Seconding the mention of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbF8cWOLwEI Sandi talks in much greater detail about her Marketing background, CIG history, and plans in this awkwardly conducted interview with INN. (This is worth listening to, as she's doubling-down on her credentials, education, and career experience to try to seize back some of the narrative from Derek. Methinks thou doth protest too much but whatever... ) quote:DA: So let’s start with, how did you get your start in marketing. What got you interested in marking in general because you’ve done more than just Star Citizen. Import/Export relations between Australia / China started to flourish in the 80s. It makes you wonder. CIG uses China to ship most of their goods-- a practice which makes little sense, given that the vast majority of their customers are in North America and Europe. Is it possible that Sandi chose China because of pre-existing relationships she and/or her mother developed in their import/export business? It's absurd to think-- yet, the fierce commitment to China is such a huge liability to the professionalization of their shipping business, and it begs the obvious question, "Why China?" It will always mean poor tracking. It will always mean 3-5 week deliveries to North America and Europe-- which is maybe 75% of the buyers. It will always mean an inferior solution to something she could set up in Europe or America. It will always mean a solid flow of "Where is my order?" type trouble-tickets coming in. Yet-- despite the fact that she "studied marketing and law and managerial practice and a lot of that stuff"- she's apparently happy with a bog standard solution that makes little sense for backers. Whoever the vendor is, we know they lose merchandise in their factory, then discover it behind boxes a year later and make it available for sale again as "NEW Old Stuff". Ben rubbishes it a lot on RtV-- as if joking about how poorly they handle the physical goods business is funny to those who actually want to buy the stuff. It seems so conspicuous that CIG would stick with China, stick with a solution is the butt of jokes on their own subscriber-funded live show. But maybe this really is the reason? Pre-existing family relationships due seems to cloud the judgment at cloud imperium.

Thronde posted:I just thought of a potential issue. Let's say (hypothetically, since we know this scam isn't releasing) the game goes gold. What sort of server structure do they have in mind? I've never even seen mention of the backend hardware. EVE is about to upgrade the Tranquility cluster AGAIN, and they still have issues with lag and whatnot. Unless Croberts 20k coffee machine doubles as some badass server cluster, I don't think their office IT guy's dell inspiron is going to make a decent server. EVE's lag issues are mostly due to the code for the game being so old it doesn't fully support modern hardware or something like that.

No references. No footprint. Nothing. Only Star Citizen. That's it. Before that, she was Chris's intern at his failed movie company, Ascendant Pictures, where they met. Further, she has lied - on the record (one example @ 18:45 and they removed this one but we have it saved locally) - that she went to UCLA and has two marketing degrees. Setting aside two of the deleted (we have them of course, don't be silly) LinkedIn profiles with that information etc. This is just damage control and it's not going to solve any of the problems they're about to be hit with.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbF8cWOLwEI This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below. <transcript> Hello citizens, I’m David from INN and with me is Sandi! Hi everybody! So let's start with, how did you get your start in marketing. What got you interested in marking in general because you’ve done more than just Star Citizen. I guess it’s something I’ve been doing since I was a small child, my mother had an import exporse business in australia, so we would do a lot of trade shows around the country and internationally. So she taught me a lot about positioning a brand, how to be, I mean in a tradeshow you have to be intimate You have to sell it, sell yourself Yes, exactly, and you’re very intimate with the people and of course when I was a child, there was no internet so you really had to. Word of mouth was important Exactly, that was how you marketed something, was to do something by word of mouth and for it to go viral through your friends and then I got a couple of small business grants, I had a swimsuit company, I ran nightclubs, I’ve done a lot in the fashion industry. I did commercial real estate development marketing. Also at the australian graduate school of management I studied marketing and law and managerial practice and a lot of that stuff, Yes So you’re pretty well educated Yes *laughs* Yup So once the bulk of Star Citizen's marketing campaign is done, do you have any plans to go back into any marketing of fashion or acting or trying something else? I’m not sure. I mean when I started this project in june or july of 2012 and I wrote the campaign I really didn’t; I mean we’re three years later, this project is a moment to moment experience, yes of course I’ve written a marketing plan however being open development, it presents its own challenges. It happens when it happens Right, I honestly haven’t had time to say right, well I’m going back into fashion or I’m going back into acting because it’s such an all encompassing job. So I guess when you first took on the job I guess director of marketing your official title or? Yeah Okay so when