Satellite Today
Consumers are streaming Over-the-Top (OTT) content everywhere — from cruise ships to bathroom stalls on airplanes.

Disruptor Marketing: Five-No-Fail Marketing Strategies
Forbes
Marketing leaders at disruptive companies are often surprised when the world doesn’t love them straight out of the gate. Here’s the thing: People don’t like change. Incumbent product, service and solution providers will be particularly hostile to change. And industry thought leaders won’t always be ambassadors of change, either.

Why Nurturing is Broken and Three Easy Fixes
Forbes
Marketing automation is great and has allowed marketers to manage marketing to prospects in ways that were never possible before. However, for all of the advancements, there are drawbacks as well. As marketers, we have gotten so focused on our nurture streams that sometimes we forget to consider how our prospective clients become interested in our products and services in the first place. We talk about buyer journeys, segmentation and personas, but ultimately forget to think about what it would…

How the Satellite Industry Will Change the Way We Communicate
Forbes
Sixty years ago, Dwight D. Eisenhower was the U.S. president, Elvis Presley released the single “Jailhouse Rock,” Mickey Mantle hit his 200th career home run, Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1957 and the USSR launched Sputnik I, the first artificial Earth satellite.
Having been in the technology and communications industries for over 25 years, I’ve seen a lot of changes, but none as earth-shattering as what we are on the verge of now.

Three Keys to Doing Marketing Transparency Just Right
Forbes
In marketing, we are often asked to put lipstick on a pig. Yet with the dawn of social media and review sites, the lipstick is easily smeared. So, how transparent should marketing be? There’s a fine line between oversharing and sharing just the right amount of detail in public forums. Let’s face it, as marketers, we are damned if we do and damned if we don’t. We can’t afford to ignore this excellent marketing strategy, but what is the best way to increase the accuracy and openness of our…

We can’t afford to ignore this excellent marketing strategy, but what is the best way to increase the accuracy and openness of our marketing efforts?
While people know marketing tends to highlight the best of a product or service and downplay the less flattering aspects, marketers must remember there are an abundance of places where customers can share their experiences with a few taps on their smartphone.

As its foundation, the package included an eight-page microsite with six targeted technology-specific messages, seamlessly blending HP technical content with Logicalis’ cloud, communications and collaboration and data center solutions and skill set information. Traffic was driven to the microsite by a series of six customer-facing emails and a call-to-action that offered a free downloadable e-Book to attract prospective clients to the site and capture their names and emails as they requested the eBook download. The eBook, “Elements of Design: How the Data Center of Today Can Be the Data Center for Tomorrow,” is strictly a thought-leadership piece without a sales-focused agenda, making it something of value to clients for them to download, read and share throughout their organizations. -
