This document describes a proposed mobile game called "Marketing Ass" where the player takes on the role of a marketing executive trying to climb the corporate ladder at their company. The game would involve various levels simulating office politics and marketing meetings, requiring the player to schmooze colleagues, interrupt opponents, and keep rhythm to please the boss. While the game aims to be entertaining and humorous, the document notes it may be unacceptable in some countries or cultures and would require modifications to interaction and mechanics depending on the target audience.
