Very excited to announce I will be the Keynote speaker at a wonderful event in Chicago April 18th-19th. Visit the Social Media Strategies Summit site here. This is a not to be missed conference- and not cuz I am there- but because the quality of all the speakers (and equally amazing attendees) make this the most educational, actionable and on trend conference of the year.

So Picnik is closing. Oh MY GAWD PICNIK IS CLOSING!!!!! Oh wait. No its not. Nevermind. Actually it is still open- and now all the premium features are free to everyone. (check out this ‘we are NOT billing you again’ notice I got) So why are so many people talking about Picnik and how it [...]

Google Plus: So where are we?

8 months since Google Plus launched. It is growing so fast it is projected to really be giving FB a run for it’s money by the end of 2012. I have said this publically many times, but I think it might be worth repeating. This whole Google Plus/ Facebook thing isn’t really and ‘either/or’ discussion- [...]

The Art and Power of Pinterest (guide for brands and others)

  Remember those ‘vision boards’ we were all making a few years back after reading The Secret? You know, back when we believed if we envisioned WHAT we wanted it would come true if we just BELIEVED. Well it’s back. Kinda –sorta. And it has gone digital. This time it is called Pinterest (Yeah that [...]

It’s BYOB: Bring your own brand (Google+)

Let’s pretend shall we? You are invited to a party. Maybe not invited- but you heard about it. You aren’t sure who is there exactly- so you are debating on whether or not to go at all, and deciding if you should be fashionably late while you pick out the perfect outfit, think of small [...]

Many times I hear about bloggers starting entirely new blogs to be able to express themselves about a hobby or interest that they have determined isn’t the right ‘fit’ for their current blog. And I laugh when this happens. Have you forgotten? Bloggers do not have bosses. We do not have critical editors or focus [...]

{marcy’social} Selective transparency or faking authentic. You decide.

One of these kids is smiling sincerely. And one is phoning it in. Any guess? : ) I see it all the time, brands (and people who are brands) trying to be something they are not. Trying to be neutral when they have an opinion, trying to cause controversy when they really couldn’t care less [...]

BrandTalk: Handling the pain

Somewhere between getting my luggage at the baggage claim and unpacking in the hotel, my back went into full-on spasms. The kind of back pain that makes walking to the shower look like climbing Mt. Everest. It hurt of breathe. To move. To think. And while I considered calling room service to come blow dry [...]

{marcy’social} Social Fatigue. Do you have it?

Symptoms include feeling completely and totally overwhelmed when you log in to your Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn etc. Sometimes feeling so overwhelmed you consider leaving them all behind, then realizing it is not longer a realistic option since the majority of our connections are now maintained online. For instance, I have MANY close friends who [...]

Jack’s Headquarters includes a tandem desk for his brother assistant who prefers a Mac. Jack has been working hard on his website to sell gaming cards for profit. And all is going well, yet I am having to continually drive home the last part of that sentence…FOR PROFIT. I find it hysterical that I am [...]
