Episode 108 - The Domino's Homemade Film Festival
Free pizza for a year. Sounds good to me. What about you?
Free pizza for a year. That’s the grand prize in the Domino’s Homemade Film Festival contest.
To enter, all you need to do is submit a video of 60 seconds or less by August 21 at 3 PM ET at https://www.dominosfilmfest.com/
Between September 7-11, people can vote for their favorite homemade films about Domino's, and on September 18, the winners will be announced with $1,560 in Domino’s gift cards going to the grand prize winner, $500 in gift cards to the second place winner and $200 in gift cards to the third place winner.
What a great idea! What a great contest!
It's a win-win campaign if ever there was one.
Domino’s is getting its fans to create their own User-Generated-Content (UGC) on behalf of the brand. And its audience is getting a chance to win free pizza.
I also applaud Domino’s for launching this contest during the pandemic. People have a little more time on their hands lately and are more inclined to enter such a contest as well as order pizza instead of going out to dinner or cooking themselves. Brands, businesses, marketers and advertisers can learn a lot from this ridiculously awesome case study.
How can YOU do something similar to help promote your own products and services? #Marketing #Branding #Dominos

Episode 103 - Black Lives Matter
Black lives matter. Saying so matters, too.
To think that in the year 2020 this country still has a problem with racism. That is not just sad, that is shameful.
As Nike has said so well in its timely, new ad, “Don’t pretend there’s not a problem in America.”
Whoever we are, whatever we do, wherever we live, we all have a responsibility to speak out and stand up against racism, bigotry, discrimination and injustice.
In both our personal and professional lives, we can’t be silent when such a big problem exists.
As brands, businesses, people and professionals, we all have a duty to stand together as one in the face of something so wrong and work hard to ensure that everybody in this country has equal opportunity to enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. #BlackLivesMatter

Episode 100 - Ridiculously Awesome Customer Service
Businesses, especially small businesses, need to provide outstanding customer service to their customers and clients if they expect to succeed.
That’s almost always the case, of course, but that’s truer than ever during this pandemic when people are purchasing considerably less than usual.
How do brands and businesses, especially brick-and-mortar stores, survive these unprecedented times? How do they overcome a seemingly endless succession of obstacles and hurdles?
A good customer experience can make a difference between success and failure in these tough times.
Be responsive and available virtually 24/7.
Listen to your audience and meet, if not exceed, their expectations.
Make it easy for them to find you online, especially on social media.
Reinvent what you have to offer to align with the new normal.
Go above and beyond on behalf of everybody who reaches out to you, realizing how much they will appreciate you for the effort and reward you with their loyalty.
Be like Daniel Kenn, owner of Sudbury Coffee Works in Sudbury, who provided me with ridiculously awesome customer service recently.

Currently accepting new clients.
I provide either short-term or long-term digital marketing consulting and execution. I am a sole practitioner and all work is completed by yours truly. I do not outsource any work.
For the past 12 years, I've immersed myself in social media. In 2007, I began documenting my personal battle with cancer via my blog, I Kicked Cancer’s Ass. Within 6 months of my first post, I founded the nonprofit organization, Spirit Jump, a grassroots nonprofit organization. Through the strategic use of social media, I was able to reach thousands of cancer fighters, survivors & supporters.
Through invaluable experience gained from running a highly successful blog & nonprofit, my social media passions continued to grow. I took on various freelance & in-house marketing jobs until I was hired as to create and produce social media focused conferences for Global Strategic Management Institute. Over the course of two years, I was responsible for producing over 17 highly successful executive level summits. In addition, I was the Vice President of Social Media for GSMI overseeing all social media marketing efforts including being the senior editor for the GSMI Social Media Strategies Summit blog. I also had the privilege of facilitating Social Axcess 25, GSMI’s executive working group.
In an effort to grow my skill set I began my freelance journey, crafting, implementing, maintaining & growing social communities, campaigns & contest for a variety of organizations from small businesses to publicly traded companies. My success in social media marketing has been nationally recognized & as a result, my opinions & insights have been featured in numerous publications including Mashable, Social Media Examiner & Inc.
I am also a licensed attorney in the state of Florida.
