Hey {{first_name | Brew}}
Fresh look, same brew. We've redesigned the newsletter and hope you enjoy it. Let us know how we did in the poll at the bottom.
One more thing: a reader asked us to flag dog-friendly places and events, so we're testing a little “DOG FRIENDLY” tag on spots we can confirm welcome dogs. Tell us if it's useful.
First, a word from our sponsor:
A free newsletter with the marketing ideas you need
The best marketing ideas come from marketers who live it.
That’s what this newsletter delivers.
The Marketing Millennials is a look inside what’s working right now for other marketers. No theory. No fluff. Just real insights and ideas you can actually use—from marketers who’ve been there, done that, and are sharing the playbook.
Every newsletter is written by Daniel Murray, a marketer obsessed with what goes into great marketing. Expect fresh takes, hot topics, and the kind of stuff you’ll want to steal for your next campaign.
Because marketing shouldn’t feel like guesswork. And you shouldn’t have to dig for the good stuff.

Fifteen dog-and-handler teams just ran Cape Town's first K9 competition, and Dash from Table Mountain National Park came home with first place in open area detection. He sniffs for a living and still wins best in show.
Gian-Quen Isaacs, 21, trains between Cape Town and Bergamo, and she is now the first South African woman to win Diamond Spin in Poland. She sat sixth after the short programme, then skated a free programme good enough for gold.
Look up on the night of 24 to 25 October, when the Moon and Saturn will sit side by side in the sky. Saturn should show up as a steady golden dot next to the much brighter Moon, no telescope needed, just a clear view and a cloud-free forecast. The Hunter's Moon follows on Monday morning. Free entertainment, no ticket required.

Fact of the day
Did you know?
A mantis shrimp's club accelerates as fast as a .22 calibre bullet, and the collapsing bubble it creates can stun prey even when the punch misses.
