I recently discovered a new web gadget, VIZIFY–which allows users to quickly build a personal ‘info-graphic' style website, almost immediately.

From a Social Media perspective, your site can quickly become the hub of your social media accounts–with up-to-the-minute analytics, graphically represented.

Paying customers may add their own custom domain (in my case, dougeymer.com).

Think of your site as a set of components that can be changed “on the fly".

Behind, the scenes, VIZIFY provides me with simple to read analytics.

On my site:

I have a graphic that shows all of my social media sites as well as my company website.
I also have a graphic that visually shows my career and another that shows my education.
There is even have a document page that holds my resume — just in case the right full-time gig comes along.

There is a free version of the online service. However, I found some of the customizable aspects worthy of plunking down the money for the paid version.

My only disappointment thus far, is the signature graphic that can be added to my emails. The instructions for set-up are very well done, but the finished product does not contain the same thoughtful graphics that appear within the website.

Please take a look at VIZIFY. I truly think that you will enjoy the experience.–Doug.

Amongst my 2014 business resolutions, I am committed to taking a more wholehearted approach to BLOGGING.

Up until this point, I have found the process to be a bit of a schizophrenic experience. One part of my brain makes up questions in hopes that another part will chime in with either a solution or something equally or even more thought-provoking idea. Many times, my ADD is tweaked, shifting my focus to a new app, image, or snarky Facebook response–that suddenly pops up on my monitor.

Face it, today’s brave new marketing world is evolving to quickly to allow the necessary rules of engagement, to be properly defined and implemented.

Contrast the social media world of today with the printing industry and how it developed, over many, many, years–Gutenberg to Franklin to digital printing. Even television’s 20 or 30 year development period, pales in comparison.

So my audience of business-minded professionals, please allow me to act as moderator/catalyst (as opposed to author/lecturer), and lets get the dialog started.

Here is my (3 part) question:

If your high school senior was interested in a creativity-based marketing career:

Would you encourage or discourage them?
From a college standpoint, where would you suggest that they apply?
In addition to a college education, what other experiences do you feel would help bolster their career?
