Exploring an Empty TMA

Late last year, Visual Designer Ben Morales was among a handful of the region's top mobile photographers to be invited to participate in The Toledo Museum of Art’s Exploring an #emptyTMA event, an opportunity to explore this world-class museum on a day that it was closed to the public.

EMU Search Marketing 2014: Humanize Your Search and Social

“People don’t buy cars from buildings. They buy from people. Use social media to humanize your brand.” ---Mary Henige, Director of Social Media for General Motors.

Tools for inspiring great social content

Tools for Writing Great Social Content

Most community managers and social content pros will admit that writing fresh and remarkable content week in and week out can be hard. Very hard. Not only does the content need to be strategic, it has to strike the right balance of length, engagement, branded but not too branded, shareable, actionable, conversational...did I leave anything out?
