If you were to ask me what the most difficult part of marketing IT services is, I would tell you that it has nothing to do with the technical specifications or the never-ending list of acronyms. In fact, it’s the opposite of all of that. The most difficult part of marketing IT services is simply “being human.” It’s forgetting about the bells and whistles and finding a way to build an emotional connection with your audience all the way down to the bare metal (and then working your way back up from there).
In order to accomplish this, your audience needs to be open to it. They need to let their guard for just long enough for the connection to be established and for the message to make it’s way through as a result. This is where music comes into play (no pun intended).
Bob Marley once said “One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.” He was right. It doesn’t matter who you are or where you are from, Music always finds a way to get through. This is why it acts as a great medium to deliver a message that would otherwise be impermeable.
With this in mind, I thought it would be a fun exercise to come up with a full mixtape of songs, all of which could be used a soundtrack for advertising IT services. Some of these songs are very literal, some of them a little tongue-in-cheek, but they all help to bring the human out of those who are listening. I present to you, “The Ultimate MSP Mixtape:”
