“As the online community continues to evolve, we felt it was time for everyone, not just paid subscribers, to have the advantage of complete access to our online research briefs,” said Flint McGlaughlin, director of MEC Labs, the publisher of The Marketing Experiments Journal. “The kind of results we are generating with our research is so useful and easy to put into practice, that it can make a tremendous difference in how well a company succeeds online.
