Who Is Behind PPCChat?

PPCChat was started on April 5, 2011 by Matt Umbro. Matt stepped away from running and managing PPCChat in the fall of 2017. Since then, it has been run by a group of regular contributors to the Twitter chat. In 2018, Julie Friedman Bacchini of Neptune Moon took over as the main Twitter chat host and organizer. The group is still involved in keeping the community going!

She has presented on PPC topics locally and at industry events such as Hero Conference and SMX East.

Going to record a podcast today with @Ben__Kruger digging into "Improving the Google Rep + Advertiser Relationships". What questions should I ask, or things should I bring up #ppcchat?

(We'll hit the normal things discussed on Twitter but I don't want to miss any ponderings)
