June is about to get weird for marketers, and most people aren't ready for it. Jay Schwedelson and Daniel Murray get into why the back half of the month quietly tanks webinar attendance, how the World Cup landing on US soil reshapes the email game, and why Amazon shifting Prime Day to early June matters even if you sell B2B software. A heated detour into cloth diapers also happens, because of course it does.
