Another read this year, no particular order. Journey to the Summit by Saher Ghattas of @flawlessinbound.
The inbound marketing book is encased within a fictional story of a marketing manager's challenges with effective marketing in the digital world, pitching to bosses who dont see the value, and providing actual results.
It is primarily focused for larger organizations and for marketing managers as the sub title says.
Still, lots of info packed in the book and worth the read if you're not sure where to begin with online marketing. Or understand the theory behind it.
I've made notes, and I'll be applying some in the new year. #catTax #spankTheCat #catsofinstagram
