Productivity Tools for Digital Marketers
Dave talks about tools that in-house and solo consultants can use and Matt focuses on some growing agencies may want. Between the two they cover a whole number of tools and use cases to help you and your teams be more productive at your job.

Mat loves Slack and Google Docs/Sheets/Etc. and Dave does all he can on the show to not curse about how much he dislikes them both!
