Marketing Is Definitely Not A Boring Business

I’d like to share 2 videos i watched recently that i really really enjoyed. Those two videos are proof that marketing is not boring at all, and it is possible to have fun! In the first video you’ll see that Seth Godin definitely has a good sense of humour and is a great speaker. ;)

This video is about 20 minutes long (i watched it on Matthew Sherbornes‘ blog), and the second one around 4 minutes.

The second video demonstrate something really interesting and useful: when your are talking to your customers, or writing new ads or working on other aspects of your marketing campaigns, you have to make sure you get your message across and it is understandable.

Seems we all live in different realities, so sometimes, what you say may be (mis-)interpreted by the other person or by your customers or by whoever you are talking to (i had a laugh watching this one too!)

“what is important for you, may not seem important at all to the other person”

Hope you enjoyed :)

Jonathan,

Thanks a lot, pal. Like I really had 25 minutes to sit at my desk laughing yet telling people that I’m working on market research… ;)~

Great stuff. Seth is as funny as he is ingenious, and the second video was as shocking as it was hilarious!

Thanks for sharing!

Hey Jonathan,

That second video had my jaw dropping to the floor, what a great find. That was the best laugh I’ve had all day.

Thanks a lot for the plug : ) Great blog too!

Seth is a really good speaker. And funny.

The second video is great. The way two people, (especially between men and women) see things differently is always good for a chuckle

Hey Shane, glad you liked the videos! Yeah, makes me thing i should try writing different ads (one for the guyz and one for the galz) and see if it improves my ROI ;)
