The Death of Business as Usual

Friday, May 24, 2013 by Cody Sharp

Inbound marketing expert, Hubspot, is everywhere and for good reason.  They do fun stuff and provide nice products.  But what they really do well is to use ‘business as usual’ for comedic effect while making the same point as a ‘business as usual’ approach may typically make.  An example of this is a recent Unsubscribe video that recently went up.  When people clicked unsubscribe on an email, instead of simply completing the action and telling you they are sorry to see you go, they make fun of...

Stressed? Then Plan.

Wednesday, March 20, 2013 by Allyson Inglis

I found myself reflecting on the importance of planning yesterday as I spent the evening cleaning and de-cluttering my house (the spring clean concept - in 34 degree weather I might add). When I was finished, I could physically feel the stress melt away. I even had time to sit down with a cup of hot tea and pick up a book to read. I wondered, why don't I do this more often?
