Last week, 9to5Mac pointed out that Apple had changed its App Store guidelines to allow push notifications to be used for marketing and advertising. This is a reversal of a policy that prohibited notifications for being used for direct marketing purposes.The relevant language reads as follows (emphasis added):Push Notifications must not be required for the app to function, and should not be used to send sensitive personal or confidential information.

I’m amazed at how many times a well-educated, experienced marketer gets a work request with multiple pages of instructions and zero room for any thinking whatsoever.In agile marketing, we try to keep pretty clean lines between what stakeholders want and how it’s going to be delivered. Since marketers are closest to the ones doing the work, they need to own the process of how this will happen.Work should come to an agile marketing team with some information, which can include serving the customer or market as well as how this work will benefit the stakeholders.
