Microsoft Ready To Reorg Marketing Big Time, Analyst Says
,----[ Quote ]
| Evidently, Steve Ballmer, Microsoft's chief
| executive officer, has had enough. Maybe
| that's why Microsoft in February appointed
| David Webster chief strategy officer, and
| Gayle Troberman chief creative officer, --
| both new roles -- after somewhat of a
| reorganization earlier this year.
|
| Webster was previously general manager,
| brand and marketing strategy. Troberman
| serves as general manager of advertising.
| Both report to Mich Mathews, senior vice
| president of corporate marketing. The new
| appointments and strategy will allow
| marketing team to work across campaigns to
| unify the message for the Microsoft brand.

Microsoft cuts another 800 jobs â Whats the âstoryâ this time?
,----[ Quote ]
| Before we go into the article it is worth
| mentioning that Boycott Novell reported the
| 800 job cuts way before the news hit the
| mainstream media. Detractors to the BN
| website may like to consider that fact. | http://boycottnovell.com/wiki/index.php/Main_P
| age
|
| As the US is officially out of the recession
| (with the UK lagging slightly) more job
| losses are announced from Redmond, 800
| (allegedly) of them, with the cuts
| apparently coming in the sales and marketing
| sections. Could this be a reason why we saw
| this? â is Microsoft getting so hard up that
| it generates Twitter accounts to do its
| bidding? (and very badly I hasten to add)
