Just sending off a quick link to you all.  Anne and I had a talk about this recent experience she had today… thought I’d pass it along.  Good stuff.

I found this link today, and it really cracked me up.  Check it out, and then come back here, and I’ll explain more.

If you end up researching a marketing consultant, don’t get fooled by the constant streams of buzzwords, snippets, and popular phraseology. Get it straight, and if [...]

The workflow model that I employ for my business comes from many years of experiences, good and bad; I learned how businesses succeed with their creative marketing in today’s fast-paced environment from real-life experience. Watching businesses succeed with brilliant creative, and also watching poor marketing drive businesses into the ground. I’ve found that having [...]

Soooooo… we all have heard about Twitter, and we should all be using it to keep those that want to be in the “know” about you and your business informed.  Once you’ve graduated to being a saavy Twitter user and get some followers, you can start browsing through a number of add-ons, apps, and the [...]

I’m always a big supporter of simplicity.  There are so many good reasons to make things simpler in every aspect of your life that it’s almost crazy not to take a few minutes to simply reassess your website, collateral, or marketing layouts, and see what you can do to make things smarter, easier, and more [...]

And it was really, really interesting.
