I really like this explanation of the role. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I work on a very small Biz Dev team at Collective Intellect (another local start-up. You running the Bolder Boulder tomorrow?) I'm also just of out my undergrad and don't have much to compare my current work against. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;When people ask me details about my day, I stumble through a mediocre explanation along the lines of, "A little bit of sales, a little bit of strategy and planning. But more than half of my day is totally unstructured work - reading, learning, talking to contacts, etc." Your description is much better. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Question - should the unstructured nature of my job at CI (no day is the same, wearing lots of hats, very little instruction as to what my responsibilities are) be attributed to working at a start-up or working in Biz Dev?? Do you think all biz dev jobs require as much creativity to be successful?</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Nick Sowden</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 25 May 2008 14:55:50 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: BrandTags</title><link>http://copydiva.disqus.com/brandtags/#comment-6355255</link><description>Too cool. For the brand "Zune" main themes 3-5 are, "lame, crappy, ipod." Very nice Microsoft...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For Marlboro, the first word is cancer. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I wonder what it would say if I put my name in there.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Nick Sowden</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 19 May 2008 14:37:32 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
