Innovative Marketing
Fidelity Investment has tried their hands in various innovative marketing techniques; one of them was targeted towards the ageing baby boomers. Under this, the company recently released Never Stop Doing What You Love, a compilation of songs by Paul McCartney. The album is not for sale and was created by the company's employees and clients. The former Beatle band member became Fidelity's new spokesperson in a campaign entitled 'this is Paul' in the year 2005. On the day when the disc was released the employees got a recorded message from Paul that urged them to 'never stop doing what you love'.
