What, for example, do the people who have glanced at that PDF brochure think is being marketed there? Is it biodiversity, a strategy for marketing biodiversity, or an advertising agency? Assuming, as I do, that it is the ad agency, I would suggest that this marketing campaign is at least partially a failure, because we here are talking about the strategy rather than about the clever folks who came up with the strategy.
On the other hand, it could be called a success, because discussion of the virtues of a particular advertising agency would not otherwise take place here.
