Almost all of marketing today is zero-sum.

Going to disagree there. Marketing and sales can grow a market, not just compete for a limited pool.

It can, but I doubt it's the case for most marketing effort. Besides, my point is that marketing is one of the areas where there is a nigh-unlimited room for whole classes of bullshit jobs.
