The Marketing Success of Mailchimp

Today in the October 5th New York Times there was a wonderful article published about the success of a small business called MailChimp and how they accomplished this while taking the road less traveled.

Carefully consider the following six steps when communicating an organizational change: 1.     Consider the audience. Gilda Bonanno As with any communication, first you have to consider your audience.   Who will be on the receiving end of this communication?   In most cases, you will have several groups, including the managers, individual contributors, support staff and others impacted by the change.   Each group has its own needs and you have t...
