The One Place You Should Focus ALL Marketing
Many times we (marketing professionals) talk about the concepts of an integrated marketing approach. “You should be doing email marketing, billboards, radio ads, blah blah blah blah. ” Sometimes it gets a little heavy… Sometimes it gets a little burdensome. Business owners want to know one thing: How do you drive brand awareness or revenue. As [...]Giving More than You Get and Living the Dream
We have a half-day planning session at Brandswag today. You know how strategic planning goes… you go through values, vision and mission statements, marketing initiatives, and the like… However this is not why I am excited to attend the planning session. I am excited to see the power of six creative minds joined together to [...]The Failing Marketing and PR World
I am becoming increasingly concerned with the lack of blog writing by public relations, marketing, and advertising firms in the city of Indianapolis and abroad. The simple fact that a communications company is not in-tune with the changing landscape of the consumer driven world is troubling… to say the least. If there are any industries that [...]Your Customers are Changing. Are You?

Are you listening to your customer? Are you changing with the way they are communicating to each other? Where is the personality? Where is the [...]Are You Vomiting Ideas Through Social Media?
I know. I know. This is probably not the best title to read early in the morning. For that matter, it is probably not the best post title to read any time of the day. When writing your blog, participating in social media, or just communicating (period) it is important to remember that your readers and [...]Latest Activity

Thanks for the welcome. I joined hoping to find people with similar interests. (specifically in the area of wines) I'd like to join or maybe even start a wine tasting group.
This looks like a great opportunity to meet new people.
Thanks again
Tim

Well, then I'm in the right place! I've lived in Indiana my entire life, save for the last two years in Illinois. The difference was striking enough to make me wish for home. Most of all, I love the people - there is a genuine-ness about the people who live here that sets you at ease, and makes you want to see your fellow Hoosiers succeed along with yourself. Look forward to the networking opportunity and enrichment provided by Smaller Indiana!

- What do I love about Indiana! Hmmmm, I've thought about this all weekend. I love that you can live in a big city, a mid-size city, a small town or in the country and still be able to experience the other places whenever you want. I love that you can drive a few hours and be in Chicago or one day and be in Washington, DC, or even another country. I love that in that same amount of time you can be back home again in Indiana. Indiana has defined me as a person and wherever I go I will still be a Hoosier through and through!

- Hoosiers are realisticly optimistic. We've always had a true sense that if you worked hard and played by the rules, then you could achieve anything. I think that's total BS, but I love that point of view. What about you?

- Hi Kyle,
Thank you for the welcome.
What I love about Indiana, specifically, Indianapolis: I love the urban-meets-small town feel of Indy. We live in a neighborhood that is both culturally and socio-economically diverse, and offers a feeling of community without being claustrophobic. I like the fact that we're close to other urban centers (relatively speaking): Chicago in particular. I'm glad the sustainability movement is catching up here, and really enjoy the growing network of farmers' markets. As they say, it's a great place to raise your kids--and since we have three, we're especially grateful for that fact. As a writer/aritst, I also enjoy our growing arts community, despite the economic challenges we're dealing with right now.
I'm sure I could think of more to say... but that's a good start!

- Hi Kyle, or Sat Nam, Kyle (a greeting of Kundalini Yoga: The Truth is my Identity) Thank you for starting "10 Reasons You Should NOT Be on Social Media". It is not even listed in your discussions on your page anymore,
I totally loved reading it. Looks like Chris overdominated it, and the discussion is not really there any more. Looking forward to seeing you again some place, Warm Blessings,
