“Marketing’s job is never done. It’s about perpetual motion. We must continue to innovate every day.”

Whether B2B or B2C, I believe passionately that good marketing essentials are the same. We all are emotional beings looking for relevance, context and connection.

Be where the world is going.

Business model innovation is constant in this economy. You start with a vision of a platform. For a while, you think there’s a line of sight, and then it’s gone. There’s suddenly a new angle.

We seek to be as nimble as a startup.

B2B does not mean boring marketing.

Marketing is about innovation.

There is always room in our budget for a little experimentation.

Know thyself. Know the customer. Innovate.

Our job is to understand where the market is heading and translate that into practical action.

The more passionate that someone is about something, the more you have to listen to them.

An idea doesn’t count if you can’t use it

You can’t sell anything if you can’t tell anything.

Mind share before market share.

There is a shotgun wedding going on and its between Marketing and IT. Finance’s worst nightmare

I was working in a church in Florida as a youth intern, which means I really didn’t do much other than staple stuff.

A job is not a career. I think I started out with a job. It turned into a career and changed my life.

It is safe to say that the U.S. Congress is now run by paid staffers, not by people elected to do the job.

The psychological trauma of losing a job can be as great as the trauma of a divorce. It creates a lot of anger and emotional hardship. People may become quite depressed.

no job, no matter how lowly, is truly ‘unskilled.

I learned to produce whether I wanted to or not. It would be easy to say oh, I have writer’s block, oh, I have to wait for my muse. I don’t. Chain that muse to your desk and get the job done.
