It's unfortunate that sound for video isn't better understood by marketers and even some creative professionals. I've had the pleasure of working just about every kind of production in the nearly twenty years I've been a creative professional. I've done lots and lots of commercials, Web videos, POP videos, trade…

A study by Cisco VNI states that by 2014 90% of web traffic will be video. You might want to read that again. And no, it's not a typo. This is probably one of the more shocking numbers on the rise of video on the Web but maybe not the…

Tomorrow I'm running the Atlanta Half Marathon. Back in my early 20s I would have been much better prepared for this effort. I was a competitive cyclist and didn't have the same job and family commitments I do today. In fact, the old me would probably say that present me…

I've already posted on the 10,000 foot view, so I wanted to get at about what I actually learned BlogWell Atlanta. Andy Sernovitz had some important points on ethics and disclosure. He outlined dangers to a brand of not having clear, legal agreements with vendors acting on a brand's behalf…

This was 7:30 AM. Just dropped off the girls and went for a short hike. Had nowhere to be for the rest of the day really. Taking a deep breath today. Hope you have a chance for one too. Have a great weekend.
