“If you are a marketing professional who wants to reach your buyers directly, you will likely encounter resistance from corporate communications people.

They’ll say the old rules are still in play. They’ll say you have to focus on “the four P’s”. They’ll say you need to talk only about your products. They’ll say that the media is the only way to tell your story and that you can use press releases only to reach journalists, not your buyers directly.

They’ll say that bloggers are geeks in pajamas who don’t matter. They are wrong.”
