The emergence of the novel coronavirus in late 2019 marked the beginning of a massive social, business and economic upheaval. By March 2020, entire industries were shutting down. Many millions of people were left without jobs, and hundreds of millions more were instructed to work from home. Within the tech industry, companies mobilized to respondRead more

Some Thoughts about Marketing in a Down Economy

By Karen Dabaghian | Marketing, Silicon Valley | 0 comment | 19 May, 2020 | 0

I realize women are expected to hem and haw about their age, but I’m 50 years old and not at all bummed about it. Frankly, being of a certain age has tangible benefits. I’m tempted to plagiarize Farmers Insurance and say something about resilience and “having seen a thing or two,” but I won’t (asRead more

By Marianna Vyridi | Communications, Marketing, Social | 0 comment | 13 May, 2020 | 0

Don’t Let COVID-19 Turn Your Company into a Newsroom Joke

By Charlie Cooper | Communications, Marketing, Media + Influencers | 0 comment | 3 April, 2020 | 0

There are times to pitch reporters during a crisis and then there are times to stay far, far away. As the world copes with the coronavirus outbreak and its social, business and policy impacts, there are very few “other” stories for the time being. Reporters don’t want to hear about whizzbang new widgets or version 3.X of your SaaSRead more

Positioning and messaging are *not* the same thing

By Tim Marklein | Communications, Content Marketing, Marketing, Strategy, Strategy + Positioning | 0 comment | 21 January, 2020 | 0

I’ve met with a bunch of startups and larger companies recently that say they need “messaging” help. They typically have some core messaging developed as part of a pitch deck, web site or marketing collateral, but it wasn’t developed in a structured way to guide a broader set of communications across various channels and disciplines.Read more

Customer References: B2B Tech’s Most Enduring Clusterf***

By David Bailey | Big Valley, Communications, Content Marketing, Marketing, Silicon Valley | 1 comment | 19 September, 2019 | 2

Why Do So Few Break Through? When I started out in tech in the Valley, we were still producing physical clip reports using x-acto knives and Elmer’s paste.
