admin January 15, 2021 Marketing, Meetings No Comments

Meetings suck. They’re time for people to avoid doing actual work, stare blankly at each other, throw in generic comments to look like they’re paying attention, and if you’re lucky, maybe come out with some wicked notebook doodles. Is that how people perceive your marketing meetings? I hope not, because they don’t actually have to be that way. Turn your marketing meetings into something useful by — you guessed it — creating compelling content! (Oh my gosh, inbound marketing concepts work in real life, too!)

admin January 13, 2021 Marketing No Comments
