I’ve been busy

Swamped actually. Between the demanding position as the new Interactive Creative Director at MediaCross, and my demanding friends & freelance clients, I have been working really hard on a few projects over the past two months. I’ve been working in trade on a couple of pieces in order to help out some new small businesses in this down economy, which is paying for wedding flowers, cocktails, and concerts. This all started back in August around the time I went out ... more → Read!

3 essential free internet marketing tools

I don’t usually do product recommendations or endorsements, but in the spirit of that recently-passed and beloved pitchman, Billy Mays, I am going to make a recommendation of 3 services that make my life easier as an internet marketer.

Not only does this allow ... more → Read!

How to hijack discussion.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve discussed Twitter more often than I’ve actually used the service.
