Back in September of 2013, we welcomed Dechay Watts (oh, that's pronounced Da-Shay) to the show via Skype. She woke a lot of us up to how the conversations were happening on line and that we needed to adapt, and quickly. The word of the day was to 'humanize' your content marketing. Avoid talking at your customers and engage them in a conversational manner. You create brand advocates this way.

On September 30, (yes, exactly a year later) we are excited to introduce Dechay back to the show! Dechay is a clear thought leader in her field and has an extremely calm and clear communication style that we enjoy hearing on our show.

Our topic this month is the Evolution of Web Engagement. It's just another buzzword made up by the industry to try to reinvent the wheel. It's the same as customer engagement, customer experience, web experience, yadda yadda. Whatever we're calling it this week, we know that Dechay will help guide us towards how our customers expect to be spoken to and engaged online. Please join us!
