It’s Only Common Sense: Stop Playing Small—Act Like a Giant
12/01/2025 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseWhen you walk into a room, what do people see? Do they see someone who belongs or someone who’s apologizing for showing up? I’ve been around this industry long enough to know that perception is power. If people think you’re big, you are. If they think you’re small, you’ll stay small.

11/26/2025 | Lorena Villanueva, Global Electronics Association MexicoTechnological revolutions aren’t only measured in gigabytes, robots, or PCBs. They're also measured in people.

The Marketing Minute: Get Out of Your Lane—Electronics Marketing Needs Bold Moves
11/19/2025 | Brittany Martin -- Column: The Marketing MinuteI started skateboarding recently. It’s an unexpected hobby for someone who spends most of her day in marketing meetings, analytics dashboards, and editorial calendars. It’s awkward, humbling, and wildly out of my lane, but that’s exactly why it’s been so energizing: It forces me to redefine what I think I’m capable of.
It’s Only Common Sense: Marketing Isn’t Fluff, It’s Ammunition
11/03/2025 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseI’ve lost count of the times I’ve heard someone dismiss marketing as “fluff.” You know the tone: a little smirk, a little condescension, and the implication that “real companies” don’t need marketing.
