I have no idea where most of you guys work, but to claim that Google and AWS have bad marketing seems to me to be totally insane.
I've been at a company with bad marketing. Even though we were a unicorn with 10s of millions in revenue including almost of financial services, insurance, and publishing companies as clients, basically no one knew who we were or what we did. Our sales people would have to invest months and months of effort to sell. We struggled to gain any developer community support at all.
On the other hand I've had AWS consultants tell me that they walk into meetings without having to sell at all. Their clients are already eager to leverage AWS in any way they can. Nor do they have the slightest fear of putting mission critical and sensitive data in the cloud.
If that isn't marketing I have no idea what is.

To be fair, it makes more sense for many companies to leverage AWS and other cloud providers, other than trying to do a job they do not understand and may not understand enough even to hire for it.
- bsder 6y agoYeah, bad marketing was: "DEC has it now! But you can't have it."
