Should a CEO Use Social Media?
Well.. this is an important question to ask. This is even more important to consider if you are a CEO. There has been quite a bit of chatter in the social media world pertaining to a CEO’s use of social media. Should the overall leader in a company be involved in the online communication strategy [...]Your Website is Your Social Media Hub
Our web-developer extraordinaire and overall genius at Brandswag, Stephen Coley, wrote in his post yesterday about the importance of centralizing your overall social media communication strategy.

Twitter is the talk of the town from marketing firms to small business owners… how do we use this tool to increase leads and drive growth? This seems to be the question most people are asking across the business landscape. If you are skeptical and a little confused… believe me… you are not alone. I [...]The One Place You Should Focus ALL Marketing
Many times we (marketing professionals) talk about the concepts of an integrated marketing approach. “You should be doing email marketing, billboards, radio ads, blah blah blah blah. ” Sometimes it gets a little heavy… Sometimes it gets a little burdensome. Business owners want to know one thing: How do you drive brand awareness or revenue. As [...]Latest Activity

Thanks for the welcome. I joined hoping to find people with similar interests. (specifically in the area of wines) I'd like to join or maybe even start a wine tasting group.
This looks like a great opportunity to meet new people.
Thanks again
Tim

Andy Fuller said… - Hey Kyle -
Well, then I'm in the right place! I've lived in Indiana my entire life, save for the last two years in Illinois. The difference was striking enough to make me wish for home. Most of all, I love the people - there is a genuine-ness about the people who live here that sets you at ease, and makes you want to see your fellow Hoosiers succeed along with yourself. Look forward to the networking opportunity and enrichment provided by Smaller Indiana!

- What do I love about Indiana! Hmmmm, I've thought about this all weekend. I love that you can live in a big city, a mid-size city, a small town or in the country and still be able to experience the other places whenever you want. I love that you can drive a few hours and be in Chicago or one day and be in Washington, DC, or even another country. I love that in that same amount of time you can be back home again in Indiana. Indiana has defined me as a person and wherever I go I will still be a Hoosier through and through!

- Hoosiers are realisticly optimistic. We've always had a true sense that if you worked hard and played by the rules, then you could achieve anything. I think that's total BS, but I love that point of view. What about you?

- Hi Kyle,
Thank you for the welcome.
What I love about Indiana, specifically, Indianapolis: I love the urban-meets-small town feel of Indy. We live in a neighborhood that is both culturally and socio-economically diverse, and offers a feeling of community without being claustrophobic. I like the fact that we're close to other urban centers (relatively speaking): Chicago in particular. I'm glad the sustainability movement is catching up here, and really enjoy the growing network of farmers' markets. As they say, it's a great place to raise your kids--and since we have three, we're especially grateful for that fact. As a writer/aritst, I also enjoy our growing arts community, despite the economic challenges we're dealing with right now.
I'm sure I could think of more to say... but that's a good start!
Julianna

- Hi Kyle, or Sat Nam, Kyle (a greeting of Kundalini Yoga: The Truth is my Identity) Thank you for starting "10 Reasons You Should NOT Be on Social Media". It is not even listed in your discussions on your page anymore,
I totally loved reading it. Looks like Chris overdominated it, and the discussion is not really there any more. Looking forward to seeing you again some place, Warm Blessings,
