I went on a whirlwind trip to NYC for a meeting. A meeting with Waze, which is owned by Google. THIS IS GOOGLE!!! But first – when we arrived, we spent time with the Port Authority of New York. My former design-construction industry nerdiness came out in how much I enjoyed this part of the […]

Love Plano Takes Shape
This idea just keeps evolving. And we LOVE it. The Plano Heart is moving all around the city, but it started it’s tour in Haggard Park in downtown Plano. We #LoveIt as much as we #LovePlano!!
The Hoff Hits Downtown
This only happened three months ago. But life and whatever. One of our newish local business owners is related to David Hasselhoff. So what do you do when you open? You invite family to help you celebrate. And if said family is The Hoff, you also make him an honorary citizen. You also get him […]
St Paddy’s Day Fun
Just a few snippets of the St Patrick’s Day fun around our office… I’d heard rumors a leprechaun could occasionally be spotted at Municipal Center – Turns out the rumor is TRUE. Too bad I was on the phone so I couldn’t turn him in for a pot of gold! The team also headed to […]
Making Something Old New Again
Our office suite was terrible. Really terrible. A mishmash of furniture – leftovers, really – thrown into an available space. Cubicles set up haphazardly, without thought to who sat where. Team members scattered, spare cubicles filled with items never sorted or stored. What.A.Mess. Getting the office sorted was a priority of mine and fortunately, my arrival coincided with a long-planned remodel of the entire building.
Content Marketing World 2016
Content Marketing World in Cleveland was another great and inspiring experience! This time I took the train into town from the airport and got to see a lot of neat public art. This was a fun fun way to get people involved during check-in: Cities are always beautiful at dawn and dusk (in my opinion!): […]
Keep This In Mind
I’m in the middle of a very big project at work. A very big project that will set the stage for an even bigger project, pushing the boundaries of how we’ve done our business of marketing for decades. It’s new, it’s scary, it’s time and brain-consuming and it’s hard. In the midst of these types […]
Excuse Me…
I returned to work from the holiday weekend and noticed that something was amiss on my desk: My tape dispenser is missing. My colleague has a habit of asking to borrow my tape dispenser, so I had a suspicion that he might know where the dispenser was hiding. I was half right. He said he […]
About Last Week
This poor blog – it’s either a reflect of my life (busy) or of my mental state (tired). Whatever the cause, I’ve surely moved long past the days of updating every day. Things change. That’s life, right? Anyway, about last week. I was offline for most of the week while attending a conference. Last year […]
A Garden Party
Flipping through my phone I realized that I’d never posted these photos on the blog. A few weeks ago, Kelly and I were given tickets to attend the closing party of the US Mayors’ Conference held at the beautiful Dallas Arboretum. Apologies in advance for the image quality. I could lie and say I’m using […]
