Immigrant Entrepreneurs Summit Case Study
I wanted to pass on a quick recap.  I posted on my participation in IES this past weekend where I streamed my talk on Interactive Marketing.  I told the participants in my session to Google “Immigrant Entrepreneurs Summit” in 30 days and see where my post was in the results.  The net result is that… My content (both the post and the ustream.tv recordings of my chat) appears on the first page of results and did so within 24 hours of me hitting “publish”. Here are the reasons that I see for this result…most of which we tal

Immigrant Entrepreneur Summit Drake University
I had the pleasure today of speaking at the Immigrant Entrepreneur Summit at Drake University. It was a powerful day filled with the entrepreneurial spirit and rugged individualism that makes this country great.

Web Video As a Brand Accelerant
I talked at a conference put on by Love Scott on Tuesday morning along with Claire Celsi and Ben Stone.  The conference took a unique approach to Social Media in that the conference organizer Andrew B Scott wanted 3 distinctly different uses for New Media tools.  He wanted to hear the PR, Human Resource, and Findability/Branding angles and how those differ.  I think the participants came away with some great value and it was a pleasure to participate.
