Recently I have been hearing folks bashing Apple for being a mega huge industry giant. People are concerned about legacy since Steve Jobs has taken a medical leave. Also I have noticed the millenial crowd views Apple as another faceless corporation, a la Microsoft. Saying there is no difference between Microsoft and Apple pains me!
A new year and a new decade are now upon us. Yes! Everyone loves new beginnings. Even though January 1st is just another day, it carries with it a special type of symbolism. During the holidays I watched more television than I typically do. What really stuck out to me was the constant mentions of […]
Soon Thanksgiving will be upon us! I have a lot of love for Thanksgiving, it is a holiday where all we really do is: stop to appreciate what we have, eat with pure gluttony and just relax. There are no gifts or merchandise to purchase. Although the retailers of the world have started stuffing the […]
We all want to believe we can get something for nothing (or close to nothing). It is reasonable to expect value when marketing online. Recently I have seen people believe they are getting a steal with their paid search traffic buys or link building buys. Paid search falls under search engine marketing (SEM) and link […]

Here is my official disclaimer: I take no responsibility for anyone’s movie-going enjoyment or lack thereof […]
I realize that sounds almost racy… Go on and google yourself. Reputations matter online and it is a trend that I expect will only increase over time. If you don’t think it matters that much, guess again. If your name is Joe Smith then you are probably right. However, if Joe Smith’s online moniker is […]
We’ve all read it and seen it before. “Our new app is going to be everything to you, it is the NEW solution to every business pain!” They never tell you that the solution will try to do everything you need, but it will only do it sort of well. Conglomeration of services = the […]
Some people say that the only constant thing in life is change… We agree. That’s why we are constantly trying to keep things fresh and new at CircleClick. This past week we proudly opened a new downtown location. This is exciting for a variety of reasons, mainly that we are more accessible to our existing […]
Recently a fledgling competitor decided to quote us in one of their blog posts. Awesome. I love that they credited us and that they agree. What I find confusing is that they seemed to have missed the fact we have a competing product – which is BETTER! Maybe I have drank a good deal of […]
