Bridging the Gap: Building Careers in Digital Marketing

Today I’m at Suffolk University’s Sawyer Business School speaking at the Bridging the Digital Gap confrere, where I’ll be sharing thoughts on building digital careers.

You can get the flavor of what we’re talking about. I’ll be suggesting that many of the same things that make for good digital marketing also foster successful digital careers.

I hope you’ll take a look at the slide deck — and also if you’re around, please mark your calendar for next Wednesday to join my friend and ISITE Design colleague Gene Ehrbar a free webinar on Responsive Deisgn. This is how to make future friendly websites that adapt to well to the demands of mobile technology, and its a hot topic among designers, strategists, and those of us who love mobile.

Thanks to everyone who made today happen, and to everyone who turned out before a big holiday weekend.

Valuable marketing career advice from @usefularts Bridging the Gap: Building Careers in Digital Marketing http://bit.ly/Hs3cMnPaul Schmidt
Every industry has values people who succeed in it share. Generosity we have, but stability? Apparently that’s what you get in HVAC.

@UsefulArts Dave Wieneke says navigating the digital gap is essential for businesses, esp. when it comes to branding and marketing #btg12Suffolk_Business

"You are not who you say you are, you are who the #markets say you are" @usefularts #btg12Erica Webb
@HeyNitro Yeah! @usefularts is a great speaker. He’s also been on a panel with Dave. 🙂 ^TVsnap

Creating experiences that move audiences isn’t a one off campaign. Its a plan at the brand level, to build the staff, the art, the data, the systems, and the accumulation of experience to position an organization.

Great start to #btg12 by @UsefulArts and @csann . Standout theme for me is @UsefulArts quote: be busy, revenue will follow.Brian Shea
"Fortune favors the bold & the busy!". Be busy and you’ll find a way to revenue. – @usefulartsChristian Sann
"The best time to negotiate for new business is when you’re so busy that you can walk away from business." ~ @UsefulArts #btg12 Todd Van Hoosear
Historic Boston ArchitecturePinterest
Boston, Massachusetts History and Architecture — Welcome to iBostoniBoston.org is your site for Boston history and architecture. In addition, you can find information on Boston’s public places, art, histo…
My first website was an extension of my hobby – Boston’s history and architecture. I built it as a passionate background task. One day the State House asked if I could make a site like mine for them. This grew in to working as a lead for part of Mass.gov — that work won a 2002 MITX award. That led to running digital team at the Christian Science Monitor, Thomson Reuters, and beyond.

My passionate hobby never created revenue. It created a career opening that otherwise wouldn’t have been there. I had learned SEO, and analytics, and how to write on a deadline — and that expertise opened the door for work that published a million pages as work.
