:: UPDATE

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

"The dog ate our homework"

No, but really. And, if you don't believe that one, we can come up with a list of other reasons why it's taken so long to bring you issue two. About sixteen really good ones, namely the clients we have signed since our last edition in April.

We know it's been awhile since you last heard from us, so we've collected a backlog of small treasures to share with you. Our future issues will be streamlined to offer bite-sized hits of information on a slightly more frequent basis. And continue to focus on data you can use in your own marketing communications!

So stay tuned for 'sequences' - coming to you once a month!

...This time we swear!

Jen, June, Tracy and Marisa
