Get Smarter Marketing

Jill Brennan · 2017
64/100
👎 Skip It

This one lays out a genuinely usable two-part marketing plan — figure out who you are, then figure out who your customer is — and Jill Brennan keeps it grounded in real small-business budgets rather than big-agency theory. It's especially handy if marketing still feels like a fog to you, though folks who've already got the basics down may find themselves nodding along without learning much new.
