Recently, I had the opportunity to present on Visual content marketing over at the MNSearch monthly event as their featured monthly guest speaker, and it was awesome. What a great group of digital marketers they got there (Thanks to all who braved the weather and came out). Props to my friend Lee Odden for coming […]
