A shout-out to Denver/Omaha client CSG Systems and Seattle client HomeStreet Bank for their support for Habitat for Humanity.

HomeStreet Bank has long partnered with Habitat for Humanity in Washington communities, including volunteerism, educational and fundraising activities, board leadership, and home loans. Plus the bank has directly contributed more than $500,000 to Habitat for Humanity organizations during the past 12 years.

CSG Systems employee teams will take part in Habitat for Humanity Omaha’s Fall Framing Frenzy in September, bringing 100+ volunteers to an intense weekend of building.

We are proud to work with companies who give their time and money to their communities.

Our own Senior Search Strategist Robert Coats was recently featured in an article on search marketing in BtoB Magazine.

Robert offered some expert insights into prospects’ search behavior, campaign structure, and lead gen:

“There are so many things you can do with search as a lead-gen tool, and a thousand ways to approach it,” Coats said. “The key is, it’s not so much how you want to be found as how your prospects are searching. It’s understanding psychology, and human nature and how people begin their searches around issues they’re trying to resolve.”

Great work, Robert.

Congratulations to Perkins Coie, the Seattle-based international law firm, for matching Lance Armstrong’s 7 straight wins. Perkins Coie has been named for the 7th year in a row by Fortune Magazine as one of the top 100 companies to work for nationally.

Whether you think Lance Armstrong is an inspiring, courageous, altruistic, world champion or an arrogant, self-serving, doping, movie-star cavorting, megalomaniac… or all the above, LIVESTRONG, his cancer-fighting organization does, hands-down, some of, if not THE best marketing in the world.

Everything this organization does is on the cutting edge of online and social marketing.  They bring together corporations, artists, athletes, musicians, doctors, nurses, patients, and Joe Public in a dazzling array of social and conventional partnerships and viral techniques. And creatively superb.

I’ve never seen the Web used better. Go to Livestrong.org and Livestrong.com.

The objective is to be relevant and educational and provocative.

Let us know if we aren’t.
