CC
Sounds great. Clearly none of this stuff can work in isolation. Everything from content, to branding, to social, to search to reputation management and the programs that bring it all to life need to work together. Every agency is world is working toward convergence. And though we may compete in different ways, the new models help us and our clients all get better. Good luck. Look forward to getting together in person next month.

Wow C.C.!

Such a surprise, but when I think more about it, not a surprise at all! Your trajectory has always been “onward and upward”, and I see this as kicking into yet another stage that will take you to ever higher places. Go! Go! Go!

Blessings, my friend.

I wanted to thank everyone for taking the time to share their congrats. I’m very excited about the future and working together.

It was NOT easy to give up a company I helped create, but I truly see this as the next step on a very fun journey I’ve been on for a while and I can’t wait to see all the fun and mayhem we get to do together.

CONGRATULATIONS! “Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan “press on” has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race” – Calvin Coolidge quotes (American 30th President of the United States, 1872-1933)

When I saw your post pass through Twitter I had to do a double-take.
Such incredible and exciting news! Given that you have had a working relationship with them for many projects, its exciting to see how this expands on what you can do for your clients. I especially love Michael Monello’s quote in the press release. I think it says it all.
While you are still a partner, I know that the idea must have caused a considerable amount of stress. Selling the company you have put so much of your heart into. Sounds like an excellent decision.
I’m excited to see what you and Campfire have in store! Congrats again!

I wanted to quote some “campfire” phrase that would seem pithy and hip… but all I could thing of was “always bury your embers”. That isn’t going to work. Um… pass the marshmallows?

Hey buddy,
Not sure where to begin. Congratulations seems like a good start though.

Next time you’re out here on the West coast, I have several beers with your name on them. Until then, we’ll raise a pint for you from afar and wish you the very best of luck.

Cheers!
