We all know companies that change their name.  I would venture to say most of the time it’s probably to avoid negative press or something along those lines (i.e. Ameriprise).  That’s what makes Catie Foertsch even more special.  I think it’s great when you see businesses evolving for their customers.  Catie took a business she knows and loves, making and editing videos, and she expanded on it.  She did this for her customers.  She listened and learned from the people she was working with that what they needed the most was not necessarily the video itself but rather how to use the video most effectively.  Now I can never tell you about what she does as well as Catie can but what I can tell you is if you have any questions about videos, video marketing or the use of videos in social media, Catie and Yes! Media Works is a great place to start.  Look for Catie Foertsch on Twitter.  Look for Catie Foertsch on LinkedIn.  Check out her redesigned website of Yes! Media Works.  Read her Video-Based Media Blog.  Or just say hello.

It is very rare when you can find someone who enjoys, no loves, helping other people with their business.  Caite is one of those people.  She is very good at adding insight to any question you might have.  Do you know anyone like that?  How have they helped you?  Have you asked them?  I know I would…

In the comments feel free to post some of the most helpful people you’ve met.  I’m sure others would love to meet them.

His new post is “Smart Networking and the Art of the Ask” by Liz Lynch.

I had to post on this blog post because it rings so true.  It is not enough just to build a network around you in order to be successful but you must learn how to use it.  There are some great points in this blog that really set the stage to make you more comfortable asking.  The most successful people you know do this and excel at it.  Ask them how.  Read the first part of the blog.  People will help.
