Now with more Corporate Covid-19 response videos!
Welcome to nonostantement:
a weekly newsletter with mesmerizing, questioning and wacky stuff found all over the Internet.
Hi, I am Joele and as you probably know I am a digital strategy consultant, a social media and marketing teacher and - I admit that - an internet crazy person.
These are though times and as I am sending you these links I hope you guys are all safe and in good health at your homes.
If you can, go hug your loved ones now (humans, pets, plants, whatever), even via Zoom - or better, open-source, alternatives ;) - and read this mail later. I don’t mind.
