Boston bound….
As an executive recruiter with a national clientele, I must confess…I rarely get out from behind my desk. Most of my time is spent communicating with clients, candidates and prospects online, or on the phone.

Smashing Innovation
I’ve started going to events that don’t speak directly to my immersion in direct and digital marketing. But I think there is value in any event that inspires you to examine the world around you.

Meeting of NYC Digital Marketing Professionals July Meetup
Tonight I attended my first meeting of the “NYC Digital Marketing Professionals Meetup”. I’m not sure what I was expecting, but this wasn’t it. Which is not to say it wasn’t interesting.

This morning I attended a seminar organized by the Social Media Association of Long Island. The speaker was the lead Digital & Social Analyst of The Marketing Arm (div of Omnicom).

DMA Nonprofit Federation NYC
This is sort of like going to the reception after you have skipped the ceremony…. Although I did not make it to DMA’s Nonprofit Day, I did attend a lovely dinner sponsored by Merkle at Bobby Flay’s Café Americaine in midtown Manhattan.

Direct Marketing Industry Involvement
I probably don’t do enough to give back to the industry that has served me so well. But I have participated for the past several years as a Resume Reviewer for the AFP Young Professionals resume review evening. Last night Victoria Crispo of Idealist kicked off the evening with some tips on job hunting: It

DMFA Meeting at Covenant House
Today I went to a Direct Marketing Fundraising Association lunch at Covenant House in NYC. I brought along Adrienne Levine, one of the Crandall Associates researchers, since she does a lot of our nonprofit sourcing. It was an informative session, and also fun on many levels because one of the speakers was a client of
