As 2011 begins to wind down we'd like to take a moment to thank all of our valued clients and partners for their support. Between celebrating New York state heritage, sailing with SailQuest Mystic, working with financial companies, in-home care companies, partnering with airlines, digital media companies and philanthropic causes and more it's been a great year!
While we have had a wonderful year, we understand many across the nation and world have not. Please take a moment to help those in need this holiday season; food pantries, toy drives, hospitals and more. Even a small donation of $5 can help a person have a warmer holiday whether figuratively or literally. It is so important. Why you should share your Egg Nog: So instead of buying that extra carton of Egg Nog, think about donating that money to someone who is really in need. It WILL make a difference.
We look forward to a successful 2012 and a prosperous new year for all!! Have a safe and happy holiday season!
On a beautiful evening in Guilford, CT business leaders got together at Ballou's Wine Bar to network and discuss how to use today's new marketing media. Guest speaker and radio guru, Bruce Barber, of Barber Productions, spoke of this event, "It's a great group of people . . . . getting together in real time with each other. It's not just facebook or twitter it's us." Colby Strategic Marketing was one of the event hosts. Heather Colby, President, Colby Strategic Marketing commented, "As a group we need to work together to forge authentic partnerships that will drive the success of each partners' business. There is a wealth of talented marketers and business people here tonight who will certainly reap the rewards of building their businesses together via networking, partnerships and new inbound marketing strategies."
Ballou's set the stage for the event with appetizers for the group and Marchetti Design & Illustration offered discounted drink tickets for an enjoyable evening. Several prize winners left with free content marketing from Shoreline Out and About, twitter training from Colby Strategic Marketing and gifts from M!X Design Store. Keep an eye out for the next event by this up and coming group of business and marketing leaders.
