Changes for the New Year

2009 was a very good year for the consultancy I co-founded, threebrick. To best prepare for 2010, we made some tough but exciting decisions to better serve interactive in the southeastern U.S.

I left threebrick to start a separate consultancy focused on content strategy called Content Science. While I enjoyed offering content strategy along with other services, I discovered that content strategy’s complexity merits a consultancy all its own.

Matt moved to Austin to better care for an elderly family member and, with the move, decided not to continue his partner responsibilities. He has taken a lead design role with the social commerce company, Bazaar Voice.

Darnell is narrowing the focus of threebrick to technology products and services, specializing in mobile and speech technology. A consultancy sharply focused on emerging technology will serve the Southeast well.

If you’ve owned your own business, you know that big changes after a good first year are normal. I thank Matt and Darnell for striving to make the best decisions possible for 2010.

Here’s to a GREAT new year!
