Marketing Eye Blog Archive - July 2018

Last night I had two hours sleep. I lay in bed for hours on end tossing and turning, thinking about a whole heap of things.

Today is one of those days. I woke up every hour from midnight, ready to get up and pack my bags for yet another trip. 

I have spent my weekend looking at the big picture. Where is my business going? How am I and the rest of my team going to get it there? What is going to make the company more unique? How do we retain our talented team? What incentives do we need to have in place? All the normal questions really.
