When you visited the website initially, it put a code into your browsing history, allowing it to follow your web activity. When you visit a different site or Facebook, the code triggers those sites to show the initial site’s ads. Slightly mind-blowing isn’t it?

Many of us hashtag words, sometimes even whole sentences, on private platforms including emails, instant messages and even real-life conversations (ironically though, of course). #WeveAllDoneIt #DontPretendLikeYouHavent

Media multi-tasking is on the rise!

If you’re like most, the time you spend actually setting down to watch television is probably not what it used to be in this turbo paced society. However, research is showing that people are still watching and those still watching are taking action. According to July 2015 polling, Market Track found that more than half of US internet users watch commercials on TV, as opposed to fast-forwarding through them, channel-surfing or simply leaving the room when they came on.

Don’t Tread Water

Anyone a fan of Netflix’s “House of Cards”?  While watching the first season this past week I heard the quote “Treading water is the same as drowning for people like you and me.” and for some reason this quote resonated with me.

Water treading is an aspect of swimming that involves a swimmer to stay in a vertical position in the water while keeping his or her head above the surface of the water. Treading water provides the swimmer an opportunity to keep the head from becoming submerged while not providing sufficient directional thrust to overcome inertia and propel the swimmer in any specific direction.

Professionally…I urge you to swim! […]
