This is a really interesting talk that Seth Godin gave to the folks at Google last year which I just recently discovered on Google Video. Seth is the author of "All Marketers Are Liars". Seth is, of course, a very, very good marketer.

According to IDC, tech companies are going to increase spending on marketing by 8% this year over last.
