Welcome to the Marketing Comic. I love marketing. And I am passionate about the customer. In my book the customer is always right. And having worked in marketing for a long time now and in a variety of different sectors, and since I think I know it all, I thought I would share of my thoughts, opinions and learnings with a wider audience. Hopefully you will find what I write interesting, thought provoking, useful and entertaining. Please let me know what you think by adding your comments to my thoughts. THESE WEIRD THOUGHTS ARE MINE AND MINE ALONE......no one else would have them!
