Morettini On Management

The Quarterly Newsletter of PJM Consulting

 

Winter 2021

 

 

Happy New Year and welcome to our Winter Quarterly Newsletter! At long last we may be at least at the "beginning of the end" of the Covid Pandemic. Many software and hardware tech businesses have been forced to make dramatic changes to their operation; some painful and some that may actually boost them to their next growth spurt. 

 

What has been the biggest change to your business in this trying time? I'd be very interested in hearing your perspective. And we are of course always here as a resource to you, if we can assist in any way.

 

Our winter newsletter contains 3 new articles, as well as some popular suggestions from our catalog of existing resources.

 

Our first article takes a look at startup success and failure: What's the difference? The second article provides an opinion on the ever popular topic of branding. Specifically in a tech business - what is really important? Our final article discusses a now popular marketing tactic, content marketing. But how do you overcome internal objections within your company, in order to execute this tactic well? 

 

As always, we invite you to reach out if you have a question or comment on any of our articles - as well as anything else on your mind. Please contact me using the email address or phone number below.

 

Let's now go to the new articles for this quarter:
