Today in Milwaukee you may have been distracted by the unbelievable sounds of the Navy Blue Angels soaring by your office window. I know I was easily distracted and touched by how amazing it was to see the Blue Angels up in the air (more…)
Since downloading the SquarePik app on the first day of its launch, I have been using the app as a way to get more creative with my Foursquare check-ins at various venues.

Personal branding and striving for creative ways to get the attention of potential employers, is becoming more of the norm.

By expressing eagerness to set himself apart, Alec Brownstein has impressed me with his recent Pay Per Click campaign, “The Google Job Experiment,” to eventually land himself a job at Y&R New York. This is an absolute genius and hidden way to pitch his personal branding campaign through pay per click ads for individuals’ names at agencies of interest for Brownstein.

Congratulations Alec and best wishes to you at Y&R New York!
