Last week Amanda, Nick and I took a trip down to Chicago to visit Active Campaign’s headquarters and participate in a workshop they were hosting. Active Campaign in the simplest definition is an email marketing application. My first thought was “Why host a workshop for an email marketing application?" I have worked with other email marketing platforms; all easy to explore and figure out. Why would this be any different? Boy, was I wrong... What is Active Campaign?

This event offered attendees the chance to choose from over 50 mentors for one-on-one coaching sessions through seven-minute [...]
As an online marketer, the only thing worse than being buried deep in Google’s search listings is being stuck there while one of your close competitors ranks in the top three positions. When that happens, you can be tortured by the knowledge that they could be receiving hundreds or thousands of visits from qualified buyers every day while you aren’t. Obviously, that’s not a position you want to be in and one you can’t let continue if you want your business to grow. So, what [...]
From the beginning of February through the 15th, Brew City Marketing held a book drive to collect new or slightly used children’s books. Then on the 16th, we joined Next Door at their book cleaning event sponsored by Good City Brewing. Cleaning Books with Love Upon arrival, we saw that each table was armed with all of the supplies that we needed such as magic erasers, all-purpose cleaner, and rubber cement so we immediately went to work. During this event, we helped clean, repair and sort [...]
We’re very excited for any opportunity to engage with our local community. For that reason, Brew City Marketing will be holding a book drive to support Next Door and Books for Kids.

That’s why we support Next Door’s vision of positioning neighborhood children and families for long-term success. How You Can Help To aid this mission, we will be [...]
