UPDATE: This conference is still coming to OK, but will be making its debut in the Spring of 2012 with a more intensive format and open to both men and women. Watch this updates as we firm details! — Mandy The name is actually misleading, I think… because the conference isn’t really about getting [...]
I found an article by Inc. magazine on rebranding a company and when it makes sense to do so that I tweeted and amplify’d. I liked the article enough to post the amplify.com note to my blog, too. If you’re a regular reader, you know I almost never “reblog” anything. Bottom line, I thought it [...]
URL: http://www.inc.com/magazine/20101101/could-a-new-name-f… This article is a couple of months old, but I like the way Inc. takes us through the management team and founders’ back and forth ideas, challenges and decisions. Good read for anyone considering rebranding. See this Amp at http://amplify.com/u/bmoqe
No, I wasn’t up for a mob hit (that I know of, anyway). I spent Friday night at the Oklahoma Aquarium in Jenks, OK with my 7-yr-old daughter and 224 other Eastern Oklahoma Girl Scouts. Plus some other moms and leaders of course… altogether, about 300 of us were present for a night of adventure and discomfort. You [...]
I live a digital life. I don’t mean that I’m involved in digital media, though I am (hey, you’re reading this, right, and you probably got here via Facebook, Twitter, or Google). I mean that my first instinct to discover, research, connect or share now involves digital platforms. Cases in point: I saw a tweet [...]
Radio-style interview I did with Doug Stewart of Power to Fight the Big Boys about using social media and PR to effectively market small businesses and achieve the results you want in your efforts.
If you’ve been there, you know it stinks… and sometimes the worst of it isn’t the financial difficulty, it’s the confidence shattering, ego body blow that does you in. While I own my business so I can’t technically “get fired,” it feels very much the same when a client decides to go another route and [...]
At Ignite Tulsa last month, I talked about “Why Passion Doesn’t Change Anything.” I wanted people to come away with the idea that passion, by itself, doesn’t accomplish change, or make love true, or make you money. In other words, don’t be passionate; be effective. And now, those of you out there (and you know who you are) who have an idea, a passion, a… something you know can succeed, have your chance to go be effective.
I don’t write as much about Public Relations on this blog because I write A LOT about Public Relations over on the Journal Record’s PR blog. This week’s PR post is about Waste Mangement COO Larry O’Donnell’s trip to the trenches to experience what his employees actually do during their work day and the chronicling [...]
List posts have their place, and I know they are good for traffic. I’ve written them, too. But our super-connected world and the constant flow of information seems to be driving us to oversimplify complex subjects and interactions. By creating lists. Lots of lists. In some cases, lists of lists. I’m not against all lists… [...]
