how to market to geeks.

How to Mar­ket to Geeks.

1. Start at the bot­tom of the cor­po­rate food chain. The further down, the bet­ter.
2. For­get about the “deci­sion makers”. Con­nect with the “thin­kers”- that’s the way for­ward in this new age of ours.
3. If in doubt, go read this. from an IBM employee.

[Full Disc­lo­sure: I own equity in Thin­gamy.]

    Depends whether we’re tal­king abso­lute bot­tom or rela­tive bottom…

    Wow! I acc­tually have something like this going on. And I’m in the movie making busi­ness! So natu­rally I get exci­ted when my favou­rite muse starts thin­king about geeks.
    My pro­ject builds on the ques­tion:
    “Could a sin­gle movie ope­ning scene set free grow into something wow! By brin­ging toghe­ter geeks all over the world to do their thing. Using only the inter­net and blogs?”
    I will tell you much much more about it in next week.
