Embracing The Season

Welcome to Monday and the start of a new week. It is a cold clear morning in Toronto with the anticipation of snow in the middle of the week. I generally hate winter but have decided to try to change my attitude and embrace the season. It may help so that I don’t spend the next 4 months dreaming of warm destinations. We’ll see how it goes.

Friday night we celebrated the beginning of the season with our annual C.J. Graphics Open House. Contrary to most of my conversations over the last few days this event was traditional social networking – live and face-to-face. It is always a great evening to renew old friendships, and meet socially with people we do business with throughout the year. To bring it forward with technology, pictures of the event can be seen at www.cjdigital.ca/facebook



In addition to being able to thank our clients and suppliers for their support throughout the year, we make the event a fundraiser for the Daily Bread Food Bank. I have not seen the final tallies but there was a tremendous amount of food brought and the live auction was a great success. Thank you to everyone who attended.

In response to my first blog posting I have been overwhelmed with articles to read and links to follow up on. For anyone interested in the business of new media, Lee sent me a great article on the rapid rise and fall of MySpace. I think it is worth noting that, with technology changing so quickly, keeping up with and integrating the latest technologies is critical to continued success.

Have a great day!

Cheers,
George
