Charles L Martin's Blog

Charles L Martin has spent a lifetime experiencing hard won sales and marketing battles in the fashion (7th Avenue), film (Hollywood), beverage (Worldwide), and financial industries (SoCal).

His clients, past and present, include Liz Claiborne, Tommy Hilfiger, Esprit, D.F. Sanders & Co., more than 25 A-List actors and producers in film, Rhino Chaser's Beer, Signature Nannies, among others. By clients, he sometimes means "bosses" and sometimes "clients".

The concept of Anticipation Marketing is his specialty.

He loves marketers and sales hacks. He loves (or dislikes) your company. His rants may inspire you. They may ignite you. Either way, it's all good.
