We are proud to say that one of our core business strengths in the world of digital advertsiting and communications is our great design. As with everything in life, first impressions count. How you look, how you present yourself in that first 5 to 10 seconds, sets the tone for one’s perception of who you are. Same thing in business.

Almost everyone out there in the world has sent or received a postcard at some point. The traditional postcard is 100 years old. That being said, some of the best ideas come when you blend the old with the new. Technology moves so quickly that it’s hard to keep up, difficult to catch on, and by the time many businesses make a decision to hop on the digital band wagon, the idea they finally commit to is old news and something else is now the next big thing.

Many of you requested that I write more posts on Green. This is an extremely thought provoking article that focuses in on Ecological Intelligence. I had the most interesting conversation with a local restauranteur about this very topic several months back. They own a farm as well as their restaurant and use the produce from their farm as much as possible (she’s passionate about organic).

Many months back I wrote about the Korean BBQ street vendor: a guy who had an idea for tacos—that featured Korean BBQ. He parked outside of the clubs late at night for weeks with no action.
