The Importance of Long-Form Content in a Post–Post-Literate Society: Why Short-Form Isn't Enough You and I are supposed to be consuming short-form content on social platforms.

Remembering that Dinger loves Starbucks’ Puppaccinos (whipped cream in a cup), my wife suggested that we hide the pills in a 1/4 cup of whipped cream.

Most B2B deals are won or lost before sales teams even know they exist. This leaves marketing with an important question: How can we influence buyers when they’re still in research mode and haven’t engaged with sales?
