In 1986 I started an advertising and public relations firm to serve software and hardware companies, which became a marketing consulting business ( www.Allen.com ) when I moved to L.A.

I'm hoping you can help me figure out who I should be connecting with on this. I find myself speaking at various venues in Los Angeles to tell people (most often service providers) about how I've used social media and particularly my blogs, LinkedIn, twitter and topic hubs as part of my own services business.

And I'm looking forward to more interaction now that she's blogging. We help clients deal with new marketing realities like constant change (which often requires repositioning) and the "online/offline marketing grid" (which lets you extend reach essentially for free using social media). Maybe you can blog about that?

I just need you for a few hours to help me move this weekend.” If your developers have a better machine, screen, internet connection, or chair at home than they do in the office, then there’s a problem.

Both Sides of the Table

JANUARY 1, 2012

Occasionally on this blog I break away from industry commentary and write more broadly. It is this reminder that helps me form my internal compass and not hide behind a fortress. It’s why I still randomly meet up with people I’ve met on Twitter or this blog. Office Space. Nom nom nom. But I prefer the crowd.
