The cult of Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs’s combination of success and secrecy endeared him to people across the world, who mourned his death in public.
Even before Steve Jobs passed away, his cult of personality loomed large over Apple.
When it was announced that he’d be stepping down, analysts worried that the company would flounder without him.
But his death crystallised both his status as a cult figure and his legacy to a company in transition.
Steve Jobs narrates “Here’s to the Crazy Ones” from 1997 (never before aired).
This is digital marketing gold, and I can’t wait to see what else they release…
RIP Steve Jobs
