It’s Only Common Sense: Build Your Business on Reputation, Not Neglect

04/08/2026 | Brittany Martin -- Column: The Marketing Minute
In digital marketing, we tend to rely on the same set of metrics: Average read time. Bounce rate. Session data. For years, these metrics have been the default for gauging marketing success, so it makes sense to rely on them.
