Out with the old and in with the New…

Last Monday I promised that this week I’d give an overview of the performance of the RBDRodeo blog, and that’s exactly what I’m going to do now.
This blog launched on June 6th of 2007, so it’s been live for close to 7 months now. In that time, between all of us here we’ve managed [...]

A New Year’s Resolution for Marketers

December 27th, 2007

Maybe this year you decided that you wouldn’t bother with personal resolutions that you have no chance of keeping; no resolving to get to the gym more or eat only healthy food. Maybe this year, instead, you decided to go with a New Year’s Resolution for your career. If you are a marketer, [...]

December 17th, 2007

Think about your Reputation at your Holiday party

December 12th, 2007

At every search related conference I attend, there’s a general consensus that Reputation Management is a big issue, especially with the loss of privacy as the world becomes more open, and the ‘permanence’ of artifacts (photos, documents, videos) on the web.
