Editor's Notes

  • #4 Thor: bruk Kb 
  • #5 This is a big problem. Doesanyoneknowwhy??
  • #15 Just say «no» doesentwork. We have to explain and getthemonboadwiththe right mindset. If not just og on building separate campaignsitewith redundant content.
  • #16 Tool: Definethecore. Example med MBB. Blank mal først – så utfyllt: Create a platform for communication to incresaeunderstanding and align goals to create a betterwebsite.Tror Are snakket om dette som ”Core+Paths” når han presenterte på IASummit. Her må du bruke litt tid på å fortelle om dette. Jeg ville kanskje også kalt det for ”InboundPaths” og ”Outboundpaths”. Døp om triggerwords til Triggers
