Leading a Digital Revolution

“We all get the exact same 365 days. The only difference is what we do with them.” — Hillary DePiano  Cheers to 2020!  We are all on a personal journey with lessons to be learned, challenges to be overcome and joys to be remembered. I find this time of year brimming with reflections and ideas about […]

Cinematic Design

We just wrapped up a day of video shooting for the new Tahzoo website and internal training. By all accounts, it was a very well-orchestrated and produced event, special thanks to Don Low and Bryan Fitch. It seemed a fitting conclusion to the week and in advance of my Desk of Brad this week, as […]

The Experience Effect

The Experience Effect is changing how we do business. This is where Tahzoo comes in. No longer does one-size-fits-all content suffice. Today’s leading businesses need to consider everything they do in terms of “The Experience.” This goes for every company I know. If you make three-dimensional products; good for you, but that product is an […]

Digital Asset Management or a CMS

“Action is the foundational key to all success.” – Pablo Picasso  Most content management systems are designed to manage websites and web pages, not content. The reason we bet the company on SDL Tridion is that it was a component-based approach for delivering a web experience and it had a decoupled architecture, ensuring that it […]

Transforming Experiences

Digital Innovation

I spoke this week at the Digital Innovation Summit in Utrecht. It was a wonderful event with over 100 attendees, including customers, prospects, and partners. My speech focused on the experience economy and how the quality and shareability of experience is a hallmark of good marketing. In the experience economy, it’s not about how much […]

Let’s Get Social!

“What would you do if you believed you only had a few minutes to live? Don’t look back. Don’t be afraid. Don’t give up. Don’t Look Down.”       – Sir Richard Branson  I’ve been talking a lot recently about The Experience Economy my perspective on how I think the world of business has shifted over recent years from one of consumption to one based on […]

Our Mission

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”               – Mark Twain  Our Inspiration, Our Values, Our Mission…  This is the last of my three-part return […]

Our Inspiration

“All things are difficult before they are easy.” – John Norley  In contemplating what to write about this week for the Desk of Brad, I was thinking back a few years and I recalled a three-part series I’d written back in 2012 called Our inspiration, our values, our mission.  It’s always good to revisit such things from […]
