Got Marketing? Really?
Marketing is different from--and critical to--"making a sale". Like television and radio, the world wide web has mostly "bad", or mediocre, sites and advice on the subject. Lots of digital snake oil salesmen, new age know-it-alls, and semi-employed "experts" who've never heard a shot fired in anger. But the Internet still has a few stars, early adventurers, and doers that do make it worth swimming through the trash while the Net gets its sea legs.
If you are serious about internet marketing, see Chris Abraham's The Marketing Conversation. We know Chris, and his partner Mark Harrison, well. We have profited from our relationship on a nearly daily basis since February 2004. They "get", and making a living, using the Internet to influence in creative, ethical and successful ways. See Abraham & Harrison, based in Berlin, Germany and Washington, D.C.
Twenty-two employees in five countries, and all working hard. Did they ask us for this post? Answer: No. We rarely promote anyone, especially if we are asked. But we do love quality.

Dan, thank you. I don't know what to say other than that. I am much obliged. And surprised. It had never occurred to us to ask.

You guys deserve it. Hey. It's 8 PM in CA. If you are in DC, you should be out having fun. If Berlin, you should be out having fun.
