Sentence 66

Before However, I believe there are a few truths that the frenzy over growth hacking often tends to gloss over or miss. After However, in all the frenzy raised by growth hacking, I believe there are a couple of truisms that are often glossed over. Notes: Truth vs. Truism - Word Choice few truths vs. couple of truisms There were only 2 truisms raised in the article from which I took the 'before' version. So I felt it more appropriate to say 'couple of truisms'. Rephrased the 'after' sentence for clarity of thought and expression.

After The longer I work in marketing communications, the more I see an industry asking the wrong questions – in both good and bad ways. Notes: The 'Before' version is not parallel in construction.   I've made the sentence parallel. The longer....the more.... Within vs in - Word choice Removed 'industry' the first time it occurred since it is repeatedly used.

Sentence 63

Sentence 62

Before: A highly-motivated team, what works for them is that they have one eye on the result. After: A highly motivated team, what works for them is that they are result-oriented. Notes: Keep in mind, though, that we never use a hyphen with an -ly adverb + adjective combination in front of a noun or pronoun. Here are examples with the -ly adverb + adjective constructions: She was a  highly motivated  employee. (Source:  http://www.getitwriteonline.com/archive/040201hyphadj.htm) "one eye on the result"...what about the other eye?? :P It sounds weird. So have replaced it with  " that they are result-oriented."
