We have wayyy too many marketing newsletters out there—i feel like everything i read is a regurgitation of the same ol shiz (just like how most blogs were {still are}).
Please share some really good newsletters you genuinely read & if there aren’t any, what do you wish existed?
if you could cast a wider net and add 2 more channels driving pipeline.
Don't blame the player, blame the game. You know what I mean? It's the need of the hour and we gotta step up—in small, simple ways at first, but we have to. 💙
Content doesn't have to be just "educational". It can be "entertaining" too.
You don't have to choose either one of them or be an extremist with one single marketing tactic—"𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒 𝑜𝑛, 𝑜𝑛𝑙𝑦 ���𝐸𝑂 𝑑𝑟𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑏𝑢𝑐𝑘𝑠!"—sure it does now, but imagine
On some days, I can easily spend 20-25 minutes without realizing I'm down rabbit holes on growing organic vegetables 🤦♀️

Why?
Because when all you've learned is one language and it's worked just fine (𝑚𝑎𝑦𝑏𝑒 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑏𝑒𝑠𝑡, 𝑜𝑟 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑠𝑡, 𝑏𝑢𝑡 𝑗𝑢𝑠𝑡 𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑒), you get comfortable, confident, and well, biased!

But was I ever convinced that entertaining content like LinkedIn skits explaining your product in a fun, engaging way, could outperform the 3-pager project brief-turned-paid ads?
Coming from a traditional enterprise background in my engineering days, and then working in the 2018-2022 era of marketing.
