Steele and I had just completed a few hours of consulting with a local business owner regarding brand activation remedies to grow ROI within 6 months. "Thirty minutes, and still no hoagies?" "How long can this possibly take?" he whi

By Lydya Blu, April 18, 2026 So here’s what typically occurs online: We scroll through 300 feet of content daily https://tinyurl.com/rrm4v6ty I couldn’t imagine that I would do that, except that I often find myself researching a topic (and multiple sub-topics!) for hours every week. So, 300 feet of scrolling? Yes, easily. And those digital ads? Well, I honestly can’t bear sitting through the long ones, it’s just too much information. I prefer short digital ads that get straig
