🦸 You Don't Need a Cape
Matt Snodgrass
Director of Community

Hi Friends,

At some point as a kid, you might have envisioned yourself as a superhero. And though by now you've realized flying or X-ray vision aren't feasible, you also realize you can help your marketer friends and make the marketing world a better place.

We've just launched the MarketingProfs Referral Program, which makes it easy—and rewarding—to share this newsletter with like-minded marketers.

When a friend turns me on to a new podcast, newsletter, or interesting piece of content, it means something. I know a friend wouldn't lead me astray, so I'm more inclined to take a look. In fact, that's how I discover most new content sources nowadays.

And, let's be honest, when you provide some helpful resources to someone, it makes you look like a hero.

So check out the program and share some helpful marketing insights with your peers.

Not all heroes wear capes. Some just help their friends and colleagues become better marketers.

Sincerely,

Matt
