Last week I had the privilege of interviewing Chris Anderson, the founder of TED.com, on a monthly webinar series that I’m co-hosting with my colleague from New York (and TEDxEast).  I won’t promise it’s the best recording but listening to his vision is really inspiring.  If you have...

This marks day 9 of the annual BIA Parade of Homes this year held at Tartan Ridge in Dublin.  Fortunately for me in the last 2-3 months, it’s been a dynamic parade of work. As I watch the “returns” from the campaign, I’m delighted that online assets have given us PR junkies really...

Valentine’s Day is around the corner.  And with today’s news of City Center ultimate demise, Downtown really needs your love. We’ve had great fun helping our longtime client at Capital Crossroads Special Improvement District produce a series of videos to promote the restaurant owner-operator...

Pearl Market, sponsored by Capital Crossroads Special Improvement District in Downtown Columbus, had an amazing, stellar season (from May-October 08).  We were thrilled to produce this video outlining those successes, among which included but was not discussed was double the sales from 07.  Farmers...

It was a long, long time coming. And we were proud to partner with Huber & Co to upgrade the BIA of Central Ohio’s web site, Biahomebuilders.com launched officially today.  We partnered on strategy, produced the site tour and will provide ongoing content counsel on the new blog, the BIA...
