The Blind Copy is a newsletter from bcc: highlighting things on the internet I’ve recently found interesting. It’s a swipe file of notes, articles, posts, images, videos, etc., on topics surrounding marketing and communications and anything else that catches my attention online. I hope you enjoy it.

First of all, thank you.

This little passion project of mine has taken off quickly in the last six weeks. Since introducing bcc: to the world, I’ve been fortunate to engage with several new people and enterprises across the country. A very special thank you to the handful of new clients I have the pleasure of working with – we’re already driving new business! I am honored to work with you to tell your unique story.
