This month, our founder Jeanna is sharing two books that made her rethink business culture this year — and they’re likely relevant to every marketing leader going into 2021...

Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less Hardcover – by Greg McKeown

  • This book helps drill down to one important question — what is the essential intent of your business, and your work/team's work? If you're able to answer this question, you have created a clear purpose for your team, clients and website. We've created our Essential Intent at First Page: to grow our client's traffic and revenue, increasing marketing ROI.
