The weekend move.

I was helping a friend(Wes Funk) move this weekend and it was like old times. A bunch of former MyFamily.com employees were there, specifically representing the Marketing and IT groups. In catching up with some of my former coworkers I realized just how sharp of a group existed. Mike Chertudi, now a director at Omniture, Wes also a director at Omniture, I am at PointeCast now a division of Helius, Ben Brutsch a SR. manager at TGN (Formerly MyFamily.com. Also recently I had lunch with Teague McKnight a Sr. Director at Cirrus Data and then today I had lunch with Corey Davis, the VP of Internet Marketing at in2m. It makes me realize that I have had the opportunity to learn from some exceptionally sharp people. At lunch today we were talking about how cool it would be to set up an agency and bring in all of the big hitter that we knew. At Myfamily we each had our speciality...since then we have all broadened our knowledge base and expertise, but still would be a great compliment to each other.
Since joining PointeCast and now more recently Helius I have been able to tap into this network of friends and hence knowledge to really help me out. I have used their background in SEO and SEM to further increase my own knowledge. Also I have been able to solicit best practices advice in a very new industry. IT does really go to show that it is not what you know but WHO that is most important. I will continue to post about my marketing life here at Helius, especially as I market in the hyper competitive PowerPoint to Flash and Learning Management System (LMS) as well as I start to take on the Digital Signage and IPTV Markets.
