Coach Darin: How to apply brand ambassadors to your business

User-generated content (UGC) is an increasingly trendy approach to marketing that can wield some remarkable results. UGC refers to content, usually, social media posts that feature messaging, images, videos, or product reviews created by individual users or special endorsers often referred to as brand ambassadors.

A program that helps employers hire non-U.S. citizens for their businesses is now being coordinated by the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG).

Dishing Out on Oscar Noms + A Tribute to Norman Jewison

Tuesday morning saw the Motion Picture Academy’s annual awards nomination announcement. We know it as the Oscars, and as previously published, when the gold season comes, people watch.
