Garret goes to Exit10

I totally forgot about this thing. Hey, I'm over at Exit10 now.

Another Quick Update

Hi all,

Things are still going really well over at The Sutter Group, the marketing firm based in Lanham, Maryland that I've been with for nearly a year. I'm really enjoying working there as marketing director, and am still blogging at sutter-group.com (or http://www.sutter-group.com/blog for a direct link).

I wanted to also let you know that I'm writing over at Examiner.com as a National correspondent for automotive marketing. There I cover all aspects of automotive marketing such as advertising campaigns, social media efforts, events, unveilings, e-learning and web-based training, interactive and more.

Please feel free to follow me there and join in on the conversation! Here's the LINK.

My New Home

Hi folks - It has been a while since I've updated, but I've been way busy with my new gig. Rather than keep two blogs, I've been focusing on keeping the main one over at my work going strong.

For those of you that don't know, I started in January with a Maryland-based communications design firm called The Sutter Group. I'm really happy to be with the company both because they do quite a lot of work in the automotive industry, but also because they are on the cutting edge of interactive technologies. We still do traditional advertising and a great deal of brand development and identity design, but much of our clients' budgets have been focused on the digital medium.

You can feel free to check them out at http://www.sutter-group.com and follow them on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/suttergroup. Or you can stop by - we're only minutes outside of Washington, DC.

AND OF COURSE, please check out the blog I keep over at http://www.sutter-group.com/blog.

Thanks,

Garret Ohm

Blogging Education...

Lately I've been getting a great education on different blogging tools. I started with a blog for my previous agency, then established my own personal account both here on blogger. Then, when I joined Orange Element, I started a blog on Squarespace.

Well, Squarespace hasn't been working out because it doesn't seem to perform well in search--and search is crucial for us as a design and visual communications firm that needs to be able to be found by qualified prospects.

So, now I'm working on a version of Wordpress.org for Orange Element, which you can find here: www.orange-blog.com. It's still in development and we're working on getting the bugs out, but I invite you to go check it out if you're reading this....

More later!

Catching Up

Hi all - Just checkin' in.

Have you been following me on Orange Element's blog lately? If not, you should be - I think it's shaping up to be a pretty good one. We cover all types of things - fun shop stuff, design and communications news, insights, from Maryland and beyond.

I'm just sitting here watching American Idol Gives Back - a pretty amazing show. Although my wife and I give to a bunch of charities (and the homeless in Baltimore City), we were definitely compelled to give. I hope you'll do the same. All you have to do is click: http://www.americanidol.com/idolgivesback/howtodonate/.

I'm really excited because tomorrow is the Advertising Association of Baltimore's Addy Awards show. It's where the best and brightest of the Maryland advertising / design / communications / marketing come together to celebrate great work. Orange Element is slated to receive 5 awards tomorrow. I'll post an update on Friday on Orange Element's blog. Check it out then.

Oh, and have you been following me on Twitter? It's a great new social media tool that is a microblog of sorts. It's really quick (less than 140 characters) updates that let everyone know "what's up." You can find my Twitter site here: http://twitter.com/GarretOhm

Oh, and here's a great picture of my dog:
