It’s boring because it’s a chore.
…all passion is drained out of it

It’s a chore because it takes too long.

It takes too long because it’s made by a committee.
6
It’s made by a committee because everyone is frightened.

Everyone is frightened because they don’t want to fail.

The result is a lot of professional, credible, well-made turds.

Tech marketing needs Velocity.

The five rules of Marketing Velocity
• No one can be more passionate about your company than you are– You set the ceiling, do you want an underground car park or the
Sistine Chapel?
• Consensus kills, speed thrills– Getting nine people to agree wastes time. Marketers have to do
much more, much faster.
• Failure is to be eagerly sought out– Every flop is a war medal. Your job is to collect so many you need
a new uniform to display them.
• Too much process murders passion– If you need a chart to track it, maybe you shouldn’t be doing it.
• Get the budget on the screen– Hit the market with something new every week
