Last night at the rugby match with the Queensland Reds and the NSW Warratah’s, I was lucky enough to spend some time chatting to the Marketing Manager at Qantas. After chatting for half an hour, I realised that not only is this man a great marketer, but he is also a skilled communicator. So, I enlisted his communications skills for an upcoming regional Marketing Conference in Townsville to be held in early June 2011.
Other great marketers, may not actually be marketers at all… they are often entrepreneurs who when they start their businesses, can’t afford a marketing manager, so they learn the skills they need to promote their companies by reading books, talking to people, watching what others do and going to conferences.
If you are a small business in Townsville, Charters Towers, Ingham, Ayr, Home Hill, Bowen, Innisfail, Tully or Cairns… send me an email on This email address is being protected from spambots.

P.S. If you like this marketing blog, then please feel free to share it on whatever social network medium you see fit. We love facebook, twitter and linkedin!

Actually that is very true! Not all so called "marketers" are actually good marketers..is that because they are some what ho hum about achieving results on other people's behalf (some of them are!) where as business people that HAVE to make their business work are more likely to learn it as you say!
