Well my first official speaking gig wrapped last week at Search Engine Strategies, and I had a blast. Definitely had some nerves up to and during my session titled “Social Media Solutions On A Budget”, but overall, I think it was a success. Much of what I covered was pulled from many of the blog posts I’ve written over the years here. Concepts such as using Linked In Groups to drive blog traffic, tools such as Hootsuite, BrandMentions.com & Sprout Social all were covered in my ...

Attending & Speaking At Search Engine Strategies 2011
I'm definitely looking forward to attending at Search Engine Strategies in New York next week. It will be my return to a show I attended quite often during my tenure at Microsoft Advertising. This time around I've gotten the folks over at SES to actually put me on stage where I will be speaking on a panel for the Social Media Solutions On A Budget session that I actually pitched and had accepted. For those of you attending, I would love your support and feedback. The session will be on ...
Strategies 360 Is Hiring: Marketing & Social Media Associate
Like I mentioned in my earlier post, things couldn’t be better in my new gig at S360. So good in fact that it’s only taken a little over a month and a half to already need to hire my first team member and I couldn’t be more excited about it.

How To Blow It As A Business On Halloween
Yesterday my family and I went on our yearly trek to the Mill Creek Town Center where we’ve found it to be a great trick or treat location. It’s a terrific hip/trendy outdoor shopping area, and the crown jewel of the town. They host great events, and the Halloween celebration is always a hit with the kids. The local businesses do a great job at dressing up their stores, themselves, and creating a fun, safe atmosphere for kids to trick or treat. It’s a win-win as the ...
Strike Two With The Ad Age Power 150
Denied. Twice. Despite working hard to build a better blog, I’ve been turned down again by the Ad Age Power 150. Many of you may not even know what that is. For those that don’t, the Ad Age Power 150 is a list of the top ranking English language marketing blogs in the world. Of course self-proclaimed, but the reality, there really isn’t another resource that competes these days. For that reason, cracking this list has kind of been a goal of mine, and definitely a motivator in my blogging. Don’t ...
The Traditional Resume Is Dying
The sooner the better I say. There really is no reason to have to be dealing with word documents and pdfs anymore with the rise of Linked In (or even leading jobsites like Monster). Any HR department with any common sense must certainly see the value in being able to simply get the information they need quickly without having to dig through email attachments. There is a tremendous amount of value to having your resume be a living and breathing entity read here to know more. It gives ...
