If anyone doubted that multichannel marketing is the optimal advertising strategy, 2018 surely convinced that one person.

Alex was walking down the street, consumed by thoughts about the meeting he was going to have in the morning with an unsatisfied advertiser. As a campaign manager, he had to find a way to keep them happy and returning each quarter with more budget. The numbers didn’t tell a good story.

Then they send their client a super charming note asking for...

I don’t care if I lose my social status and never get a date again, I really have to say why I like reporting. There are days at work when I just get in the zone and crank numbers all day long and I don’t mind, on the contrary, I LOVE IT!
