		<title>Nuance is Dead</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Yesterday, during danah boyd&#8217;s keynote presentation for SXSWi, she made a comment to which I had to stop myself from jumping up amidst a packed room and shouting, &#8220;Amen! Testify, sister!&#8221; Her comment consisted of three words printed on a slide deck:
Nuance amidst extremes
It was in reference to quotes and soundbites from folks who have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Adding Qualitative to Your Social Media Measurement Mix</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
I should probably offer Mark Schaefer some sort of kickback since his blog never fails to stimulate new ideas. A couple weeks ago, he wrote a post on measurement in social media. Now you&#8217;re probably thinking, &#8220;Yet another blogpost talking about measurement? Why in the world is that so special?&#8221; It wasn&#8217;t just the content [...]]]></description>

		<title>Have You Already Carved Your Hiring Candidates From Stone?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Once upon a time I was a hiring manager, and perhaps if fate has its way again, I'll be in a position with this type of responsibility again soon. But for now, I'm on the other side of the desk. After reviewing some recent hires by prominent organizations, a rather interesting pattern emerged: how similar the hires are to each other...and to the hiring manager.]]></description>

		<title>Great Customer Engagement Starts On The Inside</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Most businesses that know they need to create a customer engagement program start with good questions:

 How do we establish our brand promise and get it in the forefront of our customers&#8217; minds?
 How do we become an essential partner with our customers?
 How can we best understand their everyday needs and challenges?

What&#8217;s missing here, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hush Up And Just Enjoy Those Super Bowl Ads</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
I&#8217;m always fascinated with the day-after fallout of the Super Bowl adfest. There are plenty of people doing their Monday morning armchair quarterbacking thing, lamenting how terrible the commercials were and how much they continue to suck year after year. It&#8217;s at this point I try to take my branding hat off and recognize something [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Battle Between Getting Things Done And Yummy Chocolate Cake</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.wnyc.org/shows/radiolab/">Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich from Radiolab</a> talked about an interesting experiment conducted by Stanford University professor Baba Shiv. It turns out that when we store all of these tasks (or anything really) inside our brain's short-term memory, our rational self becomes overloaded giving our emotional self space to take over. It certainly gives greater insight into the panicky feeling I was wrestling with earlier today. ]]></description>

		<title>My Blogging Quandary&#8230;I Need Your Help</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here's the challenge that is weighing rather heavily on me as we enter the new year. As a blogger, I just don't feel I can keep up with two primary professional blogs and a business blog for BaileyHill Media (let alone trying to continually grow BaileyHill Media's business). I now realize that what I once loved to do has become an arduous chore and I don't like it. So while there's no perfect solution I'm trying to figure out what will allow me to sustain my passion for blogging ideas, my desire for further building a community here, and my commitment to helping our growing stable of clients at BaileyHill Media.]]></description>
