The same can be said of marketing, yet people try it anyway. Unlike many professions, such as a lawyer whose expertise might keep you out of jail or a pilot whose abilities deliver you safely to your destination – marketing may seem to be a less risky do-it-yourself project. However, over time, a haphazard execution of an incomplete marketing plan may result in lost sales, decreased brand loyalty and a weakened brand image.
Marketing can be tricky and full of hidden traps and opportunities to make a wrong turn. So if you choose to venture into the marketing maelstrom without a trusted guide – good luck. You’all need it. But if you follow the tips in this book of humorous marketing observations and advice, you’ll be off to a good start.
About the Author
When a classically trained chef is subjected to working in a grade school cafeteria or an artist makes his or her living painting houses, you may get an occasional tater tot flambé or an unsolicited mural – but the end result is likely to be frustration and despair. The same can be said of writers.
Roger Hicks is an award-winning creative writer who must often shelve his conversational, humorous writing style for cold, informative corporate communication. Fortunately, Roger found a creative outlet in writing humorous yet informative blogs for Electrum Branding that educate as well as entertain.
Over the years, his blogs have covered a broad range of branding and marketing topics. But, whatever the subject, the content is always brief, informative, easy-to-read, often times humorous – but always entertaining.
In addition to being Electrum Branding’s President, Roger is an Addy-award-winning copywriter, integrated online marketing specialist and certified social media professional. Although a world traveler (30 countries visited so far), his roots are firmly in South Florida where he lives with his husband Don and their boxer Gidget.
