I created an app called marketing app which customizes messages to be written on top of website page. My problem is that these messages are not showing when everything is configured and I don't know why is that might be the template because {{ marketing_message.message}} is only not showing

This is the model of the Marketing App

class MarketingMessage(models.Model):
message = models.CharField(max_length=120)
active = models.BooleanField(default=False)
featured = models.BooleanField(default=False)
timestamp = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True, auto_now=False)
updated = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=False, auto_now=True)
start_date = models.DateTimeField(
auto_now_add=False, auto_now=False, null=True, blank=True)
end = models.DateTimeField(
auto_now_add=False, auto_now=False, null=True, blank=True)

def __str__(self):
return str(self.message[:12])

this is the views for the core app:

class HomeView(ListView):
model = Item
paginate_by = 10
template_name = "home.html"

def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
context = super(HomeView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
context['marketing_message'] = MarketingMessage.objects.all()

this is the template:
{% if marketing_message %}
<div class="alert alert-light" style="padding-top:80px; margin-bottom:-24px">
<a href="#" class="close" data-dismiss="alert">×</a>
<div class="container" style="text-align:center">
<strong>Marketing Message ! : </strong> {{ marketing_message.message}}
</div>
</div>
{% endif %}

This is the admin.py of marketing

from django.contrib import admin
from .models import MarketingMessage
# Register your models here.


class MarketingMessageAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
class Meta:
model = MarketingMessage


admin.site.register(MarketingMessage, MarketingMessageAdmin)


return context

In templates , you need to loop through marketing_message because its not a single object its a query result
