BlogCampaigning: Movin’ On Up

Congrats to a few members of the BlogCampaigning crew: The official notice of Heather Morrison’s new position at Sequentia Environics went out (over the newswire, no less) last week, saying that she’ll “supervise the daily operations and performances of client service teams.” A good move indeed; Sequentia is  a digital communications firm that “focuses on the [...]

For many senior-level executives, losing control is their biggest fear.  This shouldn’t come as a big surprise, as their ability to control people, situations, and outcomes is how they landed the top job in the first place.

Virtual Worlds: Hype or Here to Stay?

For the last little while my interest in virtual worlds has been growing.  Having spent countless hours playing games like The Sims when I was younger, I can easily understand their appeal on a gaming and entertainment level.
