In fact, it is actually becoming more fascinating and growing in its power to be influential. It has evolved into more of an art form than it ever has been before which creates incredible opportunity as a marketing tool. I’ve writ... Read More »

Expectations are Changing – Are You?
Published on Tuesday, March 22, 2011 by BrennaYoung The other day my sister, an iPhone user, was looking at a picture on my dad's cell phone and out of instinct tried to zoom in on the picture by spreading her fingers across the screen. She was unsuccessful in doing so given that my dad has an older phone that does not have this feature but it brought up an interesting point - people's expectations and comfort with tec...

Will Social Media Wipe Out Email Entirely?
Published on Wednesday, March 16, 2011 by BrennaYoung There’s been some talk of email possibly disappearing forever due to the rising use of social media. But will social media ever be able to replace email entirely? In short, I think the response to that is no. I do not think that is even close to the reality of what will happen.

When Will QR Codes Become the Norm Already?
Published on Friday, July 30, 2010 by BrennaYoung Not too long ago I wrote a blog post on Quick Response (QR) codes, "Are QR Codes the New Social Media?". Since then I have been waiting to see more and more QR codes on print materials, whether it be in advertisements, catalogues, signs, or anything of that nature where you may want the reader to visit a website either to seek more information, make a purchase, or tak...

Are QR Codes the New Social Media?
Published on Friday, May 28, 2010 by BrennaYoung When social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, etc. arrived on the scene many were quick to brush them off as fads and were unwilling to invest time or money into social media marketing. I think it is safe to say now that these sites have proved they are not just fads and are here to stay. Not only that, but I think social media has proven to be a very power... Read More »
