I’ve got a few more announcements to make about recent clients we’ve worked with here at Anubis Marketing. I love to brag - but moreso brag about my clients, than the work we’ve done! (You’ll see why when you see who they are!)

• Tina Dame-Zawisza - Tina’s one of the stars of the new hit reality show on ABC “The Ex-Wives Club” (her episode aired Monday, June 4th, 2007). Tina had us build her a site a while back when she was doing more of her modeling and acting work, and we decided it was time for a fresh new site because of the show.
• Lynn Jones - Lynn’s another wonderful lady I met because of Tina, who is also on the show (I’m not sure yet when her episode airs, but check out her site - I’m sure she’ll post it.)

I’ll be spending the latter half of this week at the FOOA Conference and with Darren Rowse at a meetup on Saturday night - all in Manhattan. I’ll try to post while I’m there, but conference trips are never predictable!

When: Saturday, June 9th, 7-10pm
Where: The “Speakeasy” at the Gin Room

How: Sponsored by the lovely folks at Chikita - free munchies, and free drink tickets for the first 100 people through the door!

This comes on the tail of the FOOA conference happening on Thursday and Friday, and if it’s anything like last time, should prove to be a great experience! (Plus, you have the potential to win a few door prizes if you bring along a business card!)

Please, PLEASE advertise this on your blog, even if you’re not from NY, not planning on attending, or what have you. I promised the folks at Eat Drink & Be Merry that I’d get them lots of blog traffic - so please help me to not let them down!!

That said, I’d love to see you there - please let me know if you plan to attend! (And head over to Darren’s to let him know as well!)

I’ve been working on settling on a location and fine-tuning the details, so the announcement will be made Monday or Tuesday. Darren’s going to be in town for the FOOA conference, so he wanted to set up another event and I’m proud to be a part of helping get us all together again!

If you missed the last one (my links: 1 2 / Darren’s recap: 1, this would be a great way to get in some double-duty on your trip to the city! Hit up the conference on Thursday and Friday, hang out the next day in the city, and then meet up with Darren and all the other “ProBlogger” friends and fans on Saturday night! It’s a win-win for sure!

More details on the PB meetup coming soon!!!

Well, we’ve been quite busy around here lately! So much so that I haven’t had time to sit down and write a decent post here, so this one’s just going to be a quick update of some of our recent projects.

• Saratoga Comedy Club - We did a complete overhaul on the site, building it back up from scratch using WordPress for the content management system. The site now offers full RSS feeds, so those who enjoy the club locally can get the news and updated schedule right to their feedreaders. It features a much more streamlined look, with less clutter than before. I’m really pleased with the way the site’s turned out, as are Jodi and Vinnie and their patrons to the club.
• Laugh and Heal - Brand spankin’ new site for comedian John Mulrooney. His old site was extremely outdated (For those of you who might understand this, it was built (and currently maintained) with FrontPage 3! I didn’t know any computers out there could still run that!) so we really needed to do a brand new site. There are a few tweaks still being made at this time, but for the most part, it’s exactly what John wanted, and his fans are already coming through to compliment it!
• Comedian Steve Adiletta - Steve Feels Funny - Steve wanted a site without too much “clutter”, a sort of “shiny” appearance, simple yet dramatic. I grabbed a theme I found at WordPress Themes and did some image tweaking and code editing to get it just right. Proof positive I can work with any budget and provide either tweaked themes or fully customized ones!
• Readings by Waterfal13 - Psychic offers a variety of readings via phone, IM, or email. She also needed a brand new site, as her other one gave her too many limitations and didn’t give the opportunity for flexibility or SEO. We’re now working on updating her content and doing some marketing work to get more traffic as well as provide a way for her to make some money by selling advertising on the site.
• Maurice Walker - Nashville Council At-Large - You might remember Moe from the first season of “The Biggest Loser”, but now he’s garnering for a seat on the Nashville City Council. Moe and I met a while back and when he decided to run, he came looking for a campaign website. The site’s still in progress, but it’s live.

So there you have it… there are a few more in the works right now, but we’re trying to focus more on the consulting and PR work we’re doing. We’re pretty busy on the design/SEO/marketing end, so if you’re interested, get in touch with us right away to book a spot on the schedule. If you’re looking for PR campaigns or on-site consulting, we’ve got a few spots open in the coming months, so act now!

Alright, so not only was last night just a great night because of the meetup, but afterward, Darren drew from 50+ business cards he received to establish winners for the prizes he set up.

Guess who won a copy of Six Figure Blogging? (Hint: I’ll give you three guesses, and the first two are for the other two winners.)

Many many thanks again, Darren - You’ve done so much for people, and it’s truly an honor to have met you. I can’t wait to get my copy and get into it. I’ll have to post some reviews for sure!
