"Marketing isn’t inherently good or evil" in the same way bombs aren't inherently good or evil.

What about when charities engage in marketing to solve the dire needs of millions, are they being evil?

advertising/marketing is manipulative/evil

That's called marketing.

Bombs are used to mine stuff or build roads, they aren't evil either.
