This is a call to the follically challenged as well as to those of you who look like Ambrose Everett Burnside before your Frosted Flakes are soggy.  The jack-o-lanterns have faded away with October and candy is on sale everywhere.  That's right, today is the first day of the month formerly known as November.  Its Movember.

I have always considered myself a problem solver and leader.  I have always been the team member that just went ahead and took the reins of the group project and got that ball rolling.  I have always been the critic that can tell you the ways to make your creation better.  I have also been “that person” that wants to offer up a solution that fixes your problem.   Carry over into real life. Marketing style.

2013 is going to be a great year.  At BlinkJar Media, we are approaching our one year mark, and we could not be more excited about the future.  Over the past year, we have doubled in our employee base due to the work capacity that we have earned.

There is no secret that marketing is changing.  To some, this is a very fearful fact of life. To us, it is the most exciting and motivating time to be on the agency business.  

The world of Inbound Marketing is exploding, and it is providing local business owners the opportunity to spread their wings and utilize marketing in a way that was unheard of even five years ago.

A little over a year ago, BlinkJar Media did not even exist.  Through extensive research, an investment into a progressive and innovative web product in Hubspot, many sleepless nights, thousands of miles of traveling, and an extremely supportive wife and family, BlinkJar Media has made the last ten months of my life (and the first 10 months of BlinkJar Media) a complete 360 degree life altering experience (all for the better).  

So, exactly what does BlinkJar Media Do for Clients? I probably get this question three or four times a week.  And, it is a very reasonable question to ask, as we are certainly cutting against the grain of the traditional ad agency business in Baton Rouge.  In fact, I still am not convinced my wife, who is in the world of marketing and advertising, still one hundred percent understands the whole Inbound Marketing concept.  But, once someone sees the concept in action, the light bulb for the business owner definitely comes on in a very big way.

I am a big fan of Inbound Markekting. Truth be told, I am a hybrid of sorts.  My background is in the broadcast television advertising sales field, so my training or upbrining is in the traditional media arena.  However, I am extremely passionate about the future or forward value of Inbound Marketing. I have personally witnessed the seismic shifts in the traditional media industry that were mentioned in the book, Inbound Marketing: Get Found Using Google, Social Media, and blogs. The book was written by the two founding parnters of Hubspot, Brian Haligan and Dharmesh Shah.
