Steele Agency

I’ve been hard at work making sure that what we are all about matches up with the needs we meet and the projects we undertake.  And of course, before too long, my physics studies reminded me to simply draw a picture.  We do this for all of our projects so we can figure out our [...]

We’re going through a site redesign in order to mirror the refocusing that the company has made in the last few months towards digital marketing technology and away from print. Bear with us as content is added and functions are increased. We hope the new design will help direct our visitors to information that they are interested in easily and help them find content that they might not have originally been looking for.

A review of the just released Ad-ology report: 2010 Small Business Marketing Forecast including perspectives on social media. We’ve broken it down, highlighted the data you need to know and are interested in your thoughts.

The Steele Agency team is excited to welcome David Nuckolls to the staff as Social Media Assistant.

For a small business owner, the idea of keeping up with yet another “inbox” is daunting, much less a twitter feed, facebook profile and page, linkedin account, youtube channel or delicious account. Now, of course, my first disclaimer is always that you don’t have to be everywhere to be effective (and often must not be everywhere to be effective) but all this aside, it is still exhasting to think about. So, I’m putting together a list of programs that can make some of it a bit easier (and for free).

There’s a way to control what you see when you log in to Facebook. It’s just a little hidden, but here’s a quick how-to to getting the information you want in your Facebook news feed.

Nov. 10, 2008| CHARLOTTE, NC. PayPal founder, Peter Thiel, said American entrepreneurship is the way out of the current economic crisis. His talk, “The Business Model of the United States” was given at the opening reception of the Collegiate Network’s East Coast Editor’s Conference held in Charlotte, NC on Nov. 7. He crafted a view of American business for the seventy undergraduate editors of independent newspapers and magazines gathered for the weekend conference. Premised on the idea that the most fundamental business principle is “not to compete,” he described the type of business which defines America on the world stage given the current political, international, and economic climate.

ROME, GA. When Sergey Brin and Larry Page began work on their Stanford doctoral project to create a search engine that would better connect users to relevant information, it’s possible they envisioned the kind of global success their brand would have just ten years following their first $100,000 investment from Sun Microsystems even from their home garage office. As Maureen Schumacher clearly articulated at Berry College’s Executive Round Table Dinner, the company is founded not just on the concept of connection to information, but on the notions of innovation – nine of them to be exact.

Freedom Flight Center wants you. Executives announced plans to begin accepting flight students in two to three weeks at this week’s Rome Kiwanis Club meeting. CFO, David Wright presented an entertaining history of aviation, including the real story of Orville and Wilbur Wright – after a coin flip put Wilbur in the driver’s seat first that fateful morning, he wrecked and left Orville with the history making flight. As he continued with tales of the aerial feats, it was easy to see just how much this man loves flying.

When Wright Ledbetter and Derek Bell submitted their “Porto Futurus” design to the citywide competition to bring large-scale art to the city, it had already come a long way from the paper towel drawings they had sketched over beer while hanging out one summer night in 2007. And now, after ten years of friendship and nearly a year since that fateful night, the concept is fast becoming reality with the second of three concrete segments poured last week and stonework underway.
