I'LL BELIEVE IN ANYTHING

Hey. I'm John Coates.
I work at FreshBooks running our marketing communications. Some call me a hat collector (lots of different roles) and I'm usually trying wear too many at any given time.

I post/comment on anything I find interesting. That usually means marketing, sales, management, and entrepreneurship. I am also an audiophile, outdoors guy, beer geek (my videos: Beer O'Clock) and like to go really fast on skis and bicycles.

The next issue is time.

The thing about PR people is this: while they may have great contacts and they can get articles placed, they are not capable of doing a vulcan mind meld. They don’t automatically know all the elements about your business that you want to convey to media, partners, customers, potential employees and even potential investors. In all likelihood the entrepreneur doesn’t either. Knowing the message you want to communicate is always a work in progress.
