With Boston’s Ad Club EDGE conference* still fresh in my mind and inspired by Riparian Data’s (shout out to the talented Claire) blog post on what they’re reading, I set out to discover what consumes SoftArtisans.

The questions:
 1. What article did you read this morning?

*Context: The EDGE conference’s topic was CONSUMED and speakers, from NASCAR’s Steve Phelps to New York Times Magazine’s Rob Walker, talked about (in the words of @schneidermike, Senior VP of Allen & Gerritson) “how brands and marketers are approaching this collision of media and data to better understand how their audience consumes content and what consumes them.”
