1 Clock Hour | Domain I: Marketing

As intelligent, successful professionals, we assume we know the rules. But the swift pace of our world and the shorthand technological age in which we live have dulled some of our grammatical senses. The good thing is that you don’t have to be an English major to take daily written communication to the next level. You simply need to know where to find the information.
