Spoken Whirred - A Spoke Marketing Blog

Spoke Site Update & Article

Spoke Site Updates

We've made a few revisions to the Spoke Marketing site that we launched yesterday.  First, we switched the site to PHP which was fun for me since I'd never used it prior to last Thursday (yes - I know I'm a geek, but I always liked learning new languages).  That should make it easier to keep up to date.  Second, we add a new page for Spoke news and a page for our blog / twitter info. Third, we added some client quotes and a new client to our portfolio.  We'll keep the site fresh with new content as we launch new campaigns, websites and brands for our clients.

Spoke is featured in Small Business Monthly

Spoke is featured in the December issue of Small Business Monthly.  Jeremy Nulik sat all four Spoke partners down to ask us how to market in a down economy.  Humbly, I think we had some good insight in the article about marketing authenticity and finding a niche.  If you agree  / disagree with anything we said - please feel free to comment and let me know.  Honest dialogues are always fun.

Check out 2 Little Stars!

Check out 2LittleStars. The owners are friends of mine who run an online baby boutique offering stylish and personalized blankets, burp cloths, tag blankets and other personalized accessories.

Some of my partners were nice enough to get some personalized items from 2 Little Stars for Gabe (my son) and my wife and I couldn't be happier with the gifts.  We've since bought a tag blanket as a gift for someone else.

No News is Good News

Hello Friends.

My lack of posting recently isn't because I've stopped blogging (which has happened before), but because we've been swamped with new work.  Which, of course, is a good thing.  I'll blog again about marketing topics soon.

Update on All Things Creative Reason:

• Look for a new name / brand to come out soon from yours truly and partners. 
• I missed take your dog to work day, I wish I'd remembered to bring Bailey, but she would probably would've bark all day at all people coming in our and out of the office.   Maybe it's better that I didn't.  -  By the way, I like the design of that site. 
• I highlighted in my first post here that I finally built a site for Creative Reason because I was testing out functionality with Facebook.  So it only makes sense that I actually use the site.  If you know my email address, find me on facebook.  I have a profile and everything.
• While I'm giving out personal profile info, view my profile on linkedin here.
• My client, The Ticket Guys, have great seats to the upcoming series on 4th of July.  Get your Cards - Cubs tickets from them.  Check them out at www.theticketguys.com.  Also look for news from them soon regarding a give away for tickets to an upcoming event "All Star" game in town and a partnership with a popular local website.  One last thing, if everything works out, they will have a big presence at the Cards-Cub series on July 4th from  The Ticket Guys Cardinals game day location at Paddy O's.

That's it for now.  I'll post again soon, hopefully with more good news.

Cheers,

Brian Schwartz

Project: The Omni Difference

We launched a new campaign last week for The Omni Clubs, a series of health clubs in Georgia and Florida.  The site we launched is www.theomnidifference.com.  The Omni Difference campaign focuses on the difference that the Personal Trainers at The Omni Club make in ensuring you meet your fitness goals.  These personal trainers and the difference they make are the focal point of the campaign.

We feature two personal trainers from Fort Myers Florida and two personal trainers from Athens Georgia  and this campaign features direct mail, the microsite, banner ads and a few guerrilla tactics. 

If you are looking for a personal trainer in Fort Myers Florida or a personal trainer in Athens Georgia, check out the success coaches at The Omni Club and experience The Omni Difference.
