Better live up to the hypechicken and egg

Ever been in that position when everyone’s looking to you and you don’t know what to say? Or you have a lot to say, but no one is listening? That’s what happens when you master content marketing OR SEO, but not both. Truth is, it’s like the chicken and the egg – SEO and content work best when they go hand in hand.

Bubble, bubble, burst and trouble?

The Brad Pitt of marketing

If you’ve seen Moneyball, you’ll understand this: rather than assemble a strong team of players you think will play well together, bring in the ones who show statistical results in the precise areas your team needs improvement. That’s the idea of growth hacking – forget the long-term marketing plan, and just focus on what works. Hey, if it worked for Brad Pitt, it’ll work for you.

Until next week, forget about what came first. Seriously, you have better things to do…
