PromaxBDA Blog: Remember Promax 1998 Toronto
According to the in-flight map, greetings from 35,000 feet above St. Louis en route to the 2017 PromaxBDA Conference! Hard to believe this is roughly my 20th (!)

Morgan Freeman, Morgan Freeman!
There have been moments in my career where I catch myself and think, “How in the hell did you end up HERE?” Usually in a good way. Oh, sure, there was the whole near-death thing back in 2010, but most of the time it’s one of those, “Wow, this is an amazing opportunity. How did a […]

Let’s Start Something…
It’s that time of year! Time when EVERY post house, creative agency, freelancer and starving artist descend upon New York for the annual PromaxBDA conference. And if you’re a network creative director, producer, AP or PA, you’ve probably already been inundated with lunch, drink, dinner, coffee, and breakfast meeting requests.
