If you’ve been in business long enough to remember when “marketing” meant buying a quarter-page ad and praying, this one’s for you. After 34-plus years building campaigns in every era—from paste-up boards to AI search—I’ve got some opinions. Mostly that your marketing probably isn’t talking to the people who matter. This is a brutally honest […]

Most businesses don’t plan their website. They start it. They have a login, perhaps a template, and the blank pages stare back at them like an empty Word document waiting for inspiration to hit. But that’s not how it works. You don’t write a book by opening to Chapter 1 and just winging it. You […]

For more than three decades, I’ve run my business guided by one defining idea: people are the only source of ideas. Not processes, not policies, not software or automation. People.

Picture this: It’s 1992, and the tools we now take for granted—email, PDFs, and endless online image libraries—are nowhere in sight. How did we survive? With a lot of creativity, patience, and coffee. The kind of coffee that fuels problem-solving, endless meetings, and the occasional panicked realization that a typo made it into the final print. But somehow, we made it work and learned lessons that still guide us today.
