Stupid Slogans – Where’s the Creativity?

April 30th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Advertising, Marketing, Slogans

Welcome back! The past two days, I (Roger) have hoarded myself up in a hotel outside of Cincinnati (Florence, KY to be exact).

Cincinnati Social Media Breakfast Review

April 29th, 2008 · 6 Comments · Social Media

This morning (April 29, 2008), I (Roger) attended a social media breakfast in Cincinnati at the Holiday Inn in Newport that was “headlined” or “emceed” (whatever term you’d prefer to toss in here works for me) by Albert Maruggi. One of the primary reasons I decided to attend was that I’ve listened to Albert’s podcast, [...]

Social Media Club Louisville: Meeting 3 Review

April 16th, 2008 · 6 Comments · Social Media

Best Time to Look for a New Job?

April 9th, 2008 · No Comments · Sales / Marketing, job search
