Google News has forever changed how readers keep up with the world around them. Previous generations of newsreaders first had to pick up a publication and then sort through, page by page, to find the headlines that captured their attention (oh, the tedium!). Never again. Today's newsies only need to visit Google News to behold an aggregated page of multiple sources that are grouped by topic and displayed in order of the reader's personal interests.

About 150 years ago, the legendary retailer John Wanamaker quipped, “Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is I don’t know which half.” Throughout the ensuing decades, many CEOs have echoed Wanamaker’s lament as they have struggled to quantify their return on marketing investment. Some marketers have despaired of ever being able to connect a sales impact to a specific and unique element of complex and multi-faced marketing plans – preferring instead to use their “gut” to guide marketing decisions and to rely on anecdote or vanity metrics to justify the results. However, in our era of data-driven marketing, this “know-nothing” approach has become increasingly untenable as CFOs and CEOs demand more exacting demonstrations of marketing ROI. And indeed the science of marketing attribution has come a long way since Wanamaker’s day.

One of the most critical components of a brand's online presence is its website. But it's no longer enough just to have a website – layout, design and user experience play a huge role in the way potential and current customers perceive a company. In fact, according to HubSpot, customers will stop engaging with a website if images don't load quickly or properly, if the content and layout are unattractive, or if there's no contact information.

I once robbed an entire organization. An office filled with people. Robbed by me. Their leader.
Every year, our small organization conducts 360-feedback surveys and employee engagement surveys. The results improve the leadership and culture that keep us lean, innovative and high-performing. Whether to make the surveys anonymous is a perennial conversation. Each time we traverse the idea of anonymity, one of my mental floorboard creaks, but I’ve never quite pinpointed why.
