What’s Useful Arts?
Hi, I’m Dave Wieneke, an Internet strategist who manages online marketing for a firm that provides trademark screening and copyright research for lawyers and savvy marketers.
I have published a chain of technology magazines, been online strategist for a national news organization, and managed e-government initiatives for several US states.
Currently I speak on interactive marketing topics at professional conferences — such as mass personalization of emails, global web redesigns, and how to loose the “corporate voice” to connect better with your market.
