The Content Marketing Train Has Taken Off, Are You Onboard?
The best way for brands to connect with people is to behave like them–reacting and responding to the world around them as things happen. This means they need to be as instinctive, natural and–most important–creative as everyone else. But, as the velocity of content increases, the timeframe for responding decreases. Brands need to jump in…
New Music Tuesday: A Sauna for the Soul by Dave Waeltz
I got married a few weeks ago. We kept our stress level pretty well under control but I don’t think either of us really took a minute to relax until this weekend. That’s when we took a long drive up north to the beautiful shores of Lake Superior in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula for a bed…

“Spotify holds a very special place in my heart. I don’t think I could function in the day to day without it, and nothing has ever held up against it. ” -Nicole Emenhiser Sometimes loving Spotify is like having a crush on your bully. You think they’re sooo cool but you’re pretty sure they just…

New Music Tuesday: A Merge Records Mixtape
Arguably the most successful independent record label of the last two decades, Merge Records has consistently been curator of the perhaps most eclectic, unique, and inventive recording artists bearing the loosely defined category of “indie”. But the bands on Merge aren’t indie for the sake of being indie – the music they make is genuinely different because the…
How Thinking Like a Marketer Can Improve Your Marriage (From a Typical Dumb Guy)
Happy Wife I used to watch a lot of HGTV’s House Hunters, until one too many platitudinous husbands acquiesced to some decision with the nauseating phrase “happy wife, happy life.” It’s so unoriginal and just . . . bleh. I’ve since moved on to greener television pastures, but in the moments when I’m actively trying…

The OODA Loop, SEO and Digital Marketing: Act (Part Five)
Ernest Hemingway said, “Never confuse movement with action,” and I think he’s right. Movement without action is life without soul. Movement without action is mechanics without meaning. It’s creating a content marketing editorial content calendar, and never writing meaningful content. It’s writing blog posts “just because,” and not because the content helps your customers. It’s…
New Music Tuesday–Smells Like Teen Spirit
Being a teenager in the 90’s was tough. When the entire world was against us we didn’t have Twitter to channel our tantrums into dramatic status updates and hashtag acronyms at each other. We did teen angst properly–by drinking cheap beer in a field and listening to angry, tortured pop songs. IN THE RAIN. While…
