Frequently asked questions
Is this a news site or a consulting business?
Both, run by the same person. This page is where the news, data and free resources live. The advisory work, covering MarTech and data, governance and AI, growth strategy and media operations, is a separate but related practice. See Business Challenges for what that actually looks like.
How often is this page updated?
Whenever there’s something worth publishing, not on a fixed schedule. Each section above pulls the most recent posts in that category automatically, so what you see is always current.
Are the calculators and glossary actually free?
Yes, no sign-up required. Use the media calculators or the glossary as often as you like.
How do you choose the partner offers and affiliate deals?
For relevance to people working in media, marketing and adtech. Some links are affiliate links and may earn a commission at no extra cost to you, but being featured here isn’t a specific recommendation for your situation.
Where should I start if I don’t know what I’m looking for?
Editor’s Picks is the shortest path to the content that’s actually worth your time. If you’re facing a specific business problem, Business Challenges is the better starting point.
