Hi, how are ya?
In addition to my position at DBE, I also teach yoga twice a week. There’s a beautiful change in a person before and after they practice. Maybe they breathe a little deeper… or their shoulders are a bit more relaxed. So I encourage you, no matter what you like doing, to get out and move… in whatever way works best for you!
*switches job hats 🎓* Now, for what you’ve all been waiting for…. Drumroll, please! 🥁

- Email 📧: some brands believe it’s outdated, while others spam our inboxes daily. No matter what you think, it’s still an important and personalized channel when used correctly. MarTech gives some helpful rules to craft better email CTAs. (And hot tip… it can be applied to other channels, too!)
- The rumors are not true. SEO is not dead. It’s just changing. Google still wants human content, but it doesn’t mean you can’t get a little help from AI.
