@tbonier What would be helpful in this analysis is hard numbers - not merely percentages - It's difficult to interpret the impact without the volume here - 100 % gain sounds impressive - yet if the actual numbers yielding that gain are tiny, the needle is not likely to move much.

@realBrookNash Good writing is merely the entry bar to being successful. I've become a better along the way - thanks to great fb from eds. Being a good client manager, story finder, voice adapter, organizer, pitch-master, collaborator, relationship builder.. etc. is key to long term success.
