:: Happy New Year - Updated Branding & Company Direction ::

We wanted to take this time to wish you all success and prosperity in 2010! I think it's safe to say that most of us feel the positive excitement in the air as we enter this new decade with hope and faith that our directions for business and personal growth will know no boundaries!
That said, we are excited to announce a new company launch for 2010 - SKAL Media. SKAL Media is a culmination of all we've been developing and striving for over the past few years, and brings all of our social media marketing efforts to a focus.
A lot of what we've been doing for clients has been in the form of education and training in social media marketing, ranging from webinars and seminars to consulting for clients for 30-60 day periods to help them develop their social media marketing strategy to include Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, blogs and more. We're now formalizing these efforts in the form of full-day workshops designed to both educate and provide hands-on training to those individuals wishing to take social media marketing to the next level! For more information on this, go to http://www.SKALMedia.com/training-basic.cfm
In addition, we've formalized a 2nd new product, our Social Media Analysis, Review & Consultation... a kind of comprehensive AUDIT to help you evaluate your company's standing in the social network marketing environment. Whether your company is just starting out in social media or is already well on its way, we can perform an in-depth analysis of how your current or future strategy fits in with your overall online marketing needs and strategy, including search engine optimization (SEO) and more.
