At some point in time over a year of working projects together, 3 ladies figured that 3 brains were better than one!
- http://lab3marketing.com Lisa Demmi
  
  You are very right, Paul! That and some wine was probably in the mix there too!
http://www.compasspointz,com Karen

A year and a half ago at the Centre Club in Tampa, three women walked into a room with 100 other attendees. All three were there for different reasons; to network, to support a friend, and to promote a client. Little did they know that this date would forever change their lives and the future of marketing.
- http://www.cusucceed.organogold.com Carole Garrett
  
  What an awesome beginning. And they worked happily ever after . . .
- http://lab3marketing.com Lisa Demmi
  
  Close but Paul beat you to it, Karen!
Paul

Wine always helps the creative process, like having a glass of wine while cooking!
- http://lab3marketing.com Lisa Demmi
  
  Yes, it does~

A year and a half ago at the Centre Club in Tampa, three women walked into a room with 100 other attendees. All three were there for different reasons; to network, to support a friend, and to promote a client. Little did they know that this date would forever change their lives and the future of marketing.

These ladies are Lisa Demmi of Cake Marketing Mechanics, Loran Tripp of Latitude 27 Marketing and Corina Sheridan of Intelligent Targeting. Over the next year they worked together on a number of projects helping to market and brand their clients through the cooperative they set up. After a point in time it became clear that three brains were better than one and so Lab3 Marketing was born.

Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add to my
blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates.

I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.
- http://lab3marketing.com Lisa Demmi
  
  Since twitter changed its API, nothing has been added to low you to do so. The only thing we could come up with in the Lab was to set up an RSS feed to auto post to your Facebook page and connect that with your Twitter feed. Hope that helps!
