Marketing & Branding
The technologies we use, why we use
    them, and how we use them.
We try to avoid:
 bureaucracy, micro management, &
 middle management
 investing without a measurable return
 confusion & cacophony
We believe:
 The new economy is a reputation economy.
The conventional wisdom is that a satisfied
customer will tell one person and an
unhappy person will tell 10...That’s now
been upped by orders of magnitude.
                   Fast Company, November 2008
Your first encounter with your
prospect is not their first encounter
with you.
