"... hey the next SMBME looks like a good one... brand building... creating video content... but what is a 'cellphoneSketchpad'??";

Social media has taken the old Chinese Proverb viral. Anyone can learn to fish out here. All you need are the right tools, the right teachers and the right attitude – including the willingness to #fail (which many times, IS the right teacher). Practice. Patience. Perseverance. We are often one google-click away from the answer we need – tho sometimes it’s more about baiting the hook with the right query.

SMBME brings together a talented and eclectic mix of local fishermen and women who continually cast into the global cyber-seas of the social net. While no ‘one’ recipe will be right for everyone, SMBME offers a smorgasbord of ingredients – tools, ideas, perspectives, techniques, resources – that may be useful to do the work (and/or play) that you do.

I look forward to sharing some of my own creative practices developing cellphoneSketchpad at the next SMBME on Friday, April 23. Also thrilled to be sharing the session with Jaica Kinsman of Guiding Stars and Chris Cavallari of Filmosity Productions. Jaica will present Brand-Building through Community-Centered Content. Chris will share best practices for Creating Video Content for Your Business.

Hope to see you Friday, April 23 at SMBME. (as always, breakfast provided).
