Not smart vs. stupid

Seth's Blog

Not smart is a passive act, remedied with learning, experience and thought. Stupid is active, the work of someone who should have or could have known better and decided to do something selfish, impulsive or dangerous anyway.

From third-party cookies to zero-party data: The new rules of email engagement

Hubspot Marketing

A few days ago, Jane was browsing for new sunglasses. Before she knew it, every site she visited was showing her relevant ads. It wasn't magic. Just algorithms working with behavioral data.

This behavioral science principle can make your billboard go viral, here’s how

“If it breaks, we’ll know how to fix it.” Old cars had an oil light, and that was about it. Often, we build things hoping they’ll work.

Which shelf is yours?

A friend sorts his records in an interesting way: not by name or genre, but by which musicians are friends with each other. That means some shelves are very crowded, and I’m imagining a few notorious artists have plenty of room all to themselves. It’s possible that we sort the folks in our lives this way as well. The people who can be counted on, who are part of a larger circle, who are dynamic or interesting or selfish… lots of shelves, available to anyone willing to put in th

Marketing results don’t add. They multiply and synergize.

Martech

Most marketing measurement models operate on a simple assumption: effects are additive. Campaign A drives 100 leads, Campaign B drives 200, so the total impact is 300. But in reality, marketing often defies this logic. Some efforts multiply the effects of others. And in some cases, combined initiatives create outcomes that are greater than the sum – or even the product – of their parts.
