Does anyone else ever have the irresistible urge to put on a tightly-cinched Burberry trench coat and bright red lipstick, and then initiate a hostile corporate takeover whenever they hear the theme song to HBO's Succession?
No? Just me? OK, then.
Anyway, I don't want to belabor today's introduction to THE LATEST, because the first featured article is something I'm exceptionally proud of — not because I wrote it; I am not the author. And I want to preface it by sharing what I wrote in the editor's note you'll find at the top of it:
As the content director for IMPACT, I am proud of how we go out of our way to encourage radically honest and vulnerable storytelling from our contributors — both internal and external — as a means to humanize some of today's most pressing digital sales and marketing challenges for our audience.
This piece is no exception to that, and we are humbled that one of our very own was willing to tell such a raw and personal story that we can all learn from. That being said, due to the sensitive nature of the contextualized subject matter discussed, we want to acknowledge that what follows may be difficult for some to read.
Should you have any questions, concerns, or feedback on this piece, please do not hesitate to contact me directly at lmoorehead@impactbnd.com.
The voices of our readers are just as important as the voices of our own, and my door is always open to you all.
And now, here's THE LATEST...
👉 "How did poor UX exacerbate the tragic loss experienced by an IMPACTer, and what can we learn from it?" (12-minute read)
IMPACT Director of Client Success Dia Vavruska was hundreds of miles away from home when she found out she was pregnant. Although she and her husband, Mike, were excited, they listened to friends who said not to share the news until they were through the first trimester. Then, at their 12-week appointment, their world came to a screeching halt. They had lost their baby. As Dia put it, "My pregnancy was over and my world was shattered." Unfortunately, her pain did not end there. In this raw, emotional, and educational piece that is a must-read for every digital marketer, Dia explains how poor UX across multiple sites took what was already a tragic event and made it so much worse.

👉 "We've never heard of Jumpshot, so why does every digital marketer need to know about what happened?" (3-minute read)
You haven't heard of Jumpshot but, last week, it was shutdown amid controversy surrounding user data privacy and allegations of selling user information. This is a big deal because Jumpshot supplied invaluable click and buyer journey data many of you have likely accessed through tools like Moz, SEMrush, and more — and folks like Sparktoro co-founder and Moz founder Rand Fishkin (who called the move "wrong") are not happy. In this article from IMPACT VP of Marketing Vin Gaeta, you'll learn everything you need to know about the Jumpshot shutdown (including expert analysis), and what the future looks like for digital marketers without one of the most powerful sources of how people truly use the web.
