U.S. companies spend billions on training each year. What about marketing departments? How much do they spend? What are they getting out of it? And what are they struggling to solve?
In the world of data-driven marketing, more and more tasks require a bit of coding.

I read more than most people, on average 2-3 business books per month. That adds up to a lot of books over the years.
