Color Me Gaga

September 16th, 2009 · No Comments · Artrepreneurship, In Our Ears

I watched this year's VMA's. Not live, mind you, and not on TV, but on their website as I picked and chose which highlights I wanted to see. Kanye, Taylor - whatever, no need to beat that dead horse. Here's where it all turns around.

There was an article in New York Magazine in April about Dolly Parton and the opening of 9-5 on Broadway.   Dolly is a role model for so many – artist, entrepreneur, and good-humored dame.  But the article mentions something about Dolly and her most famous composition (I Will Always Love You) you may not know (I sure didn’t).

Walking the Talk

April 21st, 2009 · 1 Comment · Artrepreneurship, Marketing

Can you say bucket of cold water? Wake up call?

The cobbler’s son had no shoes, which means that I – as a marketing consultant – had no official website.  This was temporarily OK when I was working with people I already knew, or who had been referred directly to me.  Now that my business has (thankfully) grown beyond the ‘friends and family’ network, I was completely embarrassed the other day when a potential client asked for my website.  ”Um, it’s still in dev…” (I lied.)
