Being Always

Most of us have been fortunate unfortunate enough to experience the terrible tagged photo on Facebook, or that one you’d just rather not have your clients, colleagues and family see. Believe me, I’ve been there, and I’ve untagged a fair amount of photographs in my day. As I mentioned before, I even once deleted my [...]

Dipping in the Company Ink?

When I was 16, I worked with my high school sweetheart in our small town’s coffee shop. We met there the summer before my senior year, he was already a couple years out of school, and soon after meeting we fell deeply into teen angst filled love. We coordinated our schedules to always work at [...]

So, I’ll see you at Blog World, right?

No, no you won’t. I’m not going to Blog World Expo and up until today I was feeling semi-anxious about it. Working in the social media space, I frequently see a stream of conference hashtags of events that I am or am not at. Whether it’s 140 or Social Media Club event there is pressure [...]

I must have dreamed you up, my darling, dear, sweet iPhone

I’ve had a friend staying in town with me for the past week, and when I woke up this morning (after getting the sleep we talked about) to take her to the airport she asked if I remembered my dream.

“Oh, I don’t [...]

It would be hard to deny (unless you’re in a very niche sector) that social media has become a must-have component of every public relations campaign. With that said, I’ve seen a lot of agencies and brands knee-jerk into the medium without really thinking about the strategy behind what they’re doing. I’ve seen it separated [...]

Traditionally the events are a great opportunity to network and learn from other members of the industry. Having been to a number of them myself, I’ve come up with a few tips for [...]

How to become Internet Famous (nearly overnight)

We’re all engaging in social media for a reason, and for most of us, that’s to be seen. We all want the best in the business to see us and know who we are. We all want to be recognized as social media experts, and recognized as someone with  Klout. So how do you get [...]

Did you forget how to be social?

A comment to my last post got me thinking about the vastly different ways individuals use social media and in order to strategize effective social media campaigns. I’ve had to step back quite a few times and think about the reasons why I used to use social media — the days before I had clients [...]
