On the 12th day of Christmas the intern brought to me…a brand-new idea for Satori!
“We should do something like the 12-days of Satori—12 marketing tips” she replied.
“Ashley! That’s genius! Yes! Yes! YES!”
Excited at how much her co-worker and boss loved what started off as a rogue idea, she began to write a different version of the famous holiday classic. Twelve days of marketing tips, with a little bit of added Christmas magic. The idea was to give a little more to small businesses looking for help. The outcome: we created engaging content that was relatable, sometimes funny and had a merry good time doing it.
