Talk about 6 degrees of separation. If you are more than 3 degrees from Terry, and you are in the media or ad industry, you need to change that immediately. The industry certainly would not be the same without Terry (or Luma Partners). #adtech #leadership #podcast #banker

Why every seed-stage startup founder’s first hire should be a product marketer By hiring a product marketer, your startup can strategically position itself for product market fitβ€”and ultimately, the critical A round.

I'm writing a series of articles @fastcompany.com on what #marketing capabilities/hires are essential for Seed, Series A, B, C+ companies (based on decades of experience). Here's the 1st article in the series: www.fastcompany.com/90973859/why... (First marketing hire vs first overall hire) #startup

During an era of failing traditional media, TechDirt is absolutely killing it covering, explaining, contextualizing what is happening. Not a surprise if you’ve read them for a while.
