    This long weekend is all about cycling here in Santa Rosa.  Courthouse Square is host Saturday’s Rose Parade which starts at 10am.  The theme this year is ‘rose pedals’ which combines the traditional rose theme with a celebration of bicycles, just in time for Monday’s AMGEN Tour of California stop in Santa Rosa (which just so happens to be the home of Levi Leipheimer, the winner of the last 3 tours).  

    I am working with the Courthouse Square Merchant Association with social media, helping with @CourthouseSq on Twitter and their Facebook Page, Courthouse Square in downtown Santa Rosa.

    Courthouse Square shops decided that they wanted to show their support for the tour by decorating their storefront windows with bicycles donated by the Trek store in Santa Rosa.  To make it into a competition, Trek donated a gift certificate as a prize for the best display.  Sift: A Cupcakery also donated a dozen cupcakes to the winner.  

    This is where we need you guys, the Facebook Fans!  Each store thinks their storefront is the best, so we need you to vote for your favorite one! 

    Please visit our Courthouse Square AMGEN Tour Photo Album and click LIKE on the picture of your favorite display.   There is a glare from the sun hitting the windows, so I encourage you to come visit downtown to see the display’s in person.

    The image with the most ‘likes’ will win. 

    To make this even more fun, we will be giving away a dozen cupcakes to one random Facebook fan who participates!   Winners will be announced on Monday, so make sure to vote right away!!

    Thanks!

    It is official. Philip Wyers and I have an office. 25 Old Courthouse Square, Suite #8, Santa Rosa 95404 is the address and the inspiration for the name of our new venture - 25 Digital Media.

    Some say that they do not believe in fate.  But me glancing over the Craigslist section for housing in Downtown Santa Rosa randomly while drinking tea and working from Peet's Coffee and coming across the listing for this office couldn't have any other explanation.  I just happened to come across the listing for an office in downtown Santa Rosa and mention it to Philip, almost jokingly.  He loved the idea and met me downtown to go take a look. 

    As soon as we saw the outside, we knew that it would be the perfect opportunity for each of us to take our businesses to the next level….

    Okay, many who are reading this know that I consult with businesses on social media marketing, run Congresswoman Woolsey’s online efforts and basically promote Sonoma County on a daily basis.  What you might not know is that Philip Wyers has been my rock over this past year.  He is a web designer, e-commerce manager and email marketing guy (yes, he designed BreathSocialMedia.com) and the person who has kept me sane over this crazy world-wind of a year.

    So here we are, just moving into the office.  We currently have no internet connection or chairs, but we do have two desks and a sign that says “Happy Hour” which we decided was going to be our motto: @25digitalmedia, because everyone needs another reason to go to Happy Hour.  I think it is fitting because of my obsession with happy hour food and cocktails and Philip’s obsession with a great deal.

    So, watch out for more to come from us….. And, if you ever need another reason to go to Happy Hour or discuss online promotions, you know where we are.