you first took over the job as director of marketing, did you expect to be doing it for going on more than three years now? No, I honestly expected, I mean chris did interview other people for this job and you know like I said at the time well I’m not sure if people are really understanding his vision and you know I clearly have a good understanding of how chris thinks and how he works and the two of us have a similar sense of style and how like to engage with people. I think that made a big difference because any other marketing person, it’s hard to know what chris’s full vision is on a daily basis It’s hard for us as fans to sometimes know what chris’s vision is so someone coming from the outside and market to it I can see that being, Right, and so then it’s also a lot of shortcutting in thinking in as much as that I would say to him right, I want a teaser site, you know with the forty two, I want to have a concierge service, I want customer service in the gaming industry to be completely different so I’m coming from different backgrounds And the customer service that you guys have so far is phenomenal Thank you! Yeah I trained all of our staff and it’s definitely a different way of thinking It’s great, I’ve only had a few interactions but every single one of them has been better than the last. So I kind of feel like the job snowballed Right Because the merchandise for example, I have experience in producing merchandise, the timelines , the budgeting, the everything and so that was something I started when we first did the citizen cards and oh wow. Yeah, how did those go actually? Wow, I mean that was, I spent hours on skype and everything with china to Giving them all like? That was such an impossible task, I got to tell you, you know I’m up for the challenge but that was something. I called vendors all throughout the states, everywhere to get those made and the metal ones. Yeah that was one of our first products, and the two tee-shirts that we originally did. So all of that was something I had experience in that I did, yes I did all the customer service stuff from the beginning, all the events. wanting to live stream, I mean all of these things and you know I didn’t have an assistant or anything. The thing is a regular director of marketing, VP of marketing wants a team and wants some people to be doing these things, where as these are all the things I’ve done and so I not really thinking that's a title and I shouldn’t be doing this and doing that. Right, it’s just get it done. So finding somebody to have all of those cross disciplines, to create a team has been very difficult, Yeah. Well we're glad here, you’re doing a phenomenal job. *Laughs* So are there plans to transition from current model of marketing which is mainly marketing to this hardcore fans, to marketing more the general public, people that might not have heard of Star Citizen? Yes, there absolutely is. I think I was explaining it before I would liken it to say if had you the earth and you go right to the core and that’s where we’ve started. From the golden tickets and wayback in the beginning with people who are signing up from having great experiences on let's say Freelancer or Wing Commander, Starlancer, Privateer and then we started to, I’ve seen it a lot of fans come up who are teenagers or different backgrounds and they haven’t heard of chris before and that’s cool from a marketing perspective that you’re reaching out playing arena commander and they’re like Oh my gosh this is a great experience or joining an organization and coming as a newcomer. So having said all that, we’re not out on At the outside. We're still somewhere in that mid section and I rely on development so I could have all the marketing plans in the world which I do have some great plans but I can't implement those plans until I feel There’s something to give Until I feel like when I step into the shoes of the public person who knows nothing about Star Citizen, who really hasn’t been on that journey of crowdfunding and the whole experience that those of us who’ve had been around for three years I'm thinking, what is this game? Right okay, I’ll Give it a look Give it a look, but if I don’t feel like it’s quite the right time then you can’t push to that and also for in terms of building the marketing team, I feel like when we can push there and were so close, we’re like really close, Come on people We can feel it Were so close and then it will be much easier to build upon the marketing team because the traditional form of marketing Right Is more to the general public, Yes And so therefore candidates who are wanting to be apart of marketing team for Star Citizen They’ve had experience doing that They’ve had experiencing doing it, and when I’m seeing all of these resumes coming in, There more traditional and so when I’m trying to describe how where we’ve come from it's very difficult Right because they don’t No, and it’s not a normal practice. Who has experience in marketing and open development, who has experience with a really big crowdfunding Has it been done before to this level? I don’t think so and certainly I don’t think in the gaming industry and bless our fans they’re amazing, they’re all intense, it’s very tense and it takes them. I guess it can take a bit of getting used to this intensity for that, exactly that, the shaking and screaming oh my god oh my god Star Citizen I mean yeah, I mean I didn’t start this project to, I mean literally when I started this project I’m like look, I have the best plan and if we're going to realize chris’s vision I want to be the one to say alright it