USEFUL APPS & BROWSER EXTENSIONS
A
Digital marketing is time consuming and requires a lot of data, often from many different sources. It takes time to log in and use several different applications and, once those apps are open, you are sometimes reluctant to close them again because that means that the next time you need them you have to do it all over.
Result – we leave many tabs open on our screens and it all gets very messy.
