  • I Need a Hashtag for the @stkate Leadership Institute – Please Advise!

    I’m a member of emarketing team for the St. Catherine University Leadership Institute. My colleagues — brilliant women from all over Minneaplis-St. Paul are developing a social media plan to raise awareness of the Leadership Institute and bring in more students. We’re sharing the love with social media instead of keeping one of the best…

  • @WAFrostCompany – Wine in Two Views

    W.A. Frost – Gorgeous Patio, Port + Chocolate, Awesome Mussels, Thoughtful Beer List That’s what comes to mind when I think of W.A. Frost. Yesterday, we celebrated our anniversary on the patio with a garlicky, spicy, delicious lunch of mussels and Muscadet. Mmmmm, except only the manager had the keys to the cellar and our…

  • A small business’ perspective on “How to Do Social Media.” Strategy + Content

    I learned something today about Social Media (rarely a day when I don’t), but this was significant.

So many choices. One of our favorite restaurants is a leisurely stroll when there’s no ice on the sidewalks or…

  • How Stupid Could we be? Potential Recall of Smoking Ban in Minnesota

    If there is one word I don’t like and try not to use, it would have to be “stupid.” But today, I read something in the Star-Tribune that made me angrier than I am at all those people who deny climate change. So that’s why I’m using the “S” word Here’s a snippet of what…

  • Cassoulet: Why Use Social Media

    Why should my local deli Tweet? or my bike shop? or any business? Why follow @Sara_G_N_Kerr? How relevant is it that Tuesday I ate Cassoulet for lunch while sitting on a radiator because it was so cold here? Granted, I usually have more important things to say. But then again, how do I know my…
