Warning: The views and opinions expressed on this page concerning marketing, web design, video production, social media, search engine optimization, and business in general may not completely conform to the "buzz" that constantly overwhelms you as you try to navigate the path to the best marketing solution for your business. These views are based on 20-plus years of professional experience and training in psychology, sales, and marketing, 30 plus years of sales and entrepreneurship (since I was 8 years old), and a college degree in Marketing. All this feeds through the mind of a person that tends to take what is currently "hot", takes small tidbits of it that actually make long term sense, and adds that into a marketing mix, and then looks ahead to what the next the next big buzz items are to see what is actually usable for real businesses.

Logo Tag Cloud

Categories // Trying Things Out

This is a tag cloud that follows the shape of the "@" portion in the Brian Kelly Multimedia logo. In theory, it seems like a good idea, but haven't quite determined if it actually is really useful for anything other than "Look what I made...".

Right now, I have the links all set to go to the homepage, but each can be set to unique urls as well. If this was for a customer, and they had the appropriate content to link to, I could see activating the links on each word to go to a specific page on a website.
