Marketing to puke by

Who writes this utter gush-filled drivel? At what point did the highly paid Marketing gurus lose touch with how to address poker players & the modern public generally?
I've seen so many examples recently. Here's a beaut that arrived in my inbox overnight. For the record I have no problem with any of the parties involved. Except their marketing teams.
Do people really buy this?
This one involved Boris Becker becoming a Brand Ambassador for Kings Casino & GG Poker. Read & weep.
“I am thrilled to work with GGPoker and King’s and am looking forward to competing with players around the world on the very best poker platform,” said Boris Becker. “With the WSOP Super Circuit Online Series just around the corner, I’m hoping to add a WSOP Circuit ring to my Grand Slam wins!”
Jean-Christophe Antoine, Head of GGPoker, said, “The addition of both a sporting great like Boris and a respected poker brand like King’s to the GGPoker roster means we continue to go from strength to strength.” He added, “Everyone is well aware of what a fierce competitor Boris is on the court, and I expect to see the same spirit when he hits the tables!”
“We are honored to announce our partnership with GGPoker, the most ambitious online operator right now,” continued Leon Tsoukernik, owner of King’s Resort. “Their software is incredibly innovative and evolutive, yet still convenient for amateur players, with many amazing and exclusive features. We are very excited with the support of my friend and poker legend ElkY to combine forces with GGPoker. This gives all of our players the best platform and the very best offers.”

Btw ElkY just been tested positive for covid but he's asymptomatic
( I may have misheard)
We can see why they want to appeal to players outside of the poker bubble, it makes perfect sense, but Boris Becker & Kevin Hart....
The point, though, is those oh-so-gushy pressers. Jeez, not sure they could have been written worse. They try to impress us by saying Becker has poker tournament winnings of over $100,000, but he was a Brand Ambassador at 'Stars for years & was put into all the big tourneys across the globe. Think he also had a similar role at Party for a while too?
WOW where do I sign?
I mean, who on earth buys that guff these days?
And I thought you were down with the kids @Tikay10
Sales. For people who can't sell
Katie Price as a Sky Poker ambassador perhaps. I would really look forward to her erudite and sage musings on the validity of the 4 bet shove on an un co-ordinated flop.
