I hope you and your loved ones are safe today. As I check in with my friends around the world, Maya Angelou's words ring in my ears. In the eyes of the coronavirus, "We are more alike, my friends, than we are unalike. We are more alike, my friends, than we are unalike. We are more alike, my friends, than we are unalike." If you want to say hi, just reply to this email. I'd love to hear from you.
If you've got some time today and you feel like going deep into a digital marketing issue that is likely to be accelerated by the coronavirus crisis, Ross and I interviewed our good friend Rob Master, Unilever's VP Media and Digital Engagement, for the new episode of Think About This with Shelly Palmer & Ross Martin. Listen here.
Lastly, please accept my personal invitation to join PGX: a new private, curated, social network focused on technology, business, culture, and innovation. PGX was created to provide a moderated environment for thought leaders (like you) to engage in civil, Socratic debate. You can join at pgx.tech.
Does the world really need another social network? No. But PGX is not just another social network. First, it is invitation-only, curated, and the content is moderated. Second, there are no ads, we do not allow political howling at the moon, we do not allow branded content, and we do not allow blatant promotion or sales messaging.
PGX is about thought leadership -- that’s why I want you to join. I’m interested in your POV on the subjects discussed on PGX. Please explore the network. I am sure you will be enriched by interacting with the remarkable group that has self-assembled over the past few weeks, and I know we will all benefit from your participation. Thanks in advance. -s
