Overall I liked the opportunistic and upbeat approach to dealing with this increasingly difficult environment. However, I thought the very first, and most important, assumption the paper suffered from is not valid: that B2B marketing departments are actually in control enough of their budgets to keep Finance or the C-Suite from cutting them. In most B2B environments I've been at, Marketing has not been able to consistently convince the senior management to give them more power over the total size of their budget - hence the tendency to swiftly target marketing budgets in tough times. It would be really nice to have a flat budget in good times, let alone times like these.
