Marketing Roadsigns
the e-newsletter companion to the Marketing Roadmaps blog

Greetings!
Welcome to the second issue of Marketing Roadsigns, the companion newsletter to GetGood Strategic Marketing's weblog, Marketing Roadmaps.

Posting on the blog was light in July due to a fairly hectic travel and work schedule. The highlights are pretty much all the "lights" this month :-) Our report on the "new" Magic Quadrant will have to wait until next month. Instead, I'll share some of my impressions of the first women's blogging conference held July 30th in Santa Clara Calif.

I hope you enjoy Marketing Roadsigns. Thanks for reading!

Marketing & PR posts - July 2005
The posts from the Roadmap featured this month.

I focused on two main topics: podcasting and customer blogging. The customer blogging material is based on a panel presentation I gave at blogher about Multiple Choice, the customer written blog I developed for educational software firm Software Secure this spring.

Podcasting Information
Some podcasts and podcast resources you should check out. Some business, some for fun.

Sales/Marketing Resources
Websites and weblogs of note
Since I have just returned from blogher, this month I will feature sales, marketing and industry blogs written by women.

Blogher Report
Blogher is the most unique conference I have ever attended. It was started as a grassroots effort by three Silicon Vally based women who were dismayed, like many of us, that the most well-known bloggers, the so-called A-list, were by and large white men. Where were all the women bloggers? They proposed a one-day conference to assemble women bloggers of all types -- political, personal/identity (including mommy bloggers), reporters, high tech, marketing, industry, international etc etc. The response was HUGE, and they pulled it off.

I will blog more about the event itself on the Roadmap later this month. The takeaway I want to share with Roadsigns readers is this: you can accomplish just about any goal with the proper

  • strategy
  • planning
  • execution
  • COMMITMENT
If something is REALLY worth doing, you will make the time, find the money and get it done. Until next month....
