Marketing and Invention Must Be Joined at the Hip
In a recent article for the NielsenWire, Sarah Miller Caldicott, Chairperson of the Edison Awards Steering Committee and a great-grandniece of Edison, wrote about the critical role that marketing played in the success of Thomas Edison's inventions.
 "We all know Thomas Edison as America's great inventor, but CMOs should also view his marketing genius with awe. Famous for inventing the light bulb and holding thousands of patents, it was actually one of Edison's early failures that taught him the vital relationship between invention and marketing."
