Recently, I’ve been thinking a lot about the late Marvin Hamlisch. For those who don’t know, Hamlisch was one of the most prolific and successful conductors and composers of the last century, winning multiple Emmy, Golden Globe, Oscar and Tony awards (the prestigious “EGOT”) and a Pulitzer Prize. And I, a wet-behind-the-ears college student, Continue Reading...
Seller Beware
Sell online? Chances are at least some of your business runs through an online retail platform of some sort. Amazon. Etsy. eBay. TikTok. Meta (Instagram or Facebook). These platforms make life easier for people who want to sell on the Internet. And it’s worth it for them; they make a lot of money. But is it worth it for you? Using one of Continue Reading...
Google’s Not-So-Secrets
Greetings Rainmakers! We had some pretty bad storms roll through Texas a few weeks ago, which left us without power for five days and downed a lot of limbs at my house.

AI is all over the news. It’s inescapable — and even in its current fledgling form, it’s changing digital marketing, agencies and business models. The news is full of people yelling about AI.

All the power in digital has been in the hands of the middlemen since the beginning. Why? Access to audience. They gave users value through Continue Reading...
Channels Change. Do You?
Greetings Rainmakers! Marketers are a unique breed. We get up in the morning and lie awake at night trying to figure out the best way to reach our audience — and we don’t really care what channel we’re using, so long as it works. Podcasts, social media, email, SEO … all of it matters. And all of it’s in flux. I’ve been in digital marketing since Continue Reading...
State of the Platform: Take Your Courses to Market
Oklahoma’s been a rough place to live the last couple of weeks. I’ve lived here since I was five years old, and though you get used to the storm season, it’s always a pain. Work got derailed a bit by the huge storm systems that passed through Oklahoma and Kansas, wreaking havoc on some of the small towns. But we were still able to get this Continue Reading...
