Scrum Marketing: Applying Agile Methodologies to Marketing, by James Wright
Posted on March 3, 2016 1 Comment
Recently I’ve become a bit obsessed with agile methodology (of which scrum is a subset) and how marketers can learn from this.

Hat tip to Nicole Williams (see her website http://techmarketer.org/) who recommended this book on Twitter. If you’ve ever been frustrated at your work by a lack of clarity (who hasn’t) or felt like you were being stretched too thin, then you’ll get something out of the advice in this book. I’m a huge fan of […]

Some of the ‘code’ you’ve probably heard […]

How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big: Kind of the Story of My Life by Scott Adams

This guy has some pretty controversial advice! I thought he probably went a bit general and tried to cover everything in this book, but there’s still some good advice in here. The author also freely admits that a cartoonist is the last person you should take advice from! So I’ve taken his advice and ignored […]
