This is how an engineer feels when surrounded by marketing people.

Seems that there aren't much engineers here.

I feel for the engineer. I used to be in marketing and I left because I didn't like pushing products that I had to lie or tell half-truths about.

You have one here bro.

And again,- I support our Marketing guys as they are the ones who are into demand-creation or creating a need for the product or would-be product. It is an enabling function that moves the entire organization for as long as it is well coordinated and that there are no false expectations from both the customer and the company.

It's a perpetual tug-of-war between design (engineering) and Marketing,- alright,- but then again,- you have to be riding along the battlefront, so that you do not lose your competitive edge. Anything outside of that is mediocre, at best.

It is a love-hate relationship.

Yes, we support,- but the Marketing guys have to deliver. Else, they're marked men in the company.

meron naman good marketing at profit marketing..

sometimes customers don't know what they need (sometimes they did not know it is already available), this is now the function of a marketing, to introduce a product that the customer need.

sa profit marketing, kayo na ang mag-isip kung anong product ang nabili nyo na walang wenta or hindi maximized.
