New York, New York... if only you didn't excite me so much! After 20 years or so traveling to New York often throughout the year, I am without a doubt the most excited person that has ever landed. I feel like a child in a candy store, except the store is seriously large and even if I stayed there a lifetime, I would never get to experience everything it has to offer.

I love Atlanta. I really do. It is like a second home to me, and the people are just fabulous.

Marketing Eye Atlanta rocks. They are the most enthusiastic, motivated, fun team we have in the Marketing Eye family. The energy in the office is electric and the vibe in the office would bring anyone's mood to a level of elevation that can only be found when you are doing something you love.

When I first opened an office in Atlanta I had no idea just how big the state of Georgia really was. While everyone knows Atlanta hosts the busiest airport on the planet, it also is the fourth largest home to Fortune 100 companies in the country.

Speaking to a Professor at one of America's largest Universities the other day in Atlanta, was an eye-sight into how slow many universities are moving in creating educational programs for marketers to have jobs in the future.

This particular University, isn't sitting by the side-line. In fact, they are leading the way and have added Data Science to the program, and are ensuring that each and every person who does a marketing degree has an opportunity to learn about data science and all that it encompasses.

Waking up today, I have to say, I am feeling quite nostalgic about Atlanta and all it means to me over the past 5 years.

I came here with little or no expectations, just a desire to try something new. From there, and the people I met, something ticked. For many Atlanta appears from the outset to be quite sleepy, but once you cut through the leafy streets, and the urban sprawl, there is so much more depth.
