It has been a dream of mine to offer an on-going education and mentoring program, at an affordable price, and to use that to create an online virtual community (or tribe). This dream is now being realized with The New Media New Marketing Playground. And, because of the very special pricing that I am offering for the first […]
[A Quick Catch Up on Online Video’s Reinvention of Advertising]As most of my readers know, I’ve been an “evangelist” for the digital video revolution, especially as it applies to the democratization of media, for many years. By now, the explosion and importance of online video via YouTube and other hosting platforms (from Wistia and Vimeo […]
Ready for take off? It feels that way to me. Astrologers tell me that when Mercury goes direct on Tuesday, it’s “all systems go!” For me, the latest signs of expansion have come in the form of three videos that showed up in my social streams last week. This clips (all embedded for your viewing […]
We are very pleased to have launched two new WordPress website designs in the last week or so. From an entry level WordPress website that is at the “getting started quickly on a lower budget than we thought we’d ever get from ComBridges” level like the one we just created for Luna Marendi, to a […]

And the real eye opener for me was the way that my business coach explained that this approach can actually open up new revenues. Values = $$? Really? This blog post explains the fortuitous […]
There’s more to successful marketing than formulas or even strategy. You need to “Live Your OWN Life” (even if you are a corporation). That’s the subject of this brand new 6-minute video. “Authenticity Rant #2: ‘Live Your OWN Life,’ Why That’s Essential for Marketing.” This is not easy; but in my experience, worth every once of effort that you put into it.
