Refresh Creative--humor and success--part 2.

Bryan and Jenny Grigsby, @RefreshCreate

Quit your jobs, start out on your own, in an area that's not your college major?

"Trail Boss" and "Content Curmudgeon," @RefreshCreate

Why not? @RefreshCreate, Jenny and Bryan Grigsby have done that, running social media for 11-12 clients, mostly restaurants, like Hideaway. It's all been word of mouth references also...they haven't had to advertise. 

They work from home, and their advice to #clarkclass was punctuated with humor and practical advice.

After they left, we debrief, which is apparently turning into a contest, as @Yolexiswade Alexis Wade tweeted a photo--"Clash of the Titans." 

Judging by the smiles, we must be having fun, which means learning.

Debriefing again recorded by @MadisonSturgill. 

• The art of this job is bouncing off of each other to create content
• Human interaction is very important
• Being a part of a team
• Must maintain thick skin when receiving criticism
• Improve is super important to have as a skill
• Where ever you go, meet people
• Identify the tone and voice of your clients
• It’s just one big tangled mess
• Posting is just barely the tip of the iceberg
• Humor and personality in the job
• If you’re not connected to the people, you aren’t connected to their business
• Don’t take everything on twitter so seriously
• There’s no such thing as a typical day
• You can go into your day thinking things will go one thing but they never do
• They don’t promote themselves
• They really enjoy their jobs – no matter the money
• Humor is great but don’t let it go too far
• You will run into obstacles that you don’t normally see
• They had to figure out how and what to respond to different posts
• Develop your social media page like a character

Refresh Create--Trail boss and Content curmudgeon

@RefreshCreate visited #clarkclass last week--meaning Jenny and Bryan Grigsby, bringing experience and humor  from people who branched out from theater degrees and other jobs in PR and teaching at UCO to their own social media company.
They have about 11-12 clients, mostly restaurants, including Hideaway and Oak and Oar, but stay in the background, and work from home.
After they left, we debriefed, but I first noticed the title on Bryan's business card--"Content Curmudgeon." I'd forgotten about Jenny's, "Trail Boss."
So in that vein, for the education of the class, here is a salute to Rawhide.

Clint Eastwood as Rowdy Yates, Eric Fleming as Gil Favor, "Trail boss."

Mike Sherman's twitter page

@okieprof
Ask Mike Sherman a question about twitter and @MikeSherman answers by telling stories, stories about people and sports.
Mike, a graduate of our UCO journalism program in the 1980s is now sports editor of the Tampa Bay Times, after holding the same position at our student newspaper, The Vista, and The Oklahoman.
He's an earlier adopter of twitter and considers it essential to covering sports, or anything else for that matter, for a newspaper.

Class member Ryan Dunn's pix and tweet and question.
I bet it won't be 10 years.

He's also an earlier adopter of the twitter for media class when it was first offered in December, 2014...12 versions ago.
Technology met technology as we "Skyped" him in for the second time. He in his newsroom, while watching people in flip flops and shorts outside in Florida, while we shivered with freezing temperatures outside.
The stories he tells are punctuated with specific dates and people of games that long ago, so as a journalist he's a model of how to use twitter professionally.
After the session, we debriefed, and her are some student comments, including a few from four years ago, dutifully recorded by @MadisonSturgill.

• He’s hired people he found on twitter, checking their work
• A storyteller, one for every point
• Talked about “Mr. Unreliable”
• Worked for The Oklahoman for almost 30 years
• He’s not going to hire someone without a twitter presence
• Twitter isn’t the only place to use but it’s a heck of a start
• Can’t live without twitter
• All news is “breaking” these days
• Views himself as a friend of the readers
• Our classes have changed the curriculum at UCO
• Even though everyone wants to get paid it’s a compliment when someone is interested in your work
• Goes to different writers to increase his traffic
• How you conduct yourself on twitter shows how you are as a person
• Try not to use absolutes on twitter
• He uses twitter as a phonebook (found a vet for his old yellow lab)
• Finding out what’s important. That’s how you use twitter
• Watches the game while using twitter at work
• Cautioned us about the negative side of twitter and to be careful
• Be an early adopter. It opens up new ideas
• Twitter can be “all bad and a bag of chips” but it can also be good
•  You have to distribute your own content
• You're your own paperboy
• Liked the “What’s the Headline” and the use of reader involvement
• Staying connected and getting connected is important
• Conversation is the most important technological medium
• Twitter is one of the greatest listening devices of all time and one of the greatest search engines
• After "Mr. Unreliable," he went on twitter and asked the public what ideas were for headlines, admitting they were wrong to lighten the mood about the situation
• The paper is a way of answering questions for the people that can’t ask them themselves
