Click, baby, click!

Maybe this scenario has happened to you. You get a report of a spike in clicks for your widgets—and a chain reaction of events kicks in to capitalize on the momentum.

Your blog post just got 100,000 views, so you commission a bunch more posts on the same topic. Or perhaps your newsletter sales pitch generated more clicks than ever. Awesome right? Take a look at this 1 minute video from Adobe to see what their B2B marketing division has to say on the matter (spoilers below!).

To tell a great story, first make sure everyone is on the same page.
