October 16, 2019 by Katherine Watier-Ong 1 Comment

In September, I attended both the DC Digital Marketing Summit and the Advanced Search Summit. I really learned a ton from both shows, but the one new idea that I took away from the Digital Marketing Summit was this: Turn whitepapers into audio files for more consumption Did you know that reading a white paper […]

June 5, 2019 by Katherine Watier-Ong Leave a Comment

Usually I start off these monthly updates with what I’ve learned this month, but I didn’t want to bury the important Google announcements, since there was quite a few.

November was a busy month for search with a major algorithm update over the Thanksgiving holiday.
