no it's not.
it's rubbish.

It's not that important because a good product sells itself.
The design department is always the first to be cut out when a business is in a bind.

I agree of what JazX said...

"...and implicitly endorsing, a mental environment so saturated with commercial messages that it is changing the very way citizen-consumers speak, think, feel, respond and interact.
