Fast Growing Marketing Firm Acquires Word Sell
Exciting news. Effective today, I am Director of Content Marketing for Straight North, a Chicago area interactive marketing agency that I’ve known for quite a long time.
Straight North provides a full range of traditional and digital marketing services. Besides being very good at what they do, the people here are tremendous, and I’m thrilled to be part of the team. I’ll be managing content development and social media marketing programs, and if the first few hours are any indication – I’ll be quite busy!
As part of this transition, Straight North has acquired Word Sell, Inc. I’m happy to report that this blog will continue, with more emphasis than ever on social media and content strategy. We will be making some branding and design changes to the blog, but please do continue visiting, reading, and sharing ideas.
More about all this to come!
Cheers – Brad

I took a quick look at the Straight North website, and can see what a good partnership is in store for you both. I’m so happy for you, and for us, that we can look forward to your blogging continuing here as well, and with the added context Straight North will bring to your mix. Your voice has been strong, generous and effective, and no surprise to me that your talents and Word Sell, Inc. equity have been recognized in this way.
Hi All, thank you so very much for the kind words. It’s been so fulfilling getting to know everyone in the blogging community – a constant source of inspiration. Rosa, you put your finger on a key issue as usual. Being able to dive into this new work and be able to keep blogging here – truly the best of both worlds!
Congratulations, Brad. Sounds like a great deal for you and Straight North. And, as others have said, I’m delighted you will continue to blog here. I wish you all the best in this new adventure.
Congrats Brad! This is totally awesome and it looks like you are completely pumped, locked and loaded and ready to rock it! I am SO excited for you and really envy all the great folks who will be working beside you…”Get ready for the fun zone people!”
Great stuff, Brad! Congratulations.
I can certainly see why WordSell is a good fit for Strategic North (and vice-versa), particularly given their emphasis on ‘growth minded, middle-market companies’ and how they are comprised of ‘experienced entrepreneurs, business strategists, creative artists and path-blazing technologists’.
And whilst excitement about the future is no doubt your focus right now, I must also congratulate you on your success in what you have achieved through WordSell over the past four years.
Like others have said, I’m glad to see that this blog will continue, and I look forward to seeing how it evolves.
Hi Lille, Andrew – Thank you for your kind words and your interest in my blog over the years. You’ve made the whole experience a joy, and I, too, am glad that will continue!
