Brief

Short reads. What just happened in marketing, technology, or the broader business landscape, and how it affects mid-market companies. Brief pieces are published when something actually warrants saying, not on a content calendar. Most of what shows up in marketing news is noise; we publish only when a mid-market CEO would benefit from knowing about it. If you’re here because you saw a headline and wonder whether it matters to you, start in this lane.

The monthly email

One email a month. Worth opening.

The marketing, RevOps, and CX news that matters to mid-market leaders, what we're writing about, and a note from our CEO. Unsubscribe anytime.

Large mint green numbers "2025" span the image, with the word "October" in smaller black text positioned near the bottom right of the number 2. The background is off-white.
