Hey marketing team :) everything sounds great to me - thanks Noah and Ashley.
Just a side note to your question Ashely. The email was a write down of thoughts I had and ideas I thought could help to spread the word. Maybe some of them fit - maybe none of them :) . Everything is ok with me. I think at the end it's just great, that we started discussing all of this. There have no things started yet but I think we will make good progress and start things. I guess it's cool (what Noah said) to find a place (at the Wiki) to put everything together, discuss it and start taking action :) Thanks Andy On 2 February 2014 17:11, Ashley Parkes <[email protected]> wrote: > Sounds awesome!! > > Twitter -> Facebook: you first connect it to your main profile, then it > gives you the option to reconnect it to a Page you manage.
