There is no feeling quite so hopeless as having your business page unpublished by Facebook.

Sure, I’ve heard the horror stories, but until you experience it for yourself, those stories feel an awful lot like an inbound boogie-man, invented to keep digital marketers awake at night.

We don’t even send out unsolicited messages from Em-Media’s Facebook page. We’ve been around for twenty years. You don’t get there by spamming your followers and brand evangelists.

Em-Media is growing. It is my pleasure to introduce our new Web and SEO Specialist, ERIC HERSEY. Eric is truly a great guy and brings a skill set that I’ve known we needed to get stronger in for awhile now. The landscape of advertising and marketing is shifting dramatically, and Eric’s detailed personality coupled with his passion for websites and…

Today’s business world is constantly evolving with the growth of new technology, changing how we market and advertise our companies.

Have you ever wondered why we invest or why it seems so vital that we do? For that matter, what comes to mind when you see or hear the word “invest”? For many, the concept of investing is an image of one’s money invested in financial schemes like stocks or shares with the expectation of increasing that money in the future. However, the world seems to give off this notion that investing is solely focused on earning more wealth, but it’s not!

If investing isn’t just about making more money, then what makes it so important?

Openly communicating with others can be tough — especially in a busy office setting. The atmosphere in the office can become polluted with stress, confusion, agitation, and anxiety when employees are uninformed of what’s going on. They can become unambitious and unengaged in their work. Eventually, productivity will slow and no work will get done. The employees are not at…

I recently had a conversation with a fellow Steubenville dweller and the entire conversation struck me and made me stop in my tracks and think. The conversation was all about how the other person’s colleagues have entirely different opinions about the national political landscape. He went on about how a select few are controlling the majority of our leaders, how every political leader is merely out for their own good, and how one candidate’s view on health care reform are the reason he would never consider voting for him. 

I thought, “What is so wrong about this conversation? About this way of thinking?” So often I get caught up in my own views of the world and my opinions on various issues that I forget to remember how important it is to allow people to think creatively and respond to the issues at hand. Only when we allow this type of dialogue, conversation and freethinking will we yield creative solutions to the many issues we face.
