Newsletter By Emanuel P, SEO & Digital Marketing Consultant, Founder of How About Some Marketing? Ok, I'll keep this one short and sweet. This coming Thursday, starting 7pm EST, I will be the host (and the guest I suppose) of the next How About Some Marketing? webinar with the topic of SEO Mistakes Businesses Make and Are Costing Them Money. I delivered a light version of this presentation at the end of September 2024 at one of the Toronto Marketing Hub events. But this coming Thursday, I'll...

Newsletter By Emanuel P, SEO & Digital Marketing Consultant, Founder of How About Some Marketing? Resisting not to go for the next "shiny object" is one of the most difficult things to do in today's (business) world. It's not just me who gets distracted by Slack, Messenger, Teams, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Outlook, Gmail, or a robot spam call from the United States. I've addressed this issue in past newsletters, but today, I want to take a moment and talk about how distracting offers can be since...

Newsletter By Emanuel P, SEO & Digital Marketing Consultant, Founder of How About Some Marketing? Last week, my X and LinkedIn feeds were talking about the new Jaguar rebranding campaign titled Copy nothing. It seems like 2024 was a year for rebranding as many of the brands I follow (or use) did so - Kit (formerly known as ConvertKit), Envato, and DocuSign. I don't drive a Jaguar (and to be honest, I don't remember when's the last time I saw one on the street, anywhere), so perhaps a...

Newsletter By Emanuel P, SEO & Digital Marketing Consultant, Founder of How About Some Marketing? The other day, I scheduled a doctor's appointment for February 2025. I've been waiting since early this year, and I suppose I got lucky since most people wait even 3 years (36 months) to book this type of appointment. That's one of the problems Canada, the U.K. and some other Western countries deal with these days. Why we got here and what are the solutions is probably a topic for another...

Newsletter By Emanuel P, SEO & Digital Marketing Consultant, Founder of How About Some Marketing? When I was growing up, the only time the word entrepreneurship was mentioned was in reference to... undertakers. Funeral director is the English equivalent term (as per the internet) that's close to what it means - so you can only imagine my confusion when reading in my adolescence about some successful ones in the IT space. Then I read some more books and watched some TED talks and figured out...

Newsletter By Emanuel P, SEO & Digital Marketing Consultant, Founder of How About Some Marketing? I was talking to someone from a mastermind I’m a member of and realized he looked and sounded like David Blaine, so I said to myself - self, it's time to re-watch that David Blaine Ted Talk again. I wrote about it a few good years ago on my Medium blog and in this newsletter back in the day when I knew all my subscribers by their name (and in person). Anyway, here’s the newsletter again, short...

How About Some Marketing? Newsletter By Emanuel P I do what I do because I strongly believe I bring some kind of value. Being consulting or actually working for someone, I need to make a positive difference. When I can’t (and there are instances when I can’t, of course) - I take a step back or aside and re-assess and make room for someone who (presumably) can. I started this newsletter with the purpose of creating some value in your life - be it marketing or, even if you discovered a new song...

Many years ago, when I started blogging, I read a newsletter that said something like, "Never say something like sorry I haven't written for X many days... I've been busy with Y and Z" even if you were absent for a longer period of time. So... I'm not saying anything. I've drafted many newsletters in my mind (no pun intended regarding the subject line of this email), and although some were timely, I've settled on this one today. We've all seen the memes about the Turkish shooter from the...
