I
notice with big concern that many people in the company are
now only referring to us by our company initials. I know that
you and the legal department need to do this a lot within
contracts and documents for conveniency, but over and beyond
that it really is doing us a disservice.
Shopping
for your new hi-fi would not have been the same if you had
gone to TGG instead of The Good Guys®, or down the road
to CCI instead of Circuit City®. I know we are not currently
marketing to consumers, but even in business-to-business marketing,
brand names matter. It is the one constant in our company,
especially given the rate at which we introduce new technical
products. It also happens to be our web domain name!
The
marketing department would like to do all that we can to promote
the company name worldwide and make it a valuable brand in
our industry - but first we have to have everyone internally
use it correctly. There is a lot more to branding than just
the name, but this is where it all starts. Thank you for leading
the way on this matter!
