There Are No Emergencies in Marketing
This time of year there seems to be a flurry of marketing emergencies.
As a done-for-you service provider, I frequently encounter people with extreme urgency for their marketing projects. This extreme urgency is because they are reacting to some problem or need that could have been prevented with proper planning and execution.
They may be looking for new brand messaging or visual design, revamped websites, marketing automation, content strategies, holiday promotions, and more. Awesome — I’d love nothing more than to help them with all of that.
But, my friends, these things take time and require research, creative thinking, iteration, execution, and testing.
There are no emergencies in marketing. There often is, however, a lack of planning, preparation, and perspective.
With only about two and a half months left in this crazy year, have you started thinking and planning yet for 2021?

Tables by Google
A new product from Area 120 by Google, Tables helps teams easily track & automate tasks, enabling them to save time and work smarter. Looks like an interesting option for task management, support desk tickets and more.

Pencil and Paper
Often, the best tool for the job is the one right in front of you! I literally take notes with a pencil in a notebook all throughout the day and later put anything important into Asana tasks. Try it, you’ll like it!
