OUR TOP PICKS:


Katherine
: Our second annual #12DaysOfContent series is something I hope all of our readers (and viewers!) enjoy. It’s incredible to work with so many talented people, and the collaboration across participating marketing strategists, social strategists, editors, designers and video producers turns into something that’s both useful and fun watch. Lots of solid perspectives, and lots of laughs behind the scenes (…plus some on camera).

And also, special shout out to our Marketing TWITs (The Week’s Illustrated Tweets). Perfect for a quick laugh in the day, and we (virtually) met so many punny tweet-ers through the experience.

Alex: I had a lot of fun researching and writing about a topic near and dear to my heart: how people interact with online text – The medium is the message: Writing for the 21st century web
