Every time I teach a class, speak at a conference, or work with a client I like to leave behind some ‘goodies’. In the past I had given out individual ‘short code’ links to lead you to documents, presentations, and videos. I have finally come to my senses and consolidated every digital perk I give away on ONE page. Brilliant right? Don’t ask why it took me so long to do it (mostly it has to do with an active work and travel schedule).
The documents themselves are updated quite frequently as the platforms and tactics I speak about seem to evolve every 48 hours. Some of the content here may seem unfamiliar to you – no worries. I have loaded up some of the more general presentation slides that I use even though without the live training and commentary the slides are actually quite useless. The solution is to hire me to speak or train at your conference or company!
Currently I am being asked to speak on all things Google+ as well as next-step and advanced digital media strategic and tactical topics. These are the types of content you will find here as a result. Don’t be fooled by the seemingly narrow focus of the content. I’ve been working in technology and digital media since the early 1990s. Combined with a solid business analyst and project management background in corporate technology and communications, I can speak and train on pretty much anything to do with online technology and using it to drive real business goals and profits.
Plus I’m pretty personable and funny on a stage if I do say so myself…

Google+ Consultancy
Social media networks and their value to professionals, brands and companies has gone through a shake-down in the past 2+ years. Google+ is leading the surge on the next wave of digital communications and many companies are still behind on adoption and implementation.
As a flagship services product, Purple Stripe is offering retainer-based consulting for companies, brands, and agencies to act as a ‘brain trust’ to be able to consult and work with so that you don’t waste time – or worse – incorrectly implement and utilize a Google+ outreach.

- Social Media Strategy vs. Social Media Tactics : In the niche of social media marketing and digital communications, it’s well-known that a company or brand should have a plan before attempting to use online social networks to grow business.

- Do You Need a Consultant or a Coach? : It’s good to know the difference between consultant and coach, and know the difference when looking for help. In my experience, and in my line of services this is what a consultant vs. a mentor / coach looks like…
