   Thanks.  I thought that version worked pretty well, but I wasn't sure.   
   I imagine they were aiming for harmless inspirational pablum.   
      
   Since the classic comments by Bill Hicks on marketing aren't   
   anagrammatical, let's go with this instead:   
     Ad campaigns = Cads map gain.   
      
   And these:   
      
     A sales and marketing concept:   
     Accept garments and snake oil.   
      
     Or naked gal etc. as men's catnip   
      
     Tackiest crap and neon gleams   
      
     Nasal pee, Giant Cock-Sander (tm), ...   
      
   There are plenty of other winning marketing concepts in those letters,   
   I'm sure.   
      
      
   > #JustDrinkTheKoolAide   
      
   Indeed.   
      
     Drink the Kool-Aid =   
     Look, ID Darth Nike.   
      
     Nike talk hid OD, or ~ 'Drink the Kool-Aid!'
