Thinkabout... Presentation

When you thinkabout presentation, what comes to mind?

Long, boring, unproductive... the dreaded powerpoint?

Gone are the days of firing off copy-heavy bullet points and the regurgitative read-along that inevitably follows. We challenge you to thinkabout fresh ways to make your point and make it stick – presentations that encourage participating, not sleeping. And no, this doesn't require smoke, mirrors, dogs or ponies. Just a straightforward message with engaging, supportive visuals that connect with your audience.

New chefs

mike and i would like to officially welcome our two newest faces at mindsalt.

ashley revlett. our resident web designer and self-proclaimed youngest person in the group. ashley joins us after several years of freelance and attending school at the University of Louisville.

ashley has picked up many a spilled plate for clients and comes out on top each time. we value what she has done in these first few months.

ashley can be found on facebook, the local coffee shop, listening to a new band that comes to town or relaxing on her couch dreaming of code.

the second newbee is josh beatty. we first met josh at doe-anderson (somehow which becomes our 2 degrees of separation). josh curageously left doe to pursue his own company greener way, which he still manages and runs today. strategic planning and new business are his strengths, but resident barista and smart-ass are close seconds.

thanks to you both for helping push mindsalt to the next level.

Role reversal

It's not easy being account manager in any size firm.  It is a delicate balancing act of client approval and expectation management mixed with in-house loyalty and honesty.  In other words, account managers work all day not to tick anyone off.

Recently, however, I went from account manager to client here at Mindsalt with my suddenly booming side gig -- Little Treasures Kid's Sale.  We needed re-branding from top to bottom and of course, I trusted no one but Mindsalt.  You must understand that I am a PR person here, but Little Treasures is my baby.  We've grown this business from as small and insignificant as you can imagine to now regionally recognized and drawing people in from 4 states.  

So that being said, I now have a much greater appreciation for what it's like to be in the client seat.  We have to trust branding professionals, designers and the like with truly knowing our business from the inside-out so that it can be captured across all mediums.  

I'll have to say, I'm 100% satisfied with my client experience at Mindsalt.  It was somewhat difficult to muster up the courage to ask my employee for some tweaks here and there (as the client).  But in the end, we were all happy with the result...designers, client (me) and account manager (me).  Check it out:  www.littletreasuressale.com.  Response to the new brand is excellent.
