Crisis, What Crisis? Another week, another siesmic collapse in world financial markets... this time last year, I'd wager the majority of the UK public had never heard of Fannie May, Freddie Mac or known the difference between one mortgage backed security or another.

What is marketing?

When I'm delivering my training courses on marketing for small businesses and start ups across Norfolk, we usually start with a fairly simple question - "What is marketing?"

This exercise is also hugely valuable to get people "into the groove" and "thinking marketing". I truly believe that marketing is so much more than just a process like accounting or administration, its a whole way of thinking. Those that struggle with the concept will often start by putting advertising down on the blank sheet of paper but marketing is so much more than simply advertising.
