Actually it was a marketing company from day one. The IT was just happenstance that that is where they decided that there was a marketing opportunity.
You can only call it happenstance that when they looked at marketing niches they found SMB IT as a good one. But that was prior to even forming the company.
From the day the company was founded, it was designed around advertising to IT through their free software.

Scott, you are absolutely right. It is a marketing company that centers around IT. It was hard for me to see it as I was wondering why a software company sells advertising. Sometimes its just difficult to get around the stones that are right in front of our noses.
I completely cannot understand how people do not see this. It is not even something they hide. So many people simply "drink the koolaid" as they saying goes.

Happenstance that when they looked at opportunities, IT is where one was. It was good planning and strategy, but that it turned out to be IT was kinda random. It's not an IT company that found a way to market, it's a marketing company that connects sellers to IT buyers.

I agree, the really weird bit is that it isn't their koolaid, it's some assumed koolaid that even SW never mixed up for anyone.

As I've mentioned, I'm learning pixel art in addition to Gamemaker Studio in the hopes of making my own video game.
I've been making pretty good progress with my pixel art. It's only been a few months.

It really is. Because the support contract on the free Meraki WAP expires in a couple of weeks. So the company can buy 1 from me.

Or a dollar more. He has a long-standing relationship and that has to count for something.
