full throttle/sunsetWhat a wild last 60 days. Holidays, fun family get togethers and real cold weather. Whew!

Now it’s throttle time. All teams are prepped — we’re pushing the pedal to the medal. Production departments are rolling, sales personnel are on the streets and administrative executives are planning the next project while keeping tabs on existing numbers.

Spring will be here before we know it, and then it’s peak season for South Padre Island. Summer vacationers are checking work and school schedules, and local businesses who cater to tourists are hiring and getting ready for the rush.

April through September offers, budgeting, message and creative content, plus other elements all factor into very upcoming decisions. Owners and managers will soon fine tune staffing, hours of operation, products and/or services and more, all aimed to attract customers and maximize profits.

Our regional tourism days are almost here so now it’s go time. Full speed ahead to capitalize on what some call summer “Christmas season.” Get ready, SPI! You’re in it to win it!

My thirty years in the media world has primarily focused on marketing, advertising and writing. This industry is my passion. I have been blessed to serve customers with marketing consulting, advertising concepts, video production and promotion of all forms - broadcast, print and digital. My occupation is a fun job but not work. The opportunity to put clients and customers together awakens me early. Learning clients and their businesses enables me to create effective multimedia advertising campaigns. My media life led me to deep South Texas in 2004 to co-found The Business Times of the Rio Grande Valley and then the Valley Business Report in 2009. This south Louisiana native is proud to call the Rio Grande Valley my home.
