Hello, fellow marketers!

This day before Thanksgiving, yes, the topic of thankfulness is a cliché. And avoiding clichés is one of Ann Handley's top rules (right after "brush your teeth, even if you work from home"—check out the report in today's newsletter for more on that).

But please indulge me as I opine on gratefulness today. We at MarketingProfs have a lot to be grateful for. And one of those things, which may not come up at the dinner table but is spoken of frequently at work, is you. You make MarketingProfs not just a website but a community. We are still amazed at how many of you we met in-person last week at the B2B Forum. We are grateful that we have so much to look forward to in the coming months and year, and that you are on this journey with us.

Enjoy your holidays, and, as always, feel free to reach out with your comments, concerns, and questions—or just to tell us what you're grateful for. We love hearing from you.
