Personality issues in an agency. Am I really that bland?

Does anyone else they just don’t “fit in” with their agency team?

Possibly the biggest problem in our field right now: marketing work that's not tied to business goals.

Ask *why*.

Why am I writing blog posts?
Why am I trying to rank for keywords?
Why am I optimizing the email signup flow?

Congruity is crucial.

Dear conference creators:

Put the doers on your stage. There are so many frauds who benefit from selling themselves while so many incredible minds are taken for granted.

I want to see more diversity on stage. I want to see the people who are doing incredible work.

What share of your marketing budget goes into SEO?
(a question to in-house marketers)

I was just talking to a friend from a fast growing startup and he told me that 60% of their marketing spend is PPC, while SEO gets about 10%.

I wonder how it's like in your organisation?

There's an interesting dynamic in how brands view the impact of iOS privacy changes on ad platforms.

People see FB as "broken" because of it and then want to try Tik Tok or Snap as alternatives.

But those platforms suffer the EXACT same limitations from the policy...
