The IT Skeptic - Comments for "Clever marketing"

the pizzazz of dung

You have my sympathy. ITSM is regarded within IT Operations like IT Operations is regarded within IT like IT is regarded within business. We are the bottom of the fascination heap. We have same marketing pizzazz as dung.

Let me know if you'd like 100 copies of Introduction to Real ITSM - they say humour is the best marketing ... or something like that

Less of the 'marketing bashing' thanks

As someone involved in ITSM marketing, I’m used to ‘marketing bashing’. And I know that many ITSM marketing bods deserve this bashing - but please don’t tar us all with the same brush. No matter how hard we try, we can never transform ITSM into the world's most exciting subject - nor does it have the most enigmatic personalities involved. So please don’t criticize until you’ve walked a mile in our shoes.

The best piece of marketing I've ever seen on ITIL is done by Orsyp. They published an ITIL trivial pursuit with 408 questions about ITIL. http://www.orsyp.com/consulting/IT-operations.asp

ITSM marketing?

Red Pineapple — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 05:15:52 +0000

Phew! And I thought I was also missing it. There has not been any memorable marketing for ITSM and none for IT generically since 1984.

a reflection?

No you're not missing anything. Maybe its lame but it just tickled me. perhaps it is a sad reflection on all the other ITSM marketing :-D

huh?

I don't get it. Someone please explain. I know about E=mc^2, but E=MC+B? If it's just because E=MC+B kind of looks like E=mc^2 then it's lame. Am I missing something?

Enlightening
