Build Backlinks Google Will Love
Google’s been all over the news lately. Results have gotten much less useful over the last few years, and headlines proclaiming Google’s downfall are everywhere. It wasn’t always this way. Google is the world leader in search for a reason. Early on, while its competitors were struggling to determine which sites mattered, Google hit on the Continue Reading...
Building Brand Loyalty in a Cynical World
Why do people buy Heinz® ketchup, Apple® smartphones or Kleenex® tissues over other brands? Branding. It’s one thing to be able to sell someone a product or service once. But to get them to be loyal to your brand above all others — that’s a whole different ball game. And it’s harder now than ever before. In an age where disinformation is Continue Reading...
Create Email Conversations Through PII

Google is Not Your Audience
I’ve only seen a tornado in person once. But for a couple of months each year, they’re constantly on my mind. Every spring here in Oklahoma, our local news channels are on high alert for the storms that spawn tornadoes. Each line of clouds on the horizon is potential trouble; there’s a tenseness to the air.

Bring the Human Back to Marketing
