Martin Wescott Smith Resume
Phil Buckley
"It was 100% my pleasure, Martin. It was great to reconnect with the most creative marketer I've ever known."
My lunch with Phil was an important reminder. Lunch with intelligent, funny, yet humble marketing friends such as Phil is Rubik cube fun. A little like Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, marketing pros riff so fast it's hard for the uninitiated to follow. As I noted in my Linkedin comment after our lunch, Phil is one of the best SEO's and now an IBM Senior SEO, I know and I know a gaggle of SEOs.
SKILLS
After writing HTML to create and launch Foundobjects.com in November 1999 and then making almost $80,000 before the end of the year, I remember thinking life was about to change in significant ways. And yes, I have a gift for understatement.

The web and online marketing is differenct than 1999, but...
Arresting ideas supported by beautiful images, excellent design, and great writing still create buzz and sell products.
Sustainable online profits come from developing communities and selling your cause before pitching products. Because you can do something doesn't mean it is the right thing to do, and figuring out the right thing is where the rub lies. It's hard to remember to listen more than I preach, but I'm working on it.
