New blog, new website

Hey world,

So this is my new blog, I had an old one where I tried to be funny but after about two posts I think I wasted my comedic talent.

Anyways, this blog will be focusing pretty much on the world of marketing and advertising and the wonderful city of Calgary. What makes me an authority capable of talking about marketing in Calgary? Well I live in Calgary (born and raised) and am a partner at a new emerging marketing company called redlime. You can check out our website at redlime.ca , its not as mind blowing and snazzy as some other marketing company's out there, but its because we're always too busy doing stuff for our clients to make it as wicked as some of our other work. Also, with web design for clients we sometimes contract work out to make it truly mind blowing, whereas for our site we just do the work ourselves.

Wow, how is that for getting off topic. So other reasons I can provide insight to marketing in Calgary? This is going to sound pretty crazy but basically because I'm passionate about it. Marketing means expressing and creating a message that you want to communicate to a certain audience, and to resonate with that audience your message has to speak louder and more eloquently than every other message that person sees or hears that day. Marketing is the competitive art of communication, and to me, thats pretty cool.

Look forward to my next post and be sure to check out redlime.ca.

Cheers,
Raf
