Dear Friends and Colleagues,

As summer starts heating up we are firing on all cylinders to continue driving results for the clients we are so appreciative to work with.

A few of the exciting and larger-scale efforts we are working on now include:

• New client web site and product photography
• Employee spotlight social media campaign for multiple retail locations covering the Mid-South
• Expanding product sales regionally through online and traditional media buys
• Garnering much needed funds for more than one Memphis area non-profit
• Configuring and confirming event logistics, marketing, and PR efforts for multiple upcoming large fundraising events
• A very exciting announcement benefitting very worthy non-profit and cancer research organizations
• and many, many, many more things as well as planning our next monthly Happy Hour on July 7 which will celebrate Paris, France!

As always we hope to see you soon!

Sincerely, 

Valerie Morris and Patrick Collins

MARKETING MOMENT

Do you know Reddit?

Reddit, a bare-bones social network self-titled as the “front page of the internet,” can be a powerful tool when used strategically.

Reddit is composed of a very tech-savvy audience that bristles at any obvious marketing tactics, they are the ones that don’t want to be solicited too.

To win at Reddit, share only truly awesome content, and post only to extreme niches.

There are subcategories (known as subreddits) that deal with some of the narrowest, most specific interests in existence.

Find your niche and dominate!
