Every prospect who fills out a lead form, especially those who download a top of funnel ebook, is not ready to talk about your product. Sometimes they are, but the action of downloading that ebook doesn't tell you that in any way. This is where lead nurturing comes in. Modern marketers know that they must learn more about their prospects before passing them along to sales. Marketing starts and nurtures that relationship with additional contact and content. The follow...

Advertising luminaries such as Eric Wheeler at Ad Age and Bill Lee in the Harvard Business Review have long declared that campaigns are dead. While some campaigns are dead (see the 2016 Iowa Caucus), the idea that structured marketing campaigns are dead is being a bit over-hyped, particularly by social media gurus. In the Princess Bride, Inigo is distraught because he thinks his friend Westley is dead. Max the Wizard responds, “Well it just so happens that your friend here is...
