I can’t speak for the Phillipines, but I see so many sites that were clearly built for designers who had a great “vision” but who lacked the marketing know-how to create something profitable.

I think you’re right about bridging that gap.

Well said Carlo, That’s what I’ve noticed here in the Philippines. We need more marketers as opposed to just programmer, lots of websites are being built without the knowledge of SEO.

It’s great that people are finally coming to realize this hole.

Thanks for sharing Carlo

When I was still part of my previous shop, our project leaders are not actually marketers or techie people. Our shop’s strategy is to employ managers with social skills and rounded personalities but just happen to know a great deal about how technology and creatives work.

And to help marketers understand change that evolves in the internet space, specially with Web 2.0, it will also be helpful for them to accept the fact that they don’t control the message anymore. Websites that do one way communication are not that efficient in today’s market. Conversations now rule the internet wave.

By the way, that book was a nice read. Got it also from a friend from a conference. Nice post Carlo!

THanks!
