Ever taken a DISC Behavioral Profile?  David Baker  is an awesome consultant we hired at Paramore|Redd and his analysis proved to be pretty insightful, and accurate.

Make your avocation your vocation. Somebody told me that was a smart thing to do. I would like to be able to say that I have done that intentionally but the truth is something else.  See, I love to travel and in the past five years we have gotten the chance to work for a number of organizations in the travel industry. It’s something we can understand and do good work for. And it’s a natural for the web.

In the fall of 2009, Paramore|Redd set a goal that we would launch Workamajig by January 2010 and this was successfully accomplished. Workamajig is a web-based job tracking and project management program that claims to “understand the creative firm”...and they do.

February 21, 2010 marked my five year anniversary of employment at Paramore|Redd Online Marketing and I thought I would recap some of the most important lessons that I have learned over the last 1,825 days spent as an online marketer.

It’s conference time again! Next week I’ll be attending SMX East in NYC. I’m stoked to meet everyone and grab a few beers.

For everyone who can’t make it out to New York this year, I’ll be live blogging from several sessions at SMX East. I’ll be blogging a total of 10 sessions next week.

Today Paramore|Redd will be inducted into the Future 50 Hall of Fame.  This means we’ve won Future 50 for the 5th time and we can’t win anymore.  This is a Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce award which honors the 50 fastest growing companies in Middle Tennessee.  One of the things I like about this award is that it’s based on results, just like our company (see tag line, simple, clear and focused on results).

To say that I am proud of this would be, well, an understatement.  Our company is about 7.5 years old.  When we won for the first time I started to stress immediately because I read the rules and found out that after 5 times you get in the Hall of Fame.  Now, it doesn’t say you have to win 5 times in a row, but I’m thinking that’s exactly what I want to do and so the stress.

All of life is timing. A second too early and you look goofy. A few seconds too late and you’re disrespectful. Make that a few minutes and you could have missed the opportunity altogether.

Well, this time we got it right - hired Justin Briggs, our SEO expert, mere minutes before he won a national award for search engine marketing.

Steve Chandler and Mandy Butters… two names that will melt in your mouth in no time. We’re more than happy (I’m actually doing the jiggy dance in my office at this exact moment) that these two very experienced marketing folks have joined us. Here’s a bit about them and why you’re lucky they’re here too:

After two weeks of vacation at the beautiful, sunny, 75-degree Mayan Riviera on the coast of Mexico with my husband and partner, I headed home Saturday thinking about the keynote presentation I’ll give today in Raleigh, North Carolina at the North Carolina Governor’s Conference on Hospitality and Tourism.

It’s always great to add new talent to our roster of creative geniuses. As part of Paramore|Redd’s acquisition of Cora Syndicate, we’re proud to announce that Jonathan Kelly has joined us as senior software engineer. Jon joins Sean Gates and Matthew Callis on the programming side of our web design and development team.
