I don’t think that it’s one of their most popular dishes… their Pad Thai and Pineapple Fried Rice seem to sell like crazy. I’ve never seen…

Yesterday, I watched Our Brand Is Crisis – a fascinating documentary of Washington political consultants, Greenberg Carville Shrum, hired to help a Gonzalo “Goni” Sanchez de Lozada win back the Bolivian presidency. In the documentary, James Carville’s firm is running the campaign. It worked. They won. Sort of. I’m not a fan of Mr. Carville but he’s a very shrewd…

Your Spin Drives Scrutiny and Distrust
I’m 44 years old now and I always remember my parents and grandparents saying they’d never seen an uglier election… with each election. I’m not sure that elections actually get uglier, I think a possibility may be that we simply grow stronger in our beliefs and we don’t let as much slide. I find myself researching what politicians’ statements much…

The Expanding State of Mobile Search in 2025
Mobile search is no longer just a browser feature—it’s an intent-driven action that can begin from almost anywhere on a smartphone: the operating system, a mobile app, a voice assistant, a website’s internal search, or even a question posed to an AI chatbot via smartphone.

Nonprofits and Social Media Results
We’ve worked with several nonprofits over the years and it always seems that there are two kinds of nonprofit budgets… zero or tons. With both, I’ve honestly been surprised at how few have incorporated social networking and social media into their mix. Nonprofit leaders are masters at networking, but haven’t seemed to have discovered the opportunities to grow that network…
