                                      BBC | “US services see September growth” | 10/5/2009
“even if the recession miraculously ended tomorrow,
  economists estimate that at least three years would
pass before full employment returned and output rose
  enough for the economy to operate at full throttle.”
                                         Louis Uchitelle
                                             New York Times

“We and others are funding start-ups
 as slowly as possible, or not at all.”
                      Howard Anderson
                             Founding Partner

the frustration with the economy:

 “We played by the rules,
  but the rules changed.”
                    Mary Tuttle, Pittsburg
                             NYT Letter to the Editor
                                     April 10, 2009
the frustration with the marketing:

You can play by the rules,
 but the rules changed.
traditional marketing doesn’t
      work for start-ups.
consumers have more choices
and less time.




                  and less time.

start-ups don’t have
robust marketing budgets.

  you only have one option:

           OUT-THINK
     my philosophy that smart
  and sound strategy is the best
 policy to battle those who can
out-spend you and your company
{ OUT-THINK}
            OUT-THINK
      the philosophy to live by,
because there will always come a day
   when someone else (competitor, ex-lover, etc.)
         can out-spend you.
let’s start with the basics.



                  Startup Marketing: Getting Off The Ground Floor | Sean Omalley and http://www.flickr. http://www.flickr.com/photos/sgw/
what is marketing?
“Marketing is the activity, set of institutions, and
processes for creating, communicating, delivering,
  and exchanging offerings that have value for
customers, clients, partners, and society at large.”
                         -American Marketing Association




                                           http://www.marketingpower.com/AboutAMA/Pages/DefinitionofMarketing.aspx
but the better question is,
what is new marketing?
new marketing revolves
  around relationships
   (just as marketing has forever)
more specifically,
      new marketing
     revolves around
  relationships between
  consumers and brands
and relationships between
consumers and consumers
3 great reads, that I’m
about to mention and draw from:

                        Based on The Brand Gap | Marty Neumeier
