The ultimate business & marketing dictionary of essential terms and Definitions
It is essential for Industry Influencers to understand business, including becoming familiar with complex concepts, terms and acronyms. We have put together this comprehensive glossary to help clarify lingo, demystify buzzwords and help you get out front in your marketing language.
As a marketing agency, we understand the forever changing jargon that will have you feeling lost within the conversation. We started with a list of common terms and phrases in marketing but quickly realized we needed to expand our list to include business terms as well.
We also discovered there are so many that our page was getting very long and we had not yet made it to the words beginning with the letter D. So, we decided to use this space for basic definitions.
As you click each definition you will be directed to a page that attempts to answer what the term means as well as why it matters to Industry Influencers who are managing and marketing brands to get out front, take the lead and become their buyer's obvious choice.

Superb post however I was wondering if you could write a litte more on this
subject? I’d be very thankful if you could elaborate a little bit further.
Kudos!
I’m amazed, I have to admit. Seldom do I encounter
a blog that’s both equally educative and engaging, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head.
The problem is an issue that too few folks are speaking intelligently about.
Now i’m very happy I found this during my search for
something relating to this.
