The Brief — every Thursday

What’s worth knowing in marketing, weekly.

A weekly read for people who do marketing for a living. Written, not generated — and worth opening whether or not you are looking for a job.

Free. Written by hand, not generated. One click to stop — and we never sell the list.

The Brief Every Thursday
The Read

One thing worth understanding this week — a shift in a channel, a platform change, a number that moved and why.

Teardown

One piece of work, pulled apart. What the team was actually trying to do, and whether it worked. Not an awards roundup.

Moves

Who is building a marketing team right now, who just left one, and what that usually tells you about where a company is headed.

A sample issue. The roles are open on MKTHIVE right now; the rest of each week is written by hand.
