  • I mean I’m kidding around, but really, most of the time we’re making a product to sell, and then selling the product to make more of it (or a new/better version of it) so that we can sell it more… so we can make it more… to sell more…

    Its just all part of the same cycle. The OP meme could equally be:

    Sales/Marketing: I made this sale

    […]

    Product: I made this sale.

    its bullshit all the way down.



  • I mean you CAN just get an evening marketing job, 8-5 engineering, half hour break, 5.30-1:30am writing marketing copy, designing campaigns, A/B testing, budget management, demand gen, lead gen, sales enablement, CRO/CPC/CAC management, Martech tool alignment, attribution tracking, SEO research, content marketing, press releases and 3P distribution tools, all of which matched against brand voice and targeting to ABM the specific ICP within each vertical.

    There’s literally nothing stopping you.




  • as a writer/artist/performer - I disagree with Lucas. There are many parts at which each artist - whether actor, scene painter, LX, director or producer has to relinquish their control over their work and let it be.

    It’s more commonly heard in theatre: the tradition of opening night being the point where the director relinquished control and now it’s the actors show is very passionately held. If things go wrong and need fixing then the Stage Manager steps in, but otherwise it’s no longer the directors purview.

    In film the director over sees editing and may even have a hand in distribution- but once an audience sees it - it’s now the directors work (past tense) and - regardless of capitalistic machinations w/r/t copyright, licensing, distribution- the art (present tense) now only exists in the reception of the audience, as you can’t experience a movie without watching it - therefore the act of watching the movie is the experience of the movie - therefore it is the audience’s domain.
