Well put. I Agree. Fully. Good marketers start conversations. Perhaps more. They start conversations people might actually care about. Resonate with. Find a reason to connect with. Too often marketing speak is just that. Speak. Marketers would do well to listen. Host a conversation and then get out of the way. Consumers tune most of it out, unless it matters. And as you've indicated, most marketing is most interesting to marketers. Not their audience.
