Project managment is a very weird term.  The reason is because technically everyone is a project manager, yet many have an official title of that in a company.  You could argue that taking a trip to the bathroom is a project, after all.
Titles are important from a career standpoint, but within companies titles are usually [...]

There are actually very few things that make someone good at approaching an issue from a marketing perspective.  I know I harp on these things, but when you run into them on the daily, it’s hard not to analyze them.  And do I analyze.
