In times of tragedy, our country unites. The Orlando shooting, classified as the deadliest mass shooting in the US has been mourned by people all over the nation. Glued to our TV’s, computers we all watched as this tragedy unfolded. In times like these it is important as a marketer to be certain you comment/ recognize the situation delicately.

Why Kylie Jenner Is A Marketing Master

Here’s a challenge:

Try and scroll through your ‘trending’ list for an entire week, on any one of your social media platforms, without seeing a Kardashian, a Kardashian-West, or a Jenner. If you succeed, you’re either lying to yourself, or you deserve a cookie.

Culture: A System of Values and Beliefs

A bride in India has her hands painted with henna two nights before her wedding. In Chile it is socially acceptable and preferred to arrive late to events. In Japan the number four is avoided at all costs for the similarity in sound to their word meaning “for death.” Being interrupted while speaking is common and not considered rude in Brazil.

Get Your Google Analytics Certification

Recently we posted a blog telling Marketers to “Step Your Game Up.” This blog points out the first order of business was to get you Google Analytics Certification. I’m guessing you didn’t run right out and do that.

Information on visitor behavior is vital to the success of any website. I know we all use Google Analytics everyday. If your day is like mine you have coffee, go through emails, then check Analytics. You understand the program, you understand what you are looking at. Why are you not certified? Lazy? Think it doesn’t matter? The following are 4 major reasons to just take the time and get your certification.

Work Life Balance

Many people struggle with balancing work and their social life. We are often contemplating between choosing the concert after work, drinks with a friend or staying late at the office. Finding the perfect balance can often times be challenging.

I don't really like speaking at "all women" conferences. I am definitely not a gender specific person. I think every person is equal and should be treated likewise.

In fact, I think men now have it harder than women. With all of these mandates that say women should hold 50% of the positions on boards, many will now be overlooked even if they are better qualified, with more experience and capable of bringing more to the table.

But the fact of the matter is, many women have been overlooked for years. It's kind of pay back time - but I am not sure society is doing it right.

Is It Time For A New Profile Picture?

Picture this: You’re downloading a new app. You hit the “get started” button and you’re asked to enter your name, birthday (so you can receive a ‘Happy Birthday’ text of course), and email address. You move on to the next step. Now, you’re asked to upload a profile picture. 15 minutes of life pass you by, and you’re still scrolling through your gallery trying to find the perfect picture. The one that shows you from the waist up, with good lighting, and highlights your best features. Why do we this? Because we grew up hearing the adage A picture is worth a thousand words, and we don’t want to say the wrong thing.
