40. A better way to make it
There are an infinitely growing number of marketing
channels which require content. This brings about a new level
of content we must produce. The only way to create enough
content with a high enough success demands a new
foundation on how we execute marketing campaigns. We
must learn from other business departments who have faced
similar issues.
41. Place your pin on the blue dot. Your goal will be to close your eyes
and then draw a straight line to the red dot. Stop when you get
there.
43. Now try again, but feel free to stop when ever you want. Leave
your pen on the paper, and open your eyes. Recalibrate, close your
eyes then continue to draw your line. Take as many stops as you
want.
45. Agile
Theory
Small and frequent iteration is the key to success when you
operate in dynamic environments. Our marketing enjoinment
is dynamic since our consumer, and channels are constantly
changing. Technology also has now caught up to a place
where instant iteration is possible.

64. modern email Design
SKIP - HTML
It doesn’t belong in nurturing emails, and let me prove to you why
@msweezey
65. Our job isn’t to be pretty. It’s
to be effective.“ @msweezey
66. RICHTEXT isauthentic
I can not hand code HTML
and never have. So if I sign
an email which is fully
formatted HTML it’s
obviously an automated
email.
RICH TEXT is how humans
write emails to each other.
Short, to the point, and with
out formatting.
John,
I didn’t know if you follow @jaybaer. He’s talking a lot about
content these days. Check him out!
best,
Mat
