Best of 2017: Our Top 17 Marketing Articles From the Past Year

If you're reading this, it's likely we've spent a lot of time together over the past year, or even the past few.

We're basically best blog friends and, as blog besties, I know you'll forgive me for bragging for a hot minute.

(Clears throat)

2017 has truly been the best year in IMPACT history.

Simply put, a lot of the pieces we've been trying to put together for years finally fell into place, and we couldn't be more proud or grateful.

Now, I sat down here to write out the highlights eloquently, but quite frankly, there are so many (and we've discussed many at length already), so I think it's best I just list them:

From a marketing/content standpoint (a.k.a. my bread-and-butter), things were just as fruitful. IMPACT:

These are all things that couldn't have been possible without our dedicated team and most of all, loyal readers and supporters like you. Your success, and that of your organization, is why we create and share everything we do.

With that in mind, out of the 472 articles published this year, I'm excited to unveil the top 17 (most viewed) from 2017!
