I suspect that the only one of you that would be any good working for me is Poppet.
And I'm not sure I trust her not to accidentally bring deathspiders across in her luggage.

I don't really "do" having bosses so that's a moot point.

I'm not sure how well marketing works in my field
but give it 10 years and it'll probably be necessary. Which is quite fucking depressing really.

OG is in marketing.
It strikes me as being mostly making things look pretty. Which, surely, is a pink job.

It's convincing people they can't survive without something that they actually have no need for
My brother's terrifying good at it.

A lot of people get marketing and advertising mixed up.
It's a lot more analytical than people think.

Sounds bent and makes me believe marketers just play at colouring in all day.

It's not really totally getting them "mixed up" though
is it? because they blur into the same thing in the middle.

At the end of the day, it's the group of people that are concerned with convincing customers to buy things or services, just done in different ways.

Marketing is identifying a need and fulfilling it.
Advertising is trying to sell something that already exists.
Slightly different sides to the same coin, I guess.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Mon 25 Mar 2013, 14:49, Reply)

surely you can "market" a product that already exists?

( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Mon 25 Mar 2013, 14:49, Reply)

semantically, no.
As 'marketing' isn't the same as 'taking something to market'.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Mon 25 Mar 2013, 14:50, Reply)

semantically, it's all a load of horseshit though, so that's not really that relevant.

Well, that's alright then.

I just struggle to see there's any distinct divide if you need semantics to separate the two.
