Both Sides of the Table

Within a year, by late 2000 / early 2001 consulting firms were firing people en masse. The things that always differentiated Accenture? There seem to be a lot of market entrants in every category where it becomes hard to differentiate them all from each other. Avoid the latest fads, trends or PR announcements.

I raised money as an entrepreneur, like you, in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003 and 2005 for two different companies. Well if the “why buy anything” is testing whether you’re even compatible with a VC, the “why buy me” has got to be extreme differentiation. Our 2000 fund is the single best fund of its vintage.

We moved into the legal process and final due diligence in January and February of 2000. Our final closure was the first week of March 2000. But I sometime see people get bogged down in PR releases, cancelation clauses, minimum guarantees, whatever. Our final closure was the first week of March 2000.

Jeff Bezos’s private space technology company Blue Origin was founded back in 2000. Your brand is how you differentiate, build awareness , and sear your solution into customers’ minds so they think of you when that time comes. A few successful brands differentiate themselves with a brand moat. In 2002, Elon Musk created Space X.

Because market is such a broad topic, I’m restricting these lessons to PR marketing (as opposed SEO, SEM, product marketing, etc.). I know because I did this in early 2000. You have tons of differentiation. If I can help you avoid some of my first-time mistakes it would be a victory. But life doesn’t end.

I didn’t feel we were differentiated enough and, at the same time, I was hearing all this buzz about social media. I had a PR firm in midtown and was tired of being everyone’s Jewish mother. I actually started two businesses for similar reasons. The model and the timing were good.

The bonus of naming the company Redhead Marketing & PR is that when I am meeting a potential client for the first time in a coffee shop or wherever, they are always able to spot me because of my company name and hair color. Thanks to Hilary Reiter, Redhead Marketing & PR. #5 I named my company RED PR for several reasons.
