Hi there 👋

Hope you're having a great week.

I wrote an article the other day about how our marketing team tracks brand reach. It's a rather noble metric in our industry but quite hairy to actually calculate. I hope our guide might be a useful blueprint for you.

Read on: How to calculate reach →

See below for some of the marketing and management resources that have been useful for me in recent days. Hope something brings a smile to your face or an idea to your brain!

1. How to create a Vivid Description for your company

Write an article that you would love to see published about your company 10 years from now ... (I'm doing this exercise at the moment for Buffer's marketing team. Will report back when I'm done!)

2. Inspiration for building great landing pages

3. One of the best free logo makers I've come across

4. Chartbeat's new research into mobile traffic: search ⬆️, Facebook ⬇️

5. Is your team known and accepted?



6. Unconscious Bias training: great hub of videos and resources from Facebook

7. Takeaways from Mary Meeker's Internet Trends Report

What I learned:

  • Time to figure out how to market on Amazon
  • Social media is big for e-commerce
  • Mobile ads are worth it

Here are the full slides of her report.

8. Great page for Trello board inspiration (and a very effective way of product marketing)

9. Just picked up a new book: Data-Driven Marketing: The 15 Metrics Everyone in Marketing Should Know

Any idea what the 15 might be? (Answers at the end of this email.)  😊

10. Y Combinator podcast on building an inclusive company culture

I thought this line was interesting: 

"Prizing certain teams at companies - it used to be sales teams, now it's engineering teams - prizing certain teams is actually a coded way of prizing certain races and genders. When you treat that class of employees differently than you treat everyone else ... the way you talk to people, the perks people get, the way leadership focuses on one team versus another, when you treat teams different in that way, you're perpetuating society-wide biases about race, gender, and ethnicity. Unless you've achieved perfect diversity and your engineering team is a mirror of society, if you're prizing your engineering team over everyone else, you are perpetuating biases."

Bonus. 🚨Remote jobs alert 🚨

Best wishes if you go for any of these jobs:

 

What I'm Reading

Answer to the question of 15 metrics every marketer should know:

The 15 metrics everyone in marketing should know: Brand Awareness, Test-Drive, Churn, CSAT, Take Rate, Profit, Net Present Value, Internal Rate of Return, Payback, LTV, CPC, Transaction Conversion Rate, Return on Ad Dollars Spent, Bounce Rate, Word of Mouth.

No worries if you didn't get them all. The book was published in 2011, and things change. I hadn't heard of some of these at all!
