One Trick Ponies Get Shot: Doing Digital Marketing Right
•
78 j'aime•28,887 vues
I admit it: For 20 years, I’ve been obsessed about marketing. Not search engine optimization (SEO). Not social media. Not content marketing. Not even analytics. M-A-R-K-E-T-I-N-G. I want—need to know how the pieces fit together, and how it all works. I’ve pondered, researched and banged my forehead bloody on this problem for a long time. You’re now reading the product of my obsession. I've packed it all in: What I think is wrong. How we can fix it. And, the workflow that seems to keep me from going utterly, run-down-the-street-in-my-underwear crazy.
