Summary
Marketing isn't advertising. Marketing is the honest attempt of solving a relevant problem. With this honed perspective, I've been helping medium- and large-scale-enterprises to create business value by developing new digital products and business models as well as finding and unlocking additional markets and target audiences. To me, marketing is a way of thinking, not a discipline.
