We at Spur Interactive are very pleased to introduce you to our new brand and our new blog. We’ve been meaning to launch a blog for more than a year, but kept finding reasons to put it off. With our rebranding and launch of our new site (don’t worry – this is just phase 1) we decided it was time to execute on this part of our plan and launch our blog site. So here it is – we hope you’ll enjoy.
I just arrived in Milwaukee (originally pronounced “mill-e-wah-que” which is Algonquin for “the good land.”) and am preparing for tomorrow’s launch of the 2008 Online Marketing Summit tour which will hit 11 cities in July and August. Spur Interactive is a sponsor and I’m speaking about measuring ROI and building a business case for interactive. I’m hoping for a few lighters, a standing O and maybe a “freebird!” request. But in truth I’d settle for knowing my presentation helped a few marketers build the business case they need to get management buy-in to their interactive plans. I also need good marks or I’ll be relegated to moderating panel discussions, so I still have some work to do on my presentation. BTW - if you want a copy of my presentation, send me a note!
