Whats our integrated theme for our next quarter, and how are we gonna infuse this into everything we’re doing.
Try and focus on the overall pipeline health of the company rather than just our single individual business unit.
Putting the bigger picture together around the campaigns and the strategy behind this, has been able to help us really show the results of all the efforts together.
