Yvonne DiVita: Author, Marketer and Publisher of Two Blogs, Lip-Sticking and A-ha!

February 27th, 2006

I’ve never met Yvonne DiVita, but I feel like I’ve known her for a long, long time.

Thank You, Blogosphere

February 24th, 2006

Earlier in the week, I posted here on A New Marketing Commentator what I called “my career imperative, my own personal brand mantra, my clarion call to any potential employer who will listen and accede to my dream of a new and even better way of doing my work.”
