Networking, Social, and Influencer Marketing: the Common Thread

Networking, Social, and Influencer Marketing: the Common Thread

Ever been to a networking event and met that guy who is just rapid-fire handing out business cards and talking about how great he is? Ever received an email from a marketer asking you to do something for her, with no reciprocal value? And we’ve all seen the automated, non-engaged Twitter accounts trying to sell you on best practices for being social, right?

What is truly missing from each of…

The Time to Be Human is Now

The Time to Be Human is Now

We’ve all seen it. The automated bot messages. Twitter accounts that are completely on autopilot. Email automation that makes us simultaneously cringe and want to punch a robot in the face (not recommended, I don’t think you’ll win that battle).

The world is becoming more and more automated, and people crave real human interaction more and more. But not just any human interaction. We need…

What's Trending for 2017? Look to Snapchat.

What’s Trending for 2017? Look to Snapchat.

The beginning of the year is the time everyone starts reflecting less on the year past and more on what is to come, especially in the world of social media and marketing. If you’re curious what kind of things we can expect in the social media landscape, however, you need only look to the direction of one app: Snapchat.

I know, I know. You’ve heard a ton of hype around this app, and you may or…

Why I'm Not a Fan of Instagram's New Feature

Why I’m Not a Fan of Instagram’s New Feature

Instagram has been making some major changes lately, likely as an attempt to curb Snapchat’s popularity and maintain users. I’m actually a fan of many of these new features, including disabling comments, easier reporting of abuse, ability to zoom in on photos, and the constant updates to the stories feature, it’s biggest jab at Snapchat. However, the ability to ‘Like’ commentsto me is just…

A Relentless Focus on the Customer: Surprising Lessons From an ABM Event

A Relentless Focus on the Customer: Surprising Lessons From an ABM Event

Earlier this year, I attended the #FlipMyFunnel B2B Marketing and Sales Festival event in Austin, TX. The event is hosted by Terminus, who you may know is an account-based marketing company. So you’d think the conference would have been solely about ABM. And you’d be wrong. The topic that came up time and time again was a relentless focus on the customer, much to my delight. (Full disclosure: I…

I’m doing a vlog post (almost) every day in April as part of the #SSSVEDA project. Today, let’s talk about cocktails. Because who doesn’t love cocktails, AMIRIGHT? Also, try the one I mentioned in the video. Let me know if you want exact measurements and I will give them to you. It’s tastycakes.

Do you wanna hear a podcaaaaast?

Do you wanna hear a podcaaaaast?

Oh, man. Come on Robzie. An outdated Disney’s Frozen reference? Really? You’re right, dear reader. My apologies. But guess what?? I’m BACK FROM THE DEAD. Ok, p-put the knife down. I said back from the dead, not undead. Whew.

Anyway, guess what again? There is so much that has happened since we last spoke. Firstly…

I’ve started a podcast (as you could probably gather from the title) with a couple…

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  EMERGENCY  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A PROTESTER BY THE NAME OF JOSEPH KENT WAS KIDNAPPED BY BALTIMORE POLICE LAST NIGHT LIVE ON CNN

HERES THE VIDEO

HE IS MISSING!! RT HIS NAME!! RT HIS VIDEO!! AND CALL THE BALTIMORE POLICE AND DEMAND HIS STATUS!!

DONT LET THEM GET AWAY WITH THIS

[whitegirlsaintshit]

The scariest thing about this is the ride to wherever they’re taking him. These vehicles provide blacked out windows, no cameras, and ample time for the police to do whatever they please to Joseph Kent. This happens to people who are suspected of crimes in Baltimore all the time, and sometimes you will be able to see the blacked out vans and police trucks on the highway, driving away from Baltimore. We have no idea where Joseph Kent is or where he is going. But he needs to be located and we need answers.

Jesus. This is important.
