As a marketer, you‘ve likely encountered the dreaded “prediction problem” while tracking data to predict revenue growth. The prediction problem is the frustrating gap between having data and knowing what’s coming next. Traditional marketing metrics can tell you what happened last month, but they’re like my tarot cards when predicting the future—confusing, vague, and not…

Let’s be honest: Most re-engagement emails are an afterthought. They get treated like the dusty “last chance” bin in the back of the store; sent months too late, generic in tone, and largely ineffective. Which is a shame, because when you do them right, re-engagement campaigns can be some of the hardest-working emails in your…

Marketers are known for wearing many hats — writer, designer, psychologist, maybe the occasional raspberry berry — but one that often gets overlooked is researcher. Market research is critical to knowing your audience, connecting with them, and convincing them to take action. Thankfully, today, there are countless AI market research tools to help make completing…

Whatever terrible thing you’ve pivoted a campaign around — a delayed launch, maybe customer backlash — I bet it didn’t involve a multi-hundred-thousand dollar burglary. This week’s master can put that on her bingo card. But, more importantly, her bingo card also includes working with a list of brands too long to say in one…

As someone who’s spent the past few years building websites and helping businesses fine-tune their digital presence, I’ve seen firsthand how overlooked the homepage can be. Yet, it’s the most visited page on your entire website. The virtual front door that welcomes (or turns away) the majority of your traffic. A lot of businesses struggle…

Creating content for every funnel stage is about more than just cranking out blog posts. It’s easy to fall into a routine — publishing the same kinds of pieces without stopping to ask if they’re what your audience actually needs at that moment. At one SaaS company I worked with, we were proud of our…

Like many people, the first few years I was on LinkedIn, I used it as little more than an online résumé. In recent years, however, LinkedIn marketing has become one of the most reliable ways I generate leads, attract opportunities, and stay top-of-mind with the people who matter most. When you treat LinkedIn like a…

I’ve written a lot of landing pages. Some from scratch, some as quick refreshes, and others I inherited mid-campaign with a CTA that made no sense and a form no one could find. Along the way, I’ve learned what actually works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to landing page best practices. And they’re rarely…

For what seems like ages, “Google” has been synonymous with “search.” Have a question? Google it. Looking for a product? Google it. But consumer search behavior has changed. Now, people are flocking to other channels. Gen Z and Millennials are leading the change, as 29% of the group prefers to search for information on social…

The beauty of freelancing for most of my decade-long career is that I’ve worked on both sides of the B2B and B2C marketing coin. One week, I’m helping a B2B SaaS brand rewrite a whitepaper. The next, I’m deep in campaign planning for a B2C real estate brand. It’s a front-row seat to how marketing…
