Why Weak Marketing Foundations Are Killing Your Business

I've just launched a new YouTube channel!! The concept? I take real businesses struggling to stand the f*ck out, provide my positioning/branding/lead gen help, and record it all for YouTube. The first mini-series features three freelance marketers (copywriter Rob, ecommerce designer Laura, and non-fiction book coach Vicky).I hope you'll set aside half an hour to watch it through. Maybe with your morning coffee? Or lunch break? Or evening onion soup? And then, the usual "Subscribe, Like, Share" would go a long, long way too.https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdNXaHHVnVntg5gpveB-5_Q***Today I’m talking to Dan Kaplan, a former magazine journalist turned product marketer who is now a marketing consultant with Exponents in Silicon Valley.Dan is fighting for marketing to be great again, for the first time.
