Come On In


Welcome to the Wreathian web log. We will be posting all sorts of thoughts, observations, news, and articles about marketing and communications. We are pretty busy with the actual work of bootstrapping our way into existence right now, but we are doing our best to begin and maintain a living, breathing dialogue.

Our goals are...

1. Interesting and insightful. We may not change the world every day, but that certainly will not stop us from trying.
2. Easy to read. With a little practice, we may even achieve "pithy".
3. Community. Come to learn. Stay to contribute. This is an open conversation, after all.
4. Point of view. You may not like it, but preference is no obstacle for the truth. Besides, original is captivating.

Thanks, in advance, for checking us out and staying in touch.

Oh yes, and remember to sign up for an RSS, Atom, or e-mail feed!

"I don't think our customers will go for that, and without them we'd never be able to afford to try this." 6. "It's fantastic, but the salesforce won't like it." 7. "The salesforce is willing to give it a try, but [insert major retailer/corporation/partner here] won't stock it." 8. "There are government regulations and this won't be permitted." 9. "Well, this might work for other people, but I think we'll stick with what we've got." 10. "Our team doesn't have the technical chops to do this." 11. "Maybe in the next b

The Great Firewall Of China

When considering how important it is to preserve the neutrality of the internet, chew on these observations about what China and Iran are already doing. Communism and capitalism are coming increasingly close together when it comes to regulating content that should otherwise be free and freely accessible. What would it have been like if you had to pay for certain, designated books at the library when you were growing up? Try to imagine Ted Turner in one of Kim Jong-Il's jumpsuits....
