JDM's Dictionary of Marketing Jargon

Marketing Jargon DictionaryMarketers love our jargon. To help make sense of the endless abbreviations and made-up words, we at JDM took it upon our self to write our own Marketing Jargon Dictionary.

You can view the dictionary or click on any of the double-underlined links littered throughout our new website.

Keep in mind, The Marketing Jargon Dictionary is a work in progress. Suggest your favorite marketing jargon for inclusion in the dictionary in the comments section of this post.
