Hi! Feedback from me: Wow! that is a nice report. It might have taken time to compile but it's very appreciated to have this overview of what is happening. If you could (you = someone, not just Ivana) do such an overview once or twice a month (once being already awesome), I think it can help redynamising the promo team and show that stuff happens. Keep on rocking! Cheers, Olivier Le 5 septembre 2017 19:27:35 GMT+02:00, Paul Brown <[email protected]> a écrit : >Great summary.
