Great coverage of the basics! Mon, Nov 8, 2021
I've been trying to learn this stuff for a while in other places. I didn't want to have to register for college coursework again but then I found out about this marketing workshop series. It helped me understand a lot and gave me a good basis from which to understand what I need to focus on when building out my 1st marketing strategy.
