Making some small changes to my newsletter | Google announces its first fold phone
Will fold phones become the next trend?
Hope everyone has been well. I decided to make a few changes to the newsletter. I have now separated tech and marketing reads into two sections which makes it easier to track both sections separately.
Although both are quite similar (I’d argue all the big social media channels are related to tech), I want to keep them separate moving forward.
Either way, don’t forget to share the newsletter out 😊
