Proven Industrial Marketing Experience Since 1987
Actionable insights and practical industrial marketing advice for

Marketing for engineers by an engineer
I’m Achinta Mitra, the chief content creator and owner of this blog. I’m also the Founder and President of Tiecas, Inc., a Houston-based industrial marketing and consulting company that has been in business since 1987. I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering and an MBA in Marketing. That’s why I call myself a marketing engineer.
Bottom line – I don’t learn industrial marketing at your expense because I know your engineering and technical customers well from my 30+ years of hands-on experience.
