RYAN RAWLINGS worked in Raleigh. Say that several times quickly and you have a lovely verbal workout. But you don’t have the facts. You do have the name of the Marketing Brand Manager at Austin’s KVUE. But he was working in Charlotte, not Raleigh, before hitting the Texas capital. He was promoing at WCNC, NBC in the Queen City, not WNCN in the North Carolina capital. Yah, it’s a tad bit confusing, but readers of this particular blog (hate that moniker) are smarter than the average…as well as wittier, cleverer, more artistic, better read, more open-minded and more attractive. Ryan is answering to Director of Marketing and Digital, COLLEEN HARTMAN, who in turn answers to former Creative now GM KRISTIE GONZALEZ. Kristie, btw, is one super communicator. All in he Tegna family, so there you go…Well Dunne.

Are you feeling the need to make the world better? Count your blessings? Then think about clicking this link and learning about someone who is brave beyond measure. Brendon is the grandson of the multi-talented marketing pro (and my friend and co-conspirator) ED ROTH. Brendon is dealing with cancer, and he could use all the good thoughts, healing ideas, prayers and love we can share. So click here….and see The Power of Love. Then reach out and show this sweet little boy he’s our hero. Thanks to BuzzFeed for this.
