You've just demonstrated that both Directors and VPs can be
ding-a-lings. ;) (*Can*, not "are by definition")
Seriously, in some situations boot-licking will take you at *least* to
the point that you're Peter Principled. In other situations, it won't,
but working hard where your boss's boss can see you, and solving a
problem that's been around for a few *years*, may do wonders. But, I
imagine that in some places in marketing, people are constantly trying
to market themselves to higher-ups. (I have very little experience with
people in marketing departments, and some of what I *do* have is
somewhat negative, but that may have more to do with someone's attempt
at empire-building than it being the marketing department.)
