We try to have it be tend to be topical focus.

So talking about marketing automation, talking about owned assets, talking about AI, anything that kind of ties back or relates to our product.

And we tried to gamify it a little bit.

We had what we call the 10K club, which means you got at least 10,000 views that week.

And we tried to show what the top performing content was each week to give people specific examples of how they could uplevel

And so, we continued to grow that.

Our first goal was as a team to have 150,000 views a week and then 200,000, then 250,000.

And I think we're a little bit north of 300,000 a week impressions is what I'm talking about right now.

So, we're continuing to try to iterate and improve and just have many different known faces on channels like LinkedIn that can help spread and distribute topical leadership.

I think, again, the key here is we're not just sitting here talking about ActiveCampaign, we're talking about the category.
