The true cost of a story...
We're clear at GPP that one of our focuses is faster content creation so you can do more with less, or in less time. Why? Well, content isn't free to make and until someone is reading it, it's just time and budget spent.

Amazon's "Twitch for radio"
So... doing a bit of that brand building? Perhaps start your own radio show: Amazon pushes further into content as it Beta launches Amp, an app which lets users DJ their own radio station and stream it to an audience.

You're no Shakespeare (thankfully)
If you are attempting to do some brand-building, or feel the need to saddle your staff with some interesting-sounding job titles or job descriptions, 'storyteller' probably shouldn't be one of them.

Google algo update - maybe
File this one in your 'keep an eye on it' folder: chatter in SEO and webmaster circles suggest there might have been a Google algorithm update last week.
