State of Social Media: Getting the Picture at IBS 2015
By · Comments
I bet you still think that a picture is worth a thousand words! Well, that is a bit of an understatement with today’s highly visual online sites. Images, unlike text, are processed by your long-term memory. And, if that isn’t enough, images are proven to increase audience engagement! I hope you will join me as I present “The State of Social Media 2015: Getting the Picture” with Chad Davis, Senior Director, Online Services and Digital Media for NAHB at the International Builders’ Show (IBS) in Las Vegas.
We will present our session on Thursday, January 22, in the Tech Hub from 10 – 11 a.m.
Chad and I have covered a number of topics related to social media at trade shows over the past several years. From blog trends to pay to play on Facebook, The State of Social Media, has covered the latest and kept members of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) up to date. Read More→
VEGAS for My Birthday!
By · Comments
I’m packing my bags and heading to Las Vegas to celebrate my birthday for a week! I plan to ring in my birthday with Britney Spears, Wicked and maybe a little black jack. Well actually I’m going to Pubcon, the premier social media and search engine optimization conference. However, doesn’t’ it sound like more fun to say I’m that I’m spending the week partying for my annual 36th birthday party?
Pubcon, a Forbes must-attend conference and an Inc. top conference for growing your business, is one of the biggest international gatherings of SEO and social media innovators ever assembled. This will be the third year that the mRELEVANCE team has attended the conference.
I’ll be able to learn more about the trends in social media and SEO and am expecting to come home with valuable new ideas and solutions for our clients. The rest of the Vegas fun is just the icing on the (birthday) cake!

Ever Wondered Why 7s are Lucky?
By · Comments
There are seven cosmic stages, seven ancient and visible planets, seven Chakras in Indian culture, seven days in a week and seven colors in a rainbow. Pythagoreans called it the perfect number, the universe was created in seven days and in Chinese culture, the seventh day of the first moon of the lunar year celebrates the universal birthday of all human beings.
And if you’ll be in Vegas for the joint National Association of Home Builders International Builders Show (IBS) and National Kitchen and Bath Association’s Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS), sevens can be lucky if you pull three in a row on a slot machine. Seven has been my lucky number since I was a little girl, but seven is also a great number because it is the number of opportunities you will have to sit in on one of my programs at KBIS and IBS.
It will be a busy three days, but I am excited about the social media and marketing strategies, tips and ideas that my co-presenters and I will share in these presentations.
Tuesday, February 4:

The Marketing Relevance team was honored last week as HomeAid Atlanta’s Trade Partner of the Year. This came as a huge surprise to me. . . although apparently several members of my team knew about it in advance and did a great job of keeping it a secret!
Here is how they announced it!
Trade Partner of the Year
Next, I would like to present the award for the HomeAid Atlanta Trade Partner of the Year. This award is presented to an extraordinary non-builder partner that greatly assists HomeAid Atlanta.

It has been an award-winning month for the mRELEVANCE team! In addition to our six OBIE awards for work in Atlanta, we were also honored by the Home Builders Association of Greater Chicago with two SAMMY awards for marketing at the recent Key Awards banquet.
It is always nice to be honored for client work, as well as our own marketing campaigns. The awards we won in Chicago are:

Created to inform potential clients of the agency’s wide range of product offerings, the brochure features a fun accordion fold with information presented in a professional, conversational format.
