Well, we didn’t produce a teen slasher movie that turned into a successful franchise, but we did host a chilling event on a dark rainy afternoon. Now when I say chilling, I’m talking about groups of clients and vendors enjoying ice-cold beverages and great food at the Summer Marketing Camp we held back in August. We hosted food trucks from Barrio and East Coast Custard, much to the delight of our guests who were willing to step out in the rain (umbrellas provided) to partake of the tasty treats. It was more than just fun and games though; we also shared some valuable advice on how to deliver “Measurably Better Marketing” from a variety of industry experts.

It’s a new year, so we’re all making big, big plans for 2017.  But as we all know, any forward-looking plan has to take into account a look backward at what worked, and what didn’t. No news there. We all want to spend our time on tasks that have the most impact, not on busywork.
