How often do you still have to explain the "inverted pyramid" to stakeholders?

It's one of the most foundational principles of web writing—lead with the most important information—but I'm often surprised how many clients or teams want to "build up" to the conclusion.

We believe mastering these fundamentals is what separates good content from great content, so we baked it directly into our new Content Marketing Live Exam (sharing a question from it here).

What's your take on the "skill gap" in digital marketing?

We see a lot of people with certifications who struggle with practical, hands-on tasks. It feels like the education system is failing to produce job-ready talent.

Our attempt to address this is a new platform of free, live exams that simulate real-world problems. The goal is to create a way to verify skills, not just knowledge.

We just announced it today and would love to get this community's take on the approach. first comment link
