In full disclosure I have removed a few of my blog posts from earlier this year. I spoke in those posts about a job that I had accepted in January that required a move back to my hometown in Milwaukee. Reading those posts in the light of that role being eliminated a few weeks ago, I felt it awkward to keep that content live as I look to new opportunities and clients.
I am very grateful that the last few months have given me the opportunity to reconnect with my family and friends; learn an enormous amount professionally; solidified my contacts and presence within the Chicago interactive and mobile community via the Heartland Mobile Council, the American Marketing Association and the Chicago Association of Direct Marketing; and learned to expand my social media voice.
I have reengaged with my business development background for my emerging consulting businesses and have not had one minute of downtime – exciting and very invigorating all at the same time. I thank the small business communities in Milwaukee and Chicago and the warm welcome extended to me which have resulted in FIVE new integrated marketing consulting agreements launching in June and July. I also thank my network for the phenomenal support they have provided as well.
Moving forward, I look to blogging about the different professional organizations I am involved with, my professional pursuits and insights on maximizing different marketing channels to build and drive business whether a large brand or a small business.
I look forward to my next blog post,
Barbara
