Happy Monday!
I hope you all have a great and productive week ahead.
The past few weeks mark a huge milestone for us at Visual Contenting as we have successfully upgraded our platform to VPS (Virtual Private Server) in order to accommodate our increasing traffic lately. That said, if you visit our site from around the end of February 2018, you may see some interruption while accessing the site. In fact, the upgrading process took our site down for almost a week. Yes, it's a long time for any online business, however, it's well worth it.
Now we have the capability to serve more and more marketers, even when there's a huge spike in traffic, without worrying about interrupting your reading experience. When you come to Visual Contenting, besides getting insightful knowledge from our marketing experts, you can also interact with other fellow marketers, buying/selling your services as well as looking for permanent jobs in marketing from top brands.
- For marketers: You can find your dream jobs (part-time, full-time or temporary positions) in marketing via our job site.

As a marketing copywriter who’s working day in and day out to woo my audience with clever prose and charming insights, it’s my job to make a great first impression on my audience. If I fail, they’re going to move on to something (or someone) else. And I don’t want my audience dating around — I’m after that exclusive kind of relationship.
