We go home thinking about how to make our design concepts stand out more, which headlines will speak best to a brand’s position and what we can do to provide amazing results with each project we take on – we’re living our work every day of the week. It’s not necessarily something we can turn off and, as we all do, we tend to find ways to free up some mental storage space from time to time.  Continue Reading

Held on the campus of the University of North Georgia, this three-year program gives tourism  professionals like myself the opportunity to learn techniques from all facets of the tourism industry. From generational marketing strategies to data and research, Marketing College introduces new insights from experts with real-world knowledge and experience. Marketing College has allowed me the chance to gain important insight into trends affecting the tourism industry. During my tenure as marketing manager at Bok Tower Gardens I was able to implement tourism marketing strategies to gain traction in positioning the National Historic Landmark to travelers throughout the Central Florida region. Now, since I joined the CNP team earlier this year, I’ll be able to continue to make a meaningful impact marketing our destination to Florida travelers with our partners at Visit Central Florida.

We would also like to extend the invitation to our community of clients and friends. Jarrett will be facilitating a presentation about our unique inbound marketing strategy. For organizations looking to drive traffic to their websites, this brief should not be missed.

Our fundamental approach to marketing in today’s environment is based on a hub-and-spoke methodology. Your website is the single, central hub for all your brand’s content and will have more eyes on it than any other marketing tactic. We will illustrate how to effectively leverage your marketing efforts to increase engagement through your most critical marketing tool, your website.

In addition to the workshop, CNP will be providing a catered Chipotle lunch, followed by an optional ‘watch party’ as team USA takes on Germany in the 2014 World Cup. Please RSVP to Leslie Heimer or tweet @leslieheimer.

I’m pleased to announce today that CNP has opened a second office in downtown Orlando, as part of our long-term growth strategy.  We’ve noticed a fairly steady influx of fully integrated clients based in the City Beautiful,  so we’re trying to expand our physical footprint to suit.

The location, in the heart of downtown (on Orange Ave. & Wall St.) should help us draw in new business and enhance client offerings under the leadership of our newly appointed Vice President of Strategy and Development Leslie Heimer. She’ll head up marketing and strategy for our Orlando-based clients.

A sixth generation native to Central Florida, Leslie received her BS from the University of Florida and is currently working on her MS in Brand Management. She has more than 17 years of corporate development experience and has received numerous awards for her work in brand strategy and community involvement.

Previously, Leslie managed the Strategic Development division of Spalding Consulting, Inc., an IT and Financial Management company located in the Maryland/DC area. As Program Manager for a number of client support teams, her ability to offer marketing and awareness campaigns for complex IT solutions gained her clients national exposure and secured critical program funding.

The rest of you – you know who you are.

You have the necessary skills required to send a fax. In lieu of texting, you have actually spoken to someone on the phone in the past week. You adore the sensual feel of 20-lb. multi-purpose copy paper. Every now and then, you even like to pull out your old trusty old Rolodex and take a sniff of all your “experience.” Continue Reading

You have to love a nation that celebrates its Independence every July 4th, not with a parade of guns, tanks and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism.  – Erma Bombeck

Happy 4th of July from your friends at CNP!
