What Kobe Bryant can teach you about succeeding with AdWords
April 13, 2016, marked Kobe Bryant’s final game in the NBA. He went out in a blaze of glory, scoring an insane 61 points. Kobe’s career will most likely be remembered for three things: the contents of his trophy case, the rings on his fingers and the color of his jersey.

Not only did his knowledge of AdWords improve, but with that knowledge came the confidence to experiment with new strategies that led to new areas of success.
