Other items were having to do with: Getting trench writers in Providing more complexity to image library to reduce required internal work and decision Maureen having a deputy/asset level equivalent Items where complexity would become involved are systemizing the horizontal workflow of story iterations. Implementing HootSuite to maximum potential, benchmarking; and posting on time tiers to eliminate redundancy where page posting may be inefficient due to fan redundancy, etc For lists, assuming the 40% reduction is as projected; and assuming no improvement to RTK status, should still get to a satisfactory margin. Free on cell if have time to inventory.

I'll get him connected to Maureen.  He's not available though until Monday.
