.

Bolshevik Marketing

When you tell the consumer what they "aught" to want, instead of delivering them a product they actually do want.
In an attempt at Bolshevik Marketing, EA Game's chief design officer Patrick Soderlund says not to buy Battlefield 5 if you aren't woke enough.
