It’s official. Starting Monday, 3/6, I’ll be a marketing communications specialist with a software company again. Yeah! I’ll be writing client testimonials, marketing brochures, and white papers, and working with the trade press. I love this stuff!
Yep. I get a thrill from deciphering the tech-talk and translating it to plain English, even if I have to repeatedly ask the project team, “But what does that bell/whistle do? … Okay, so what does that MEAN? … Okay, so why should the client CARE? …. Oh! Okay. I get it!”
