Over the last few weeks we have encountered several businesses that either do not have web analytics of any kind or they have analytics implemented but not well. This is an issue that is near and dear to my heart as a data geek but also as a marketer in general. How is it possible […]
If a picture is worth a thousand words then a video is probably worth a hundred thousand. Luckily Instagram has both and provides a great way for you to engage with users and spread your brand message. The founders of Instagram wanted a system whereby a relationship did not need to be established between users […]
With an office in South Florida it’s always a little dicey late summer and early fall as we keep our eye on the tropics. Unfortunately this year we were not as lucky as in year’s past and Hurricane Irma made her way up the entire state of Florida. Although our Fort Lauderdale digital marketing agency […]
OK, so we’re being a bit dramatic with the headline, but reports over the last week or so have not been kind to the beloved social media giant. Take the eMarketer report where they estimate usage to fall 3.4% year-over-year with the 12-17 age group. Or perhaps you saw the BuzzSumo article about Facebook engagement […]
“Hey, we’re launching this Commerce site and we need to know if we made more money, can we track that?” I’m paraphrasing, but seriously, this happened.

Twitter is a great vehicle to push out content, but the biggest mistake we see people making is simply re-hashing of previously available content. The Re-Tweet feature is a great way to let your followers know […]
While on our way back from MozCon in Seattle (awesome event!) I found myself sitting next to some twenty-something newly hired employees from a national outdoor brand. They were on their way to a training event where one of the topics was to discuss the new mobile app in development. As I glanced over to […]
We got a little creative while taking in all of the amazing presentations from MozCon! (Note: Sadly, we only have half of Day 2 as Brandon’s Surface battery died halfway through the day.) Check’em out below: Google’s Trojan Horse : Rand Fishkin Too Much Choice : Dawn Anderson AB SEO Testing : Stephanie Chang Data-driven […]
I’m a fan of paddle boarding while my buddy can barely stand up on one. We are both the same age, males, similar household income & educations levels. If you were a travel site and showed a picture of paddle boarders you’d certainly peak my interest, but what about his? Understanding your audience is more […]
