Not to long ago, Mindy and Greg met me at Discovery Green for what turned out to be a great engagement session. It's awesome to work with couples during such a "luvy dubby" (ya I went there) time in their relationship. Mindy's eyes have so much emotion in them.

If you say a cross word about Jewels, Margery or Venus (my...
In 2009, I mainly focused on using Social Media sites like Facebook (jonathan.lgolden) and Twitter (@jlgolden) for marketing. While I was able to get great exposure, it is important for me to use some of the "battle tested" marketing techniques of the past as well. Inbound marketing techniques (blogs & social media) are great but I see no reason to shun traditional (outbound) marketing.
