Thrice DAMed and fit to be cloned!
Earlier this morning, three of Digital Always Media’s brain-trust were named on the list.
Myself, Alan K’necht and Michelle Stintson Ross have been honoured by being included on a list of exceptional Internet marketers from the SEO, social, paid-search, and online video sectors.
Digital Always Media is especially humbled by the fact the list was complied by Founder and Evangelist, Marty Weintraub, a person all three of us consider THE best online marketer in the business. Furthermore, we’re included amongst 40 of the nicest, most giving, and bravest personalities in the digital marketing space. Seeing our names among theirs is more than an honour, it is sweet and it is humbling. It is also an important reminder.
There is one very special thing each name on Marty’s list has in common. Each of us has, at one time or another, dedicated part of our work to the betterment of the search/social and Internet environments. Building a better Web beyond the doors of our own businesses is important to each of us. Every person on this list shares enormous amounts of information freely through writing, broadcasting, and/or participating in community forums. For the people mentioned on this list, service is something that goes beyond customers and clients. It’s about community and is, in fact, a way of life.
That’s why being named on such a list is a reminder. Rather like the “” socially and environmentally conscious businesses try to follow, it’s important to recall a guiding principle in working with such a powerful medium, “always strive to make this a better and clearer place”. The people Marty selected for this list try to do just that and I think that is an accurate reflection of the fellow who compiled the list in the first place.
Thank you Marty. Being complimented by the likes of you is truly a tremendous compliment indeed.
