Hi friends.
My agency, along with the talent in the New Media division are putting on a social media seminar on March 18 from 6-9pm
It will feature Raymi the Minx, Casie Stewart and Sean Ward followed by drinks and networking.

Hope you can make it!
Sean Ward, one of my newest business co-horts, caught me on video the other night at Casie’s house after our SMWTO event and asked me some questions about the launch of my New Media Division. Check out the video and interview here
Meet Carly-Anne Fairlie of The Fairlie Agency. Carly-Anne noticed that most of the work was going to the people on her roster who are active on Youtube and social media so the natual thing to do was to go full-force. The founded the Toronto Blog Stars and now she represents Raymi, Casie, and me. Stay tuned for the announcement of our first big event together.
Thank you Sean for posting about me & the agency!
Yesterday I went to the Social Media Trends in 2010 presentation to hear Scott Stratton speak. He runs a company called UnMarketing and I was really looking forward to hearing what he had to say. I went with Currybomb and we just made it in time, luckily Casie had saved us seats.
I was really impressed with Scott’s presentation. He was very engaging and I actually took notes and learned a lot. If you follow me on Twitter you likely saw my favourite quotes of the evening:
“Twitter is my trusted Google”
“Twitter is like a water cooler for Entrepreneurs”
“If you don’t know who the creepy dude is in your office, you are the creepy dude”
He really gets social media and his philosophy “stop marketing, start engaging” makes sense. Scott/UnMarketing started on Twitter in Jan 2009 and logged 7,000 tweets in his first month to be relevant. This hard work earned him a book deal and I am definitely going to read it when it comes out. Thanks to UnMarketing & Refresh Events for putting on a great event.
Afterwards I went with Sean, new friend Sheldon & Casie to her house for a food and a hang before Kathryn picked my up to go to our next event. It was a blast hanging with you guys and we’ll have to do it again soon!
I was thrown for a loop this week and took a Time Out to step back and recollect my thoughts in order to move forward. The best advice I’ve ever been given to deal with conflict, of course comes from my Dad. Keep a level head; think before you speak; and to treat others the way you would expect to be treated.
What’s the best advice you’ve been given to deal with conflict?
