The evolution of being a digital marketer:

Fifteen years ago, I was logged in to all my clients’ Joomla websites.

Five years ago, I was an admin on all my clients’ Facebook accounts.

Today, I’m logged in to every client’s HubSpot account.

@jessicacotten Wow. Yep. This is why we keep trying new services and then canceling. It’s sad, but “dumbass stuff” is probably the best descriptor.

Ad agencies, advertising themselves. Lee King, 1980. "Never underestimate the power of a big idea." #advertising #adsforadagencies

@KincsoBiro Altruistically, I’d say the American Bird Conservancy. But I can’t forget how awful Apple products were in the mid-90’s, which means that Apple went from the brink to being the top. That is hard to not admire!

@Rainmaker1973 Yes! Outdoor pet cats are the #1 threat to songbirds. We’re at risk of losing some beautiful birds forever because of pet cats in the USA. Domesticated cats kill birds for sport, not because they’re hungry.

Just helped a company we invested in with Shopify's Markets internationalization feature. Honestly, that's *so* much easier on Shopify than it'd be on #WooCommerce, that by itself it's a reason to use Shopify.

WordPress + Woo *really* needs to up its game in this space.

@JamesGunn I feel weirdly hopeless because of this decision. There’s something dark about this an unexpectedly emotional for me. Seeing Cavill’s response is enlightening. He’s doing his best to live out the ideals of Superman IRL; to reject him is a disaster.

@praise__up @PstafarianPrice Yes. So much this. Just nicer versions of everyday things. I want to own few things, but all of them good things.

Quick grammar lesson from a copywriter:

Correct: “Less advertising, fewer ads.”

Incorrect: “Less ads, fewer advertising.”

Use fewer when you can count the thing. Use less when it’s a concept.

How fascinating to have been using Twitter since 2009. It’s been through so many changes since then, most of them unsuccessful. For what it’s worth, I think Elon could pull off something great. Or he could shut it down entirely. At this point who knows?

@kolrising Thanks, Marty!!! And WOW, long time no see! :-) It’s great to hear from you!

There was a time when it was okay for ads to treat consumers as if they had brains
