Social Survival Tactics: Facebook Lockout and Disabled Accounts
Despite its various quirks and idiosyncrasies - I love Facebook. In my opinion, it is still the best social media platform for me both professionally and personally … at this time. But Lord Facebook did you test my patience and scared the hell out of me on Thanksgiving.
Brand Retention, A Study In Perfection: Harley-Davidson
Rarely does one construct a brand that has equal amounts of cultural significance and product association. Recently I have had the opportunity to work with Orlando Harley- Davidson, consulting them through Big Block Studios on their social media, content marketing and interactive integration. You would think that a rough-and-tumble brand like Harley-Davidson would just give the finger to the world and not give a shit about aggressive optimization.

Then there are others you may never meet face-to-face.
The "Miley Circus" Factor: Transitioning Your Product to a New Audience
There are very few things less interesting to me than Miley Cyrus.

A Portfolio Incubator: The Real-World Catch-22 Killer
For the past several months, I have been mentoring a University of Central Florida student Julia Harlow (I could spend a whole post about how great she is and how well she will do in the future, just take my word for it) who has her sights on an advertising and design career.
