  I’m going to tell you a secret about content marketing – particularly blogging. In fact, I can sum it up in one word and that’s ‘voice.’ I believe the best blogs are those that offer perspective. Let’s use my client, Leonard Baer (known to most as “Lennie”) as an example. Lennie is an elder […]

In a post last week, Mark Schaefer questioned if we are reaching the end of the startup era. He argues that conglomerates like Facebook, who have virtually unlimited resources, destroy or acquire meaningful startups. While Mark is specifically speaking of tech businesses, companies like Walmart have been doing this for years – manufacturing a one-stop […]

In case you haven’t noticed, social media is constantly changing. From the user interface to new channels developing daily, social media is far from a complacent form of a communication.  I tell our customers this often, because clearly these changes affect how we use social media as a marketing tool.

I’m thrilled when they understand how we can […]

In my last blog, I shared why we can’t help a business that won’t help themselves. I was speaking specifically about the clients who don’t take our advice – or those who selectively work with us. I find the best clients – the ones who actualize results by outsourcing social media – are those who […]

We’ve had our fair share of clientele over the years. B2B. B2C. Start-ups. Coffee shops. Commercial Realtors. HVAC companies. Skin care offices. Weight loss clinics. But, no matter the industry, I find the best clients – the ones who actualize results with their social media efforts – are those who generally take our advice and […]
