RFPs

Tis the season for RFPs? I'm not sure what's going on, but there have been a lot of RFPs hitting the street recently. This is a good sign for the economy since there are budgets available and work needs to be done. However, the amount of time chewed up in developing the responses is significant. I don't think organizations realize the amount of time that companies put into these.

Long time no blog

As you can see, it's been ages since I last 'blogged'. I use facebook and twitter more for posting interesting articles and voicing my point of view. If you'd like to know more about my company, or review what I've posted recently, check me out on facebook or at @swmgroup.

Why I'm blogging today is because I read a wonderful article in Fast Company. It's a great magazine and offers a fresh and innovative view on business. This article is about the "future of advertising" and speaks to the acceptance and success of companies like mine. I'm so happy to see them writing about this.

For those interested, here's the article.
