Marketing is all arts and crafts. Marketing is a cost center for my organization. If you haven’t heard these things at least once as a marketer, you’re in the minority. What’s more, until the digital age, arguing against these statements was near impossible. Now, marketers are lucky enough for the ability to fight these words with a long list of KPIs and ROI.

“Wow! Check out what technology is making possible!”. If Intel’s digital magazine iQ could speak, that’s what it would say. One article , for example, describes an emergency button that outdoor adventurers can attach to their clothing. Another describes a tiny drone that may someday help pollinate plants. iQ by Intel may not sell those emergency buttons, the bee-like drones, or any of the other tech-driven creations it covers.

Inspiration can strike at any moment. I never thought I’d have a revelation about marketing during a game of Cards Against Humanity, but we don’t get to choose when the lightbulb goes off. For people unfamiliar with Cards Against Humanity , it dubs itself the “party game for horrible people.” Players match cards containing various risqué phrases to make clever combinations—like Apples to Apples with a hefty dose of vulgarity.

From a young age, I was told I had an odd voice. It was a little too low for a girl and I tended to whisper a lot. I blame the whispering on the house I grew up in, which was big and echoey. If you didn’t want mom to hear you talking about inane things on the phone, whispering was a necessity. I didn’t realize my talk-in-a-low-whisper voice was useful until I started doing interviews for market research and editorial.
