Why we've built
this index?We at The Social Juice built our very own index to let you know what's happening in the advertising and brand-building industry.
Why, you may ask? Our email newsletter covers everything in text, which can be boring. The plan was to build an index that's visually engaging, with a rating system based on a single human's response.
Alongside that, our other yaps/blogs are here to make you aware of what your brand needs to learn from ongoing trends and the best of marketing.
Now, the other problem we tried to solve was the number of PR emails I get about covering different campaigns. With this, you can submit a campaign and have it covered more smoothly, with no back-and-forth emails.
That's the story, and the rest is.
