Marketing teams have navigated more change in the last 3 years than they have in the last 50 — and in 2020 and during the crisis that now exists, the rate at which companies encounter new decision-making terrain is accelerating. .

I fell in love with design because of the beautiful mockups I would see on sites like Behance and Dribbble.
