Resolutions come and go as quickly as the ball dropping in Time Square. But here at Kinesis, we are determined to keep ours. And what is our 2012 resolution? To blog. To write, share, post, and discuss relevant and exciting marketing insight to help you build your business and better your company.

To make it stick, we are making our resolution public so that you can hold us accountable. That’s part of it, right? We are excited to keep up the momentum throughout the year and provide you with the information you are looking for. Tell us what you’d like to see – we are all ears when it comes to your questions, concerns, and ideas, so keep on sharing.

Our 2012 Resolutions

What are your resolutions this year? Here are our staff resolutions for your enjoyment and our accountability:

• Wendy: “Run 2 miles at least 3 times per week.”
• Jade: “Learn something interesting, useful, and extremely nerdy.”
• Shawn: “Grow! And, as part of that - find a new, inspiring, and creative space that our business can call ‘home’ for the next 3 years.”
• Alison: “To get to know YOU: the friends, fans, readers, and clients of Kinesis.”
