Celebrating an Anniversary
Ten Golden Years. That’s what we’ll be celebrating next week at the Agri-Marketing Conference. Cindy and I started out with Talking News Releases before moving on to blogging, podcasting and social networking. Being the very social kind of people that we are it all made sense.
