So little to say.

I have never let so much time go by without writing a blog post. Since Twitter came along, my output has definitely slowed down, even though I don’t tweet a whole heck of a lot. But lately I just haven’t had a lot to say.

My last post, about two open positions at Vancity’s AoR, Wasserman + Partners is so old, both positions have long since been filled. I write when I have something to say that requires the length of a blog post to get across, and it’s usually the result of some deep exploration I’m going through and want to discuss with all of you via my blog.

So the most troublesome thing about not blogging is that it seems clear that I haven’t been in exploring mode. Which is true. I have been in operations mode, which is far less conducive to philosophical questioning.

The main thing that took my focus in 2010 was the launching of a new intranet at Vancity, which brings social media inside the organization and creates an online network of our ~2,300 employees. That was major, and I’m very proud of the results, but it didn’t provoke much blogging.

So my personal wish for 2011 is that I am in a more philosophical, discovering mood and can use my blog as a vehicle for exploration.

Stay tuned.

Wasserman + Partners is hiring.

Wasserman + PartnersVancity’s agency, Wasserman + Partners is hiring for two positions.

The first is a Digital Project Manager who will be “responsible for the successful planning, managing and launching of digital projects within the advertising agency”.

The other is the Director of Production, a role to “bring campaign concepts to life, regardless of the medium, or whether it has ever been done before”.

Both roles are chances to work with this excellent Vancouver agency, which Vancity chose as their agency of record earlier this year in a unanimous decision.

If you do apply, let them know you discovered it through me. I won’t get anything from it, I’ll just want to know…

Internet Marketing Conference returns to Vancouver

Internet Marketing Conference Vancouver 2010I’m excited to be on a panel at the upcoming Internet Marketing Conference coming to Vancouver from September 21-23rd. This will be my third year in a row speaking at the conference. Guy Kawasaki is the keynote, so I likely need not say more…

The topic of the panel is: When is Social Media not working? Social Media is the popular way of reaching people online. At the same time many businesses are failing to gain business advantage from Social Media. How do you know when Social Media is right for you and when it’s not?

If you’ll be there, make sure to say hello…
