Back from a snowed-up Kentucky

We *are* going west, are we not?

I rolled back into town this Sunday and I had to wonder … being an East Coast kinda gal, I simply had no clue Kentucky would be the Winter Wonderland it was! And driving out there on Friday … the snow blizzards I ran into near Wheeling, West Virginia made me wonder if we were, in fact, in Wheeling or more like Anchorage, Alaska.

made it in one (frozen) piece

The good, very good news is that I made it to the National Academy of Television Arts & Science (NATAS) Ohio Emmys in Hebron, Kentucky very safely; cold but safe and in once piece. Much of my body-intact-condition can be attributed to a wonderful chauffer, my husband. Without him, I’m not sure I could have made the long drive with out his good company, companionship and awesome in-the-snow driving skills (thanks, honey).

presentation was almost perfection

So I have to tell you … my speaking event for members of the NATAS Ohio Valley Chapter went very smoothly. It was a hit in fact. I say that not because I’m all that and a bag of chips (well, maybe :] ) … I say that because the attendees were very interested in the topic: The Digital Marketing Frontier.

The attendees were engaged and asked many questions, and the feedback I received post the event was positive. I am convinced the audience was and is very much interested in making the digital marketing space work for their local newsrooms and television stations.

coming up…

I will be posting the presentation on this blog shortly, along with all my notes but for now, just wanted to check back in, say hi and let you know I was thinking about you marketing misfit readers, hoping all is well in your world, too.

Also working hot and heavy on my e-mail newsletter … lots of good stuff to share underway.

Stay tuned…

P.S. I had the opportunity to meet some really amazing, good people on this trip. By far, it was a great way to conclude my January 2009.
