[Marketing] Marketing Digest, Vol 95, Issue 20

[Harrison Grundy]

It occurred to me that the event may be a good place to evaluate how the rebrand is going, and engage the community in person. 

We can use whatever is together in time there, show it to people alongside some of the older stuff, and get very quick feedback from the community. If all we have are logo drafts, we can show those, if we have more substantive material ready instead, great!

Also let's us avoid the immediately difficult position for the vendor (and mild customer from hell move) of "Yeah, we like your thing... but here, we're going to totally change our timeline right before we sign. We cool?"
