Local insights, global trends, new opportunities.

Welcome to this week’s edition of The Digest for Fairfield County Marketing & Media Pros. I’m trying a new format that week. Please feel free to share feedback. If you’re a new subscriber, thank you for reading, and I hope you find this helpful.

You’ll notice the Local Jobs section is growing. I’ve decided to keep all available jobs listed below, rather than updating them weekly. If you’re hiring or know of open roles, please send them my way so I can share them in future editions.

Have a great week!
