Help me Help you

I've always wanted to use that line, ever since I heard it in Jerry Maguire, a movie which had many a money quote. Remember "show me the money"? Well, this is not that kind of help.

First of all, I am very thankful for your time and attention in reading and helping me think with you.

I know that sometimes it feels as though the content pipeline has burst and posts just keep coming out of here. I would not ever want you to feel bad about skipping a post - or a whole week.

I take great enjoyment from writing and making sense of marketing communications. I already think you're smart and am learning a lot from you.

I've been working on a few projects - some redesign of the blog - the colors and cleaning up the sidebar for starters, and a new banner hopefully soon. I'm also somewhat in difficulty as I begin to write more in Italian - there is a reason to the madness - about topics I've lived and worked with in English.

Some of you are regular readers - you comment, link to my posts, or share them actively. It would really help me if you could take a moment to fill out a short survey. It will really help me plan the content here and my other projects so that I keep you in mind.

*** take the survey here ***

I will keep it up for a few days, so you have the opportunity to weigh in and I will share the highlights of the results.

Thank you again for being such a great community.

Hey Valeria,
I love that movie...It has many lessons to learn.

I love your posts, and read it regularly. Keep them coming.

Hi Valeria,

I can't get Tom Cruise gestures out of my head now... Filling out the survey as we speak. :)

I loved that movie. Showed it to my kids and totally forgot about the sex scene on the bookcases. That was a lesson on remembering the whole movie! Valeria, I did not forget about your new color images. Early next week.

I just did a site redesign as well, and posted my own survey, so as soon as I click 'post' I'm off to do yours!

First time commenter here- but long time reader, and i always enjoy what you have to say.

@Reza - thank you for stopping by and for providing your thoughts.

@Stuart - you're always welcome here. Thank you for the input. I'm loving the feedback.

@Barb - can't wait to see what you guys come up with. I've enjoyed the current banner so much that it took me almost three years to decide to change it :)

@Kelly - it's not as easy as it may seem to switch. I have a pretty long history which would require the transfer link for link, or I lose all my stats. Thank you for commenting for the first time! Here's the appropriate red carpet. I'm honored.
