I just shared an “emoticup” of java with someone I had never met, in the real rather than virtual world. We work in the same industry. At the leading edge of social and online media. We see the innovations, we see the possibilities — the huge potential for our clients. Its there folks, it is. Our conversation exploded with the possibilities of what will be just around the corner. Just around the NEXT corner. If it took 100 years for magazine publishers to nail their format, we agreed it will take online media only 25 years to nail theirs. The Internet? We’re 15 years in folks, and that means our time is now, right now, to grab the opportunities, to push ourselves outside our comfort zones, to take risks, to be the next pioneer.

Who’s in it with me? I’ve worked with tens of dozens of companies in my career but there are only a few with leadership willing to take that risk. And for those that have I have made them hugely successful. It’s not a brag. OK well maybe a little. But it’s true. It takes a special kind of business owner, manager, executive to passionately embrace the terrifyingly new. And it takes a special kind of agency, that would be me, who has the jaundiced eye, depth of experience and enthusiasm to steer that company in the right direction. When it works, we make so much more than money, we take businesses to completely new places.

Who’s next? You? Call me. 973-539-6000
