  • Podcamp Nashville: Untapped Local Resource

    Podcamp Nashville is one of the largest Podcamp events nationwide, did you know that? As a local resource for social marketing and all things internet, it’s almost like the Internet Knowledge Superbowl here in town. There really isn’t anything bigger or better (unless you count its sister event, Barcamp Nashville). But have you heard of…

  • Scott Stratten: The Humanity of UnMarketing

    Tonite I got a chance to hear an accomplished, best selling author speak to us “social media folks” in Nashville. Scott Stratten, the author, owner and thinker of the ideas in UnMarketing, has a pretty strong grasp on what it means to be “present and authentic” in your own universe. He spoke a bit about…

  • A Career in Internet Marketing?

    You know what’s interesting about a career in internet marketing? I don’t know anyone who is doing it and is unemployed. Nope, not a single person.

  • Notes From #NAMS

  • A Darryl Worley Live Concert local business marketing example

    Tonite I went to a Darryl Worley concert – for free. In fact, when my wife told me this morning that we had to go to the kids’ Vacation Bible School evening mixer, I was less than enthused. But when she told me the real Darryl Worley was going to be performing a live concert…

  • The NAMS logo contest

    I look forward to the day that I have to come up with a logo like David Perdew is doing with his NAMS logo contest.  That makes me think of George Lucas and how cool it must be to walk through the store and see Star Wars stuff everywhere. At some point he was sitting…
