How a Web Design Goes Straight to Hell
For those of us involved in design, web development, writing, videos and anything that’s not straight-up accounting, we’ve all had this experience. A client hires you for your expertise and then… well, you know.
Check this scenario out, and we’ll [...]

In the past few days, there’s been a somewhat heated discussion on Linked In about companies expecting creative firms to give away their design ideas on RFPs—before getting paid or selected, of course! The discussion was expanded to all RFPs and many different people, ranging from consultants to CFOs commented their varying views.

I attended the leadership assembly for the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) this week as a delegate for my local St. Louis chapter. An interesting discussion ensued among members about the difference between Public Relations and communications.

I thought it was very helpful, and since I’ve recommended it to many, [...]

We got a special invitation from Donald Trump the other day. It had gold ink, and it looks pretty fancy on the outside.
On the inside, however, it was just like every other direct mail seminar pitch, except of course it included two free tickets to admit us to this special event.
My husband and I both [...]

I’ve been on Linkedin for a long time, and at first, I thought it was going to just be a resume posting site. I knew it had potential, but it seemed to be lacking something.
In the past 4 months, Linkedin has really started taking off. I think it’s starting to reach critical mass: everyone is [...]

Normally I stick to communication and business tips on this blog. However, today, I will deviate to share a funny, but surprisingly true story about money. Credit cards to be specific. Considering the current “financial crisis” that’s impacting everyone’s businesses, I think it’s relevant.
Last night I had to call one of our banks, Bank of [...]
