A Marketing Chap’s Advice On Recognition
What ho, chaps!
Before proceeding, let’s take a moment to examine this splendid blog that you are now reading. It was created by my chum Anna Rydne, who has amazingly managed to build the whole thing from scratch in under a year.
I read it regularly, as I hope you do too. Normally I leap onto each post as it is published, but if I miss one I always catch up later when time permits. The content is always fresh, packaged in an entertaining format, and invariably relevant. It is also updated with impressive frequency – a feat that as a fellow-blogger I admire greatly. Considering how much Anna has accomplished in such a short time, one can only assume this blog will be soon scaling the heights to blogosphere stardom. I, for one, will enjoy watching this ascent immensely.

“As a soon to be reporter/anchor I was thinking what can I be to be different? And then it hit me. Why not interview your past employers on camera, and put it on your website so you can e-mail it off. And I did! I interviewed, set up the cameras, white balanced, recorded, tracked the audio levels, and edited the video myself”, Katie explains how she came up with the idea of making a video out of her professional references.
