The end of the year for an agency (and for most businesses, really) is not so much ending a year as getting ready to begin a new year. I wanted to let you know about a new e-newsletter plan that our agency is rolling out for 2012. We’re starting a new format that blends 3 ingredients we like in e-newsletters…curated content, original written content, and a chance to interact with the sender. We’re calling it The Claymanite 411 because we’ll be curating 4 articles, writing one, and including 1 survey question.
I’m showing the editorial calendar for the year here. If this looks interesting, you can opt-in and look for the first installment on January 4th (Wednesday). No catches – just wanted to let you know what we’re up to!
