The MarketAtomy Concept originally began to take form in 2010, but it was after a near-death experience that I encountered in August of 2012 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil that it really came to fruition. At the time I was working hard to develop inroads into Brazil for US companies who were struggling to survive in an economic recession that was affecting the entire world.

In August of 2012 I was hit by one of Brazil’s rapid buses while crossing the street to my apartment in Copacabana. The resulting 8 weeks of recovery in Brazil before I was allowed to fly home and additional 4 months of surgeries and rehab put a serious dent in my entrepreneurial efforts in not only Brazil but also home in the US. About 2 weeks after returning to the United States I was diagnosed with PTSD as a result of the accident. My business hit a brick wall. Not only did my efforts in Brazil stop, but because of the PTSD I struggled to get back to business as usual in the US for fear of reliving my accident and the pain all over again.

During my recovery time however, the universe was not going to let me hide away. I had many colleagues and friends visit me exasperated because they had started their new businesses and were struggling to bring customers through their doors. They were “bleeding money” and couldn’t figure out how to turn the situation around. Through the process of consulting and mentoring them I uncovered that they had launched their businesses because they couldn’t find work during the recession and still needed to pay their bills. They started with a good product or service, but did not know how to build a business around it. As I continued to mentor them, I realized that I 

needed to find a way to communicate the concept of what a successful business looks like in a manner they would understand and comprehend. Hence, the introduction of MarketAtomy.

The MarketAtomy Concept is the study of the generative marketing anatomy of a successful corporate environment. It demonstrates how marketing is the lifeblood of any corporation. The BODY represents the target market; the BRAIN represents the structure of the business driving all other aspects including product or service development, implementation and delivery. Equally as important is the HEART of the business, which is marketing and branding. Your marketing and branding efforts identify and target who, when, how and why you are in business in the first place and communicate this to your customers. Finally, the ARTERIES and VEINS, which carry the vital marketing message through the body represent the marketing channels and tools..

As in the human body, the BRAIN can’t operate without the HEART and the HEART can’t operate without the BRAIN. The same goes in Business. The WHY must get its directives from the HOW and the HOW must incorporate the WHY into all of its structures, systems and methodologies to effectively bring QUALIFIED customers through your door. With this understanding, it easier to incorporate the skills and tools needed to build a highly successful and robust business. Without Customers, there is no business!
