Is your business trying to connect with pro-sumers and interested in seeing how others accomplish this hurdle? D²Cincinnati is the first marketing conference focused on customer centricity.
I just found out about a digital conference coming up in two weeks and since it seems like half the people I know are in this line of business directly or in a support role I thought they'd be interested in joining the digital dialogue with hundreds of Cincinnati’s leading digital marketers. Discover how brands like Macy’s, Facebook, dunnhumbyUSA, and Procter & Gamble make meaningful digital connections with consumers that build long-term brand loyalty.

Why do you need to be there?

The digital industry is a huge driver of economic growth in the city of Cincinnati. Marketing, branding, PR, startups, and all things digital are part of Cincinnati's unique business and cultural ecosystem.

D²Cincinnati will bring together 400 of the industry's leading marketers from companies based here and elsewhere, from Macy's, dunnhumbyUSA and Procter & Gamble to facebook.

Why do these businesses have such loyal customers? Putting the customer at the center of marketing is always a winner, and Cincinnati is smart enough to know this. These are businesses acting like humans, cultivating digitally connected customers like you, to find out what you want and give it to you.

If you want the D²Cincinnati Digital Conference to help your company I have a friends of 5chw4r7z 10% discount for you to use.
The code is D210, click here to register now.

grass skirts and ice cream in Columbus

You go to Columbus there is no way you're not going to Jeni's. You just have to.

tweet, instagram or eat ice cream? life's too hard sometimes

We also got turned on the this cool little place, The Grass Skirt Tiki Room. Doesn't look like much from outside but once your eyes adjust inside, its a tiny slice of Hawaii in Ohio. Now this is drinking, I could never find a mixed drink I liked so finally had to admit to myself that I didn't like cocktails and just gave up on them. Who knew the whole problem was finding the right style cocktail? These tropical themed drinks were hitting the spot. Next time you're in CBusgive the Grass Skirt Tiki Room a shot.

Qualls 2013

Did you see the story last week in the local paper talking about people attacking Roxanne's opponent in the comments? And then whoever manages his campaign's facebook account tried fighting back?
It was comical. Hasn't anyone told these guys you don't feed the trolls?
They were defending their job creation position. never mind that Roxanne's opponent wants to eliminate a city department with good wages and benefits and replace them with jobs providing poverty level wages. To eliminate poverty.
To cynics it could look like a plan to shift city money to businesses that support Cranley and his anti-city supporters. Most of whom aren't located in the city. Yeah, think about that, Cranley's biggest donors are not located in the city. Who is he going to be looking out for if by some miracle he gets elected? It won't be the residents or businesses of Cincinnati.

OK, you're going to say as a downtown resident I have vested interest in seeing Roxanne elected. Damn right I do, from what I've seen so far Cranley's main goal as mayor is to put a f#@king end to everything I think is cool in Cincinnati.

If you feel the same way, there will be a fundraiser for Roxanne this Thursday at El Coyote 41 East Sixth Street. You can find more information here.
Meanwhile, Quimbob posted a video that is so over the top it had me laughing. But its not any more over the top than Cranley's own commercials.

missing Paris

Paris is known for many things, many wonderful amazing things. But the one thing I always think about when I think Paris is the amazing streetart. I don't see the same amount and style of amazing streetart in the U.S. like I do there.
Over the weekend in Columbus we hit a Latin grill on N. Pearl and I was gobsmacked to find the entire length of one block covered in this incredible art, I thought instantly of Paris, the only other spot I'm seen this style of art.

Spring Grove Cemetery

The Urban Basin Bicycle Club weekly bike ride, its like sharknado, except with bikes.
Maybe, but we chewed up some tires on this ride. And some amazing scenery including parts of the Spring Grove Cemetery.
First things first, burrito priority.

spandex? there's no spandex on the urban bike ride
