TweetShare      We all know people who seem to do awesome work at their job, are involved in every professional organization you’ve ever heard of and still have time to devote to giving back to the community.

TweetShare  Ever heard those “you might be a redneck” jokes? You know, the Jeff Foxworthy ones. If you cut your grass and find a car…you might be a redneck. If you own a homeade fur coat…you might be a redneck. Yep, I laughed at that one too? Most of the jokes are hyperbolic like that. [...]

TweetShare                      According to eMarketer, one in eight moms who are online blog. Think about that. Now add in that 75 percent of moms use social media sites. We’ve been doing blogger outreach at FHKC since long before I got here, but those numbers still astound [...]

TweetShare                  Social media is a not a strategy. It is not a department. It is not a communications discipline. And it is not a type of agency…or at least it shouldn’t be. I don’t know how many times we have to address this topic. I feel like [...]

TweetShare                      I was lucky enough to sit on a social media panel yesterday at the NAIA national convention in Kansas City. One of the questions was, “How do you sell social media to your boss? What’s your strategy?” Here are some of the main points [...]

TweetShare                  My wife was right. Yep, I said it. Kind of hard to type at first, but I came around. After all, it pains a guy to admit he was wrong. And it pains a guy even more to admit he was wrong when his wife is [...]
