    Blythe Brumleve - CEO - Digital Dispatch - Jacksonville, FL


    1. Say you’re a marketing person and because of layoffs, you now have other duties on your plate including your marketing responsibilities.  What strategies do you keep and what duties do you leave behind when you can’t afford to get into a time suck?
