Why All Marketers Should Only Use Mobile Devices For a Weekend

I’m going to ask you to do something that might sound scary. I want you to turn off your computer for the whole weekend. Turning off your computer could actually make you money. No, it’s not because you’ll be more rested. The catch is that you can still use your smart phone or tablet. So […]

What to avoid when renaming your social media username

Changing your social media username is a big deal, especially if it’s part of a rebrand. Give the process proper respect and don’t make these rookie mistakes.

Are You Vulnerable? A Security Checklist For Marketers

When was the last time you double checked to make sure your data is secure? What about the data you handle for your clients? We recently told folks using Raven software they should change their passwords after we responded to the Heartbleed bug, which affected half the Internet.

5 Ways to Segment Social Media Audiences Without Advertising

The most powerful way to segment social media audiences into really granular slices is by advertising. The catch? It costs money. If you add a credit card to a social network, seemingly limitless filtering options become available. Sometimes the investment is worth it.

5 Personal Writing Metrics Every Content Marketer Should Track

When I started tracking my walking metrics with Fitbit, I began walking faster and more frequently. I started running up and down flights of stairs and parking farther away from the office.

Dear Raven, Where’d you get your name?

When I joined Raven, I was excited that our name and logo was so sexy. On my first day, Alison gave me a Raven shirt and I put it on right then and there. Raven fits. But why does the Raven brand fit so well? I put my research hat on to learn the details […]
