April Fool’s Day can be a great occasion for brands to share stories - as part of their content strategy - that are outrageous, fun, and, well, an April fool. But they’re also dangers with them. In 2020,  April fools jokes would’ve seemed rather tone-deaf with the Covid pandemic just starting to ramp up and society locking down.

I’ve done a number of April fool campaigns: Market research platform releases positivity-only filter  BREAKING: Neighborhood marketing committee uses 15,000 billable hours to sell free desk on the curb Study: The future of content is emoji content to drive relevance I discuss my checklist in this episode and you can also read it here: http://christophtrappe.com/april-fool

That reply pulls from a template that you have to create in Gmail. In this episode, I discuss: Creating templates in Gmail Automatically respond to common email requests in Gmail Read more in this blog post: http://christophtrappe.com/how-to-automatically-respond-to-emails-in-gmail
