One great aspect of digital media is the ability for your content to travel and to receive exposure from unanticipated sources. With that as a backdrop, consider this case study

Every once in a while I see something and it just makes complete sense to me. These are always great moments and I know we've all had them - that moment where it just clicks. I often look at other businesses, both large and small, and I wonder "how do they do it?" How do they get up in the morning? What processes do they use to run their business?

My clients consistently rely on my to make good decisions and electing to devote much of my energy towards utilizing WordPress has been among my best decisions.

True story. Actually just happened. Fortunately a great business lesson was reaffirmed and no one got hurt in the making of this story.

Do not walk around with marketing blinders on.

Just because you know something and you think it is great, does not necessarily mean that everyone will agree. And while I work and promote digital efforts I always counsel my clients that their digital efforts do not operate in a vacuum and they should never be siloed from all other activities. So here goes.

I know.... I know.... Seems like just this past summer Facebook announced a whole slew of changes that were set to revolutionize the way businesses "do social." I know I
