Strategic partnerships and other associations like brand collaborations, I’ve always believed, are a brilliant way to leverage the strengths of each party.
Base Creative have recently collaborated with social media tool, ContentCal in the second series of the Sharing Social podcast. We share an audience segment, but we provide very different services (in fact, we’re a customer of ContentCal, as it’s one of the many tools we use to schedule social media posts).