failed because of me. Okay I said right, I believe in it, here’s my plan and I can fully see this plan being successful Right I want to own that Let it fail on you and not some random person that might not understand Yeah, exactly, because I was like well, if I’m going to help chris then I want to make sure that I full wholeheartedly, do it and if that marketing campaign fails, well then I will say well I gave it my best It certainly hasn’t failed, it certain hasn’t done the opposite of failure I think we’re very close to a going out more to the public and it being more traditional because up to date we haven’t paid for any advertising and we basically are you know, all of my whole department, everything is covered with subscribers. Subscribers yeah, which is I don’t spend more than what subscribers give us, So you know with my producer hat, there’s a lot of great ideas, I can totally see the empire report being a lot more and in game I can see stuff with ATV that we would like to do, I can see a lot of stuff across the board that I would like to do. But, okay, well great! That’s good though, it’s good to know that there are more ideas but you’re sticking to what we're paying for which is what subscribers Right, and I also think and then I can see it being like one of those rides where you’re like, alright here we go and it happens really quickly and that’s what happened with the campaign. I mean I went into the campaign with a number of what I feel we could get to and we exceed that. Right, Just a little SG and then I was like okay well I think we’ll be here and we exceed that and so I feel like what pushing out to into the general public we need to be ready. Right because it’s. Right, I mean squadron 42 was mind blowing and that’s something I need to be ready saying right I got all these people and I got support on the community side I’m ready to go, it’s not going to cut it with me being the only marketing person, I’ll be like a wreck. Overworked a bit SG Overextended Yeah Awesome. Star Citizen has done phenomenally well. mind blowingly well with the, well you guys passed 90 million dollars, Right What do you think it would take for another crowd funded video game to emulate this success and do you think it’s possible at some point? I definitely think it’s possible. I’m in the anythings possible category. So I definitely think it’s possible. I mean look I go by instinct so you know would I say it’s possible at this moment, Probably not? Okay However, it changes Who knows So in a year's time I could have the feeling that right, Yeah it’s definitely possible for another video game to come in right now Do you think it will be easier for when star citizen shows, look we’ve done it, here’s squadron 42, here’s the game. Do you think then it will be easier for someone to come in? Well I think they can certainly look at what we did in terms of say, we’re an open development and it definitely poses it’s own challenges and I don’t think anybody has done it to the scale that we’re doing it and I probably liken ourselves to a political campaign but I’ve never done one. Okay, But it kind of feels like it’s ongoing, it’s intense, you make these decisions like And everything gets seen. Everything's seen, this is a 24/7 job, you got haters, you got your avid supporters, things are said about you that are that are completely slanderous and untrue and you’re like wait what? What’s happening? What? It’s quite mind blowing, so I definitely think that somebody could look at that and say, here’s some of the things we're’ not going to do. However having said that, So you would take those things and go alright well that gets easier but then you will have guaranteed another set of problems which is just, that’s just how it works if you’re going to be successful at anything, there will be problems and so you learn from the ones Star Citizens has had but then you have another whole host of them. It’s the way it works I guess right? So I got one last question before we end. What’s the one best thing that we as fans can help do to help Star Citizen I mean, I think our fans are just stellar, they are absolutely, it’s pretty amazing what I think our fans do, I don’t know if they can do more to help. I look at everything how I would feel just as a regular human being, without any whatever you want to call it, labels, or Stereotypes or anything on top of it. As a human being, what can I do? So I personally am quite silent about things in general. But I probably feel like most people at a certain point I don’t want to be pushed anymore, I don’t want to be spoken for anymore and there’s a movement of, I mean I feel like there’s a bit of a movement of our signed up majority speaking up in certain ways and I think that’s all I can really ask for is that people just, You at the certain point have to make a stand for what you believe in and that’s it really. That works And if you don’t believe that’s fine, but if you do then Hopefully the people that do believe and I think there’s a lot of us that are doing you proud I definitely have seen and I’ve received many emails and things of support for star citizen in general that you know that they’re there and I also see it in terms of the actual negative part, It’s just so loud, but who is it really, that’s the thing. No I think our fans do what they do what they do. Well keep doing what we do and as long as you keep doing the amazing job you’ve done, thank you so much for this interview Thank you so much, Thanks for interviewing, Thanks guys! Well that’s that. We’ll see you in the verse! We’ll see you in a bit! </transcript>
