Here’s one thing with marketing–you’re never ever really done. You completed one task, three others popped up. You’ve generated 100 opportunities, management now wants 200 more. You’ve released your paid campaigns, and now you have to optimize it. And again. And again. It’s a never ending cycle (but we’re all dopamine addicts, aren’t we) but there...
