Let’s call this what it is.
Another Black life has been lost at the hands of senseless violence.
There is a system in place that created and has upheld racism, marginalization, and injustice.
It must be uprooted and rebuilt from the ground up.
Black Lives Matter.
We all have a part in working toward the reform of a system that has favored racism for centuries.
Our work toward dismantling this system will not stop. It cannot stop. No one’s can.
We stand in solidarity with the Black community. Today. Always.

Nearly 65% of Google searches in 2020 were “zero-click” -- that means people got what they needed from the search results alone, and didn’t click into any site.
What do you think this tells us about the future of SEO?
What people think marketers do:
Tweet all day
What marketers actually do:
Work tirelessly to perfect individual interactions across multiple channels and create a remarkable experience for the customer.
What they say: “If you love something, let it go...”
What they really mean: “Please, I beg you, stop making it so hard for people to unsubscribe from your marketing emails.”
In 2020, the top social media platforms used by U.S. marketers are projected to be:
1. Facebook (87.1%)
2. Instagram (75.3%)
3. Twitter (66.5%)
4. YouTube (53%)
5. Pinterest (35.8%)
Which one does your business use the most?

When people hear information, they're likely to remember only 10% of that information three days later. However, if a relevant image is paired with that same information, people retained 65% of the information three days later.
The role of a
#marketer
isn’t to improve a single landing page or social post. It’s to look at the customer journey from beginning to end and connect the dots to create a remarkable experience.
Employee burnout isn’t an individual issue; it’s a company issue.
If your employees are burnt out, your customers are going to feel it – and what hurts your customers, hurts your bottom line.
Awaiting a verdict shouldn't mean awaiting change to what is so clearly broken. That’s why we’ve just donated $10k to
@NAACPmpls
to help fight systemic racism. We stand with our Black employees, customers, partners, and community.

Yikes.
We're not exactly an exception. We 🧡 feedback, but it comes with hard truths: Like our own employees' burnout.
So, we decided to address it. 🧵 (1/4)
