Give Me a Name Contest

[ 10 ] July 12, 2012 |

name-badgeI’m launching a communications & social media firm. I am struggling coming up with a decent name. I don’t want my last name in it, and everything else I come up with is either lame (according to my wife) or taken. We can make this into a contest. If you suggest a name, and I use it if you’re local I’ll take you out to lunch. If not I’ll send you a gift card to your favorite restaurant (don’t think lobster folks, I’m coming from the non-profit world).

Some information to help get you started.

Who do I plan to serve?  Mainly non-profits – 501(c)3 (political or non-political) and 501(c)4 organizations, PACs, campaigns.  I’m open to helping businesses as well, but I’ve been in the non-profit world for 20 years so that’s my niche.

What services do I intend on providing?

  • Social media strategy and audit
  • Social media and blogging training
  • Writing and distributing press releases.
  • Blog/Website set-up and content management.
  • Search Engine Optimization
  • Media relations
  • Social media account set-up and management

Geographic focus?  I live in Iowa, but I can work with clients anywhere provided they’re ok with contracting with somebody not local.
