Jory Des Jardins and Cincy Social Media
I gotta say that Thursday was a great day. And, believe it or not, Empower Media Marketing (@EmpowerMM) had a huge roll to play in this. First, I serve as director for a local chapter of HOPE worldwide here in Cincinnati. The great folks at Empower held a fund raiser and food drive to help HOPE worldwide Cincinnati Chapter feed needy families over the holidays. In one hour they raised enough to provide holiday dinners for 8 families. Awesome. Then Empower hosted Cincy Social Media that evening and really hit a home run with Jory Des Jardins (@JoryDJ).
Econ Lessons for My Kids
My oldest daughter is 13 years old. Walking into the bathroom after her is like walking into a data center as they’re pulling cable. Wires everywhere. Terminating in flat irons, curling irons, curlers, and myriad other energy sucking devices. Only 5 more years to go. Hopefully. But then two other sisters wait to follow in her footsteps.
It’s Been A Great Year
Well, I have about 3 weeks left in my tenure as a CINNUG director. For the last year I’ve been the defacto marketing director with the group, communicating with sponsors, conducting market surveys, gathering content and writing and distributing newsletters. I’d like to think that my contributions have contributed to the 20% increase in attendance in 2009.
