On Tuesday, September 29th, I had the honor of speaking in front of a newly formed special interest group with the Dallas-Fort Worth Chapter of the American Marketing Association. I’d like to thank Phil Roth of the DFW AMA for having me present as well as Mara Frey of the Collin SBDC who hosted the event at Collin College. Last I’d like to thank the Dallas-Fort Worth Chapter of The American Marketing Association for their generous gift of the book The Break Through Company by Keith McFarland.

I went ahead and recorded the presentation and put it on Marketing Bits. The deck I used can be downloaded from the following link: DFW-AMA.PDF .

As would be expected in a Social Media Marketing services firm, our office is constantly full of buzz, opinion, and new discoveries int he world of online marketing. We also have some very interesting people stop by for meetings or to work on client deliverables.

Jerod and I thought it would be a good idea to simple turn on the microphones once and a while. After all, we do have a fully digital studio in our offices that we use for client work.

In our first podcast, we simply decided to have an open discussion about the complex world of social media and provide some insight as to where a small or medium sized business owner should begin. We cover topics like Twitter, Facebook, Digg, Stumbleupon, and blogging with WordPress. And believe it or not, we aren’t bullish on all in the social media world.

Enjoy the information and the debate!

We would like to thank the people over at Marshall Electronics for bringing the vintage warmth of Ribbon Microphone technology to a price point affordable by the masses. This is the first series where we are putting our newly acquired MXL R144 microphones to work! We connected these directly into our Zoom H4N and what you hear is what you get. (We do run our microphones into an 8 track board if we are recording 3 or more guests but for normal two person podcasts in person or via phone we go direct to the H4N)
