It's fascinating how Patagonia's "Don't buy this jacket" campaign actually boosted sales. It's a perfect example of how authenticity in marketing can be incredibly powerful. By aligning their messaging with their core values, they've created a brand that people trust and want to support. However, it does raise the question: If their goal is truly to reduce consumption, are they succeeding? Or have they just found a clever way to sell more while appearing environmentally conscious?

Well that's really a tough question one can never predict accurately what companies are trying to do are they really environment concious - I don't think anyone would give 1% revenue if they are not. On the other hand one can also not predict that they have done a very clever marketing or this was just an incident.
