I once thought there was something narcissistic - or at least self-indulgent about having a vanity Web site and a blog. At a minimum, writing in the first person begged the question: Who cares? At the risk of sounding apologetic, www.PeterBray.com was originally a gift from my friend David. Since that unique gift in 1997, my site has changed shape and grown. As a career marketing guy who has launched more than my fair share of new products, I have always known the importance of branding. Only in the past few years have I begun to apply the same principles to me: I began to think of my site as a way to complement my CV and demonstrate how I ‘eat my own dog food.’ The response from those whose opinions matter confirmed the approach.
This blog extends my brand and, hopefully, my reach to help someone else. This blog is called “Musings of a Marketing Guy” as the topics I cover, I expect, will be inspired. More importantly, I hope my writing will inspire you. What I write about will not always be marketing related, and the blog posts will most likely have a technology slant to them. I’ve met, worked with and known some incredible people in my life, and I will periodically ask some of them to contribute to this blog.
If you’d like to stay in touch, please drop me a line. We can also connect via LinkedIn, Twitter or Facebook. I hope you stop by regularly and find something valuable.
Your friend,
Peter
