JD Peterson is Senior Vice President of marketing at Scripted.com. I’m not even sure what that means but he tells me he spends a lot of time looking at data and talking with customers. Scripted started out as a marketplace to connect screenwriters with studios. After three years of struggle they pivoted and within 11 months raised their first $1 million in funding. They now connect writers with businesses that need content.
JD has sponsored this week’s prize which is 50% off your first scripted order. Tell us in the comments the number one thing holding you back from using Scripted (or a similar service) to have content written for your clients.
Some of the highlights of this episode include:
