Houston, We Have Lift Off!

The countdown to 5-10-10 has completed and the BIG DAY has officially arrived! Eric Bryant (that’s me) is now the acting full time Marketing Director of Core Zero Creative! Unbeknownst to many (archaic word alert!) in addition to my role at Core Zero as a WordPress Web Designer, Social Media Marketing Strategist & Trainer, and Internet Marketing Guy, I’ve also worked as an IT Specialist for the past 25 years managing corporate computer systems and networks. As millions turn to Web 2.0–the social web–as a means to promote their businesses, products, services, organizations, and causes, Core Zero’s steady growth has made it both possible and necessary for me to come aboard full time, leaving the IT field behind. This year companies will throw billions of dollars at engaging people in web-based conversations around their brands and causes, and getting people to friend, follow, link to and talk about them.

Having built my first commercial website in 1993 I’ve always been what I like to call artsy-techy. Computers weren’t much to write home about back then, but still, I was drawn to expressing my artistic side in the digital realm. Over the years I’ve worked on many marketing campaigns, creating posters, flyers, websites, and other media for many companies. As the artistic side went deeper with web design, the techy side picked up on topics like search engine optimization (SEO) and how to get websites ranked on the front pages of the search engines. By the time I had mastered SEO, social media had appeared on the scene, and in case you didn’t know, the social media conversation is only half the story–the other half of social media is actually all about getting to the top of the search engines… how convenient!

I love being in the social media conversation as well as analyzing it from the sidelines, collecting stats and data, and predicting and watching where all this is headed. There’s a lot more to having a web presence than putting up a website. At Core Zero Creative we’ll help you formulate and implement a branded comprehensive internet marketing plan including a website that you can manage and edit, and a winning social media marketing strategy to go with it. Not only that, we really like what we do and we’re wicked fun to work with!

Looking forward to serving you,

Eric Bryant
