The Wall Street Journal covered the departure of a product marketing manager from RIM - RIM Loses Another Executive.
Really? We're now covering departures of manager-level personnel and calling them executives?
What's even more odd is how the story was shortened from what originally ran. In the original story it stated that RIM's VP (I think it was VP, may have been a CXO) of marketing went to Samsung.
So the big story is some guy who worked for the VP at RIM jumped with his boss to Samsung. Big whup.
This goes to show you how eager the media is to report every little thing that implies RIM is falling apart. Which is misleading if you ask me because RIM losing marketing folks isn't a bad thing. It will give them a chance to get in some agents of change when it comes to marketing (which is obviously one of their major issues in the market).
Not that I'm a bull on RIM, but I really fail to see how a product marketing manager leaving RIM is 'news'.

ReplyDeleteA Product market is something that is referred to when pitching a new product to the general public. The people you are trying to make your product appeal to is your consumer market. For example: If you were pitching a new video game console game to the public, your consumer market would probably be the adult male Video Game market (depending on the type of game). Thus you would carry out market research to find out how best to release the game. Likewise, a massage chair would probably not appeal to younger children, so you would market your product to an older generation.
