DEC Marketing is an oxymoron. DEC has a long history of poor marketing. This can not be blamed on Claflin. In fact Claflin did a lot to improve marketing at DEC.

The "Bricks" campaign is a good example of better advertising / marketing at DEC. I am refering to the print ads where the word DIGITAL spelled out in the little red bricks, was changed to little red bricks spelling out other "action" words. It has been a very successful campaign.

Claflin also improved the brand names for AltaVista, Alpha, and StorageWorks.

Aside from the marketing things he is just a great leader. People will get excited about working for him and will do whatever it takes to succeed. I have seen him in front of customers and he is very persuasive.
