126-5: Takeaways from PI Live – Affiliate Marketing, Influencers, Facebook Ads, Growth Hacking
I’m really pleased to be bringing you another Takeaways episode
Each year I try to go one non-eCommerce focused event to broaden my knowledge.

Influencer Marketing, Affiliate Marketing, and some advertising sessions too.
So yup – not that far from eCommerce, but it gave me a chance to get deep into a few areas I don’t often do a lot of research around.
