Almost Productive: A podcast mostly about marketing

The Almost Productive podcast is brought to you by the word nerds, data dorks, web wizards and video virtuosos of New Boston Creative Group. NBCG is a smaller (but mighty!) marketing company based in Manhattan, Kansas.

Tune in to hear stories of office shenanigans, reflections from our remote colleagues and thoughts on trending topics. We’ll sprinkle in some marketing-adjacent information, advice and educational musings too.

We hope you’ll come for the marketing insights and stay for the New Boston charm. And we’ll try to keep the swearing to a minimum … but damn, it’s hard.
