What We’ve Been Up To

by Quinlan & Company

We know we’ve been quiet on the social media front lately, but we promise there’s a good reason behind it! Here’s a little glimpse at what we’ve been up to lately: A lot of work…   …and a little play. Stay tuned for more!

Back to School

by Quinlan & Company

It’s that time of year again! The clothing stores are transitioning to fall lines, grocery stores are depressing us with Halloween candy, and almost every kid you know is either cramming to finish their summer reading or getting ready to move into college, while their brains prepare to soak up as much new information as [...]

Setting Social Boundaries

by Quinlan & Company

Remember back in the day, before social media, when we knew of someone but didn’t really know them? Or when you didn’t have to worry of what your boss/co-workers/clients would think if they found out about your crazy college days? Today, it’s extremely difficult to define relationships. We know so many more people, without ever [...]

All You Need is Love

by Quinlan & Company

Love is tricky. We know it’s within us, but no one has really ever been able to describe what love is. Applying this love thing to brands is even trickier. Why do we love something that can’t even love us back?  It all ties into a concept called “imprinting” that plays a part in this [...]

Big Week for Social Media

by Quinlan & Company

There comes a point when we wonder how many more changes our technical and digital world can make.

Image via Wikipedia (PD-US) You all know the story of David vs. Goliath, right?

SEO | Creating Content to Boost Search Engine Optimization

by Quinlan & Company

Perform regular searches of your brand to see where you rank! Social media specialists, content builders, and “gurus” (please don’t call yourself a guru) are, for the most part, complete word nerds. They know how to format a sentence in the proper structure based on who is reading it and where they are reading it [...]

Sites vs. Experiences

by Quinlan & Company

Brittany Davies, Quinlan & Company Intern As a young college student and consumer who grew up on Internet and cable television, it takes something really interesting and very relatable to catch my eye.

Are You Socially Smart?

by Quinlan & Company

Samantha Griffith, Copywriter & Social Media Strategist As a young professional, especially as a young communications professional, I can’t help but notice social media “no-no’s” from my peers.
