Never market alone
Marketing by yourself = 100% cost, 100% opportunity
Co-Marketing = 50% cost, 100% opportunity
Co-content creation creates relevant content that cuts through the noise of yet another direct-to-market message.

It's going to see better returns.
It's. Just. Better.

The words we use put parameters on what we think is possible and how we perceive what we do. Most marketing language uses metaphors of war, with potential customers as the "target" of attack. No wonder they don't like it!
Re-setting the frame helps get us out of these worn patterns and activities, and living in market WITH customers and those they trust, instead of lobbing stuff at them, makes things a lot easier and more fun.
I'll leave the rest of my thoughts for you here:
