As I type this, I’m on a 6 am flight from Palm Beach to Syracuse due to an emergency on top of an emergency. And I’ll step out into the frigid air with a suitcase full of skirts and flip slops. The outfit I wore driving to the airport in Spokane will have to do […]
Respond To Negative Comments Without Backing Down
Receiving negative comments or harsh criticisms doesn’t necessarily mean you, as the brand, are in the wrong. But dealing with the naysayers without backing down from what you stand for can be a trick. A former employer of mine used to survey the crap out of customers. Everywhere you went, surveys were thrust in their […]
Content Marketing is Just Good Marketing
Any fans of “Miracle on 34th Street” out there? Kris Kringle had all these great ideas. Do you remember? He introduced the idea of creating a massive notebook containing products and services available throughout New York City. If a customer came in looking for something Macy’s didn’t carry, the sales associates would be able to direct […]
Wishing You a Happy Holiday Season
Hi. I haven’t forgotten you. I actually had posts scheduled for last Friday, Monday and yesterday. I went back and forth between posting my regular content that was scheduled and writing a reaction to last week’s events (which I did and chose not to publish). And then I decided to stick with what I felt […]
The Jargon-Free Explanation of a Digital Marketing Strategist’s Job

Track Your Content Results to Offline Activities
This is a modified version of a post I wrote for Spin Sucks earlier this year. Are you tracking the effectiveness of your online content with offline results? Let me step back and explain why I’m asking this question. My Bernese Mountain Dog Jackson is really big. He has hip and elbow dysplasia, poor baby […]
How to Measure Social Media
I know to some of you, this is a topic that has been beaten to death. But I get asked this question. A lot. If you’re in the digital marketing and social media space, you’re more than likely not going to learn anything new here. But you might find a point or two you’d like […]
Make Word of Mouth Stupid-Easy For Your Customers
When the ticket seller handed me my lift ticket to Heavenly Mountain Resort on Thanksgiving morning, he suggested I log into EpicMix so I could track and share my activity on my social networks. Of course, I did exactly as I was told while I rode up the gondola for my first run of the […]

Is anyone reading today or are you all out shopping? As I type this, I’m the passenger as we drive across Nevada on our way home from spending the holiday with good friends in Lake Tahoe. We have our Verizon Mifi, USB jacks, podcasts, and all sorts of technology to keep the two-day road trip […]
