We have clients coming to us asking if they can market their brand without social media. The answer is yes. And the insight in this TED talk gives a great example as to why more and more small business owners are turning away from social media.

"...it turns out, if you treat your attention with respect, - so you don't fragment it; you allow it to stay whole, you preserve your concentration - when it comes time to work you can do one thing after another, and do it with intensity, and intensity can be traded for time.

This week more than ever we wish we were off the grid enjoying the last of the fall season. Sort of like this picture, just ambling through some open space looking more west than wild with no desk (and definitely no pumpkin spice latte) in sight.

The good news is you can get off the grid (if you so desire, we happen to know a great field) and we're here to help you. Read on for details: http://bit.ly/2GBCx7MNOV

Unlike these matching knee-length madras shorts circa 1989, we do not recommend matching your competitors when it comes to your brand.
