Everyone is Different. Capitalize On Being Unique!

I think the beautiful thing about the web, social media, marketing, and the business world is that fact that everyone is different.
We would like to sit here and say that there are TONS of companies that are the same. There are 30,343 graphic design firms in Indianapolis. Not true, but you get the point. I [...]

Quit with All This CRAP! Let’s Create Business

I’m tired… and I do not think it is from the daily grind or the work load at Brandswag. I am pretty sure it is from all the BS that is circulating in the world of social media and marketing.

Redefining Innovation in Social Media. Adaptation.

Social Media Innovation is a huge topic among early adopters of technology in cyberspace. Talk about an over-used phrase! The term social media is already dieing in the minds of the technologically savvy. And innovation?
First, let’s define the terms from Wikipedia:

Innovation : may refer to both radical and incremental changes in thinking, in things, in [...]

I Hate Your Tweets

Actually, no I don’t, and you shouldn’t hate mine or anyone’s, for that matter. Some argue that there is a wrong and right way to tweet.
