Everyone could use a little inspiration now and then. Marketers can sometimes find themselves in a rut, churning out the same messaging over and over again. Particularly strict brand guidelines might imprison your creativity, you might feel siloed without innovative input from others, or perhaps you just need to someone else’s insight to reanimate your own visionary genius. Occasionally, someone else might say or do something that strikes the right chord and enables your imagination to run wild and free. Help motivate and generate innovation by sharing these inspirational marketing quotes.

Econsultancy’s post of 35 heart-warming quotations for content marketers and strategists inspired me to create a series of inspiring marketing quotes in image card format for you to enjoy and share with others. This is the first of several posts that will include shareable cards.
