Question James Caan?? Advert saturation?

Apologies for any non UK viewers, as I assume Mr Caan is geotargeting his campaign to the UK only, but is Mr Caan (Dragons Den Entrepreneur) spending his entire wealth on adwords?

It seems where ever I go, he seems to pop up, touting his biz academy. Now don't get me wrong, I think he's a great dragon, and obviously a shrewd businessman, but is there such a thing as over advertising???

I wonder when it does it come the point when you hard earned marketing budget starts working against you? Obviously a very successful adwords campaign, but it's starting to get a bit waery seeing his mug pop up everywhere

Or is he just stalking me personally

I have also seen him all over the place. I think he is touting talks. I think we see too much of the dragons den people. They are flogging evreything.

It might be just me, but I would like to make a million, and just disapear in the background for nobody to know who I am. If I had loads of money I wouldn't trade my privacy.

When you become a celebrity millionaire it must become addictive.
more money > more celebrity status > more money > more celebrity status

He's making a fortune from his business academy.

And it's all going back into the Monaco economy

This is why the population wants to get on TV.

Look at the Sarah Beeny brand - she's setup afew income streams off the back of her TV presence.

but does it water down his creditability - did Peter Jones need to do the money supermarket advert - ok it beefed up his coffers a bit but did he need to lower himself?

If - no when i become ( ) a millonaire i wont be branding myself with a comparison website - im with scootek - disapear with my 0000000's in the bank or invested in a nice big house with all the boys toys you can imagine for my family
