Are you a business owner looking for creative and energetic solutions which represent your vision for your company?  Someone who can help you build your brand and implement outstanding public relation strategies too?

Vibrant Public Relations, LLC. is the answer.

My philosophy on public relations, is that a PR professional should be a counselor that initiates proactive, strategic and targeted communications with vibrant personality.

When you work with me, you have someone that can think in the box and out of it. I believe strongly that firm analysis and research sets you on the most creative and strategic path in any endeavor. That means getting to know my client, their audiences and their goals, and not losing sight of any of them.

The good folks at Mozilla released Thunderbird 2.0 a few weeks back, but we’ve been a little slow on upgrading all our computers. However, today is the day!

There are quite a few new features (advanced folder views, message tagging) and some updates to existing features (improved search, better junk mail filtering) that we are looking forward to playing around with.  If you haven’t tried Thunderbird yet, give it a whirl.  It’s free and in our opinion, far better than Outlook

One of the tools that has changed the way we do business here at Emtwo, is Basecamp.

We have started to use it for all our larger projects as well as maintenance contracts.  We love being able to easily communicate with our clients, share information, brainstorm, and meet milestones.  It’s inspired us in so many ways.  We feel more productive and in control of our business. 

In addition, it has made our billing hassle free because it now integrates with Freshbooks, which we have been using for billing for almost a year.  Since we started using Freshbooks we get paid faster and we spend less time billing and more time running our business.

There are so many different applications out there now that offer these types of services.  I’ve not found any that really match-up with Basecamp and Freshbooks.  That’s not to say one of them won’t in the future but for now, both Basecamp and Freshbooks work for our specific needs and we are more organized and productive because of them.

We shout from the rooftops about how much we love EE all the time.  But not only do we love EE, we also really love some of the great folks who create awesome modules for EE and than share them with the rest of us.

My absolute favorite module right this very second is Favorites!!  We’ll be launching a site shortly which is using this module.  It was the first time we incorporated it into a live site and it was really very straightforward to install and wonderful to work with.  The documentation was quite thorough and well, we just love it!  I want to figure out someway to use it on a site or two of our own. 

Thanks for this one, solspace!

I am sure that I have mentioned this somewhere along the line, but in case I haven’t, or for the newcomers, we are Mozilla users here at emtwo.  We use the Firefox browser and the Thunderbird mail application.  And we love both of them for too many reasons to list. 

One of my favorite things about about both of these applications is the ability to personally customize each one.  There are tons of extensions and plugins you can add-on.  Also, there are a ton of custom themes for both.  I like to change the themes every few months.  It makes me feel like my handy-dandy application is brand spanking new.  So, today I changed Thunderbird’s theme to Cross Over and Firefox to Baby Blue.

It’s the little things.
