Congratulations, SouthTech!

Posted by: on Monday, May 13, 2013

Following up on last week’s blog, I am pleased to report my marketing budget workshop was well received and SouthTech won the award for the Greater Sarasota Chamber of Commerce Small Business of the Year.

I would like to congratulate SouthTech partners Paul Hoffman, Chad Goble, and Nathan Bailey for building a successful business and a winning team. I would also like to recognize Lori Denny, SouthTech’s marketing manager, who set a personal goal of winning the prestigious award since merging her business with SouthTech in December of 2011.

SouthTech is one of our first and best clients. Milestone was incorporated in October of 2009, and we started working with SouthTech in January of 2010. We’ve grown with them, and we feel like we’re part of the team. We couldn’t be more pleased with their win. Oh wait. Yes we can. And we will. When we join the SouthTech crew this Friday for a special event!

In what has turned out to be a prescient decision, SouthTech rented a movie theater to treat employees, partners, and customers to a show. What better movie for a bunch of techies? That’s right folks – the new Star Trek movie, Into Darkness. And it’s going to be awesome.

Until next week,

Matthew Anderson, President
Milestone Marketing Associates, Inc.

 

P.S. On a personal note…

Last Wednesday was the anniversary of my brother’s passing. Some days it’s hard to believe it’s been four years since John died because I’ll think of him in very immediate ways; a joke he used to tell or something I’d like to share with him. Other days pass without a thought on the subject as if he were a distant memory – someone to remember on special occasions.

I’m not sure I appreciate this gradual change, the feeling of loss that slowly subsides over time. It makes me feel guilty, like I’ve turned my back on a friend. I know acceptance is part of the grieving process, but I don’t like the idea of ‘getting over it’ if that means giving up on someone I love.

My darling son
We will always remember John...and the best thing to do is remember the good stuff. Everyone knows how much you loved your brother...so just take it one day at a time and know that he left this world a better place by having been in it.

I lost my husband, Leo just a little over a year ago and every day something comes up that reminds me of him or us - It's such a strong part of life and now I know how hard it is for all who lost a loved one - There is a comfort in the memories and and knowing that they are here to help us not be sad but strong...I will keep you in my prayers

I feel for ya pal. I just want to offer you some words of encouragment. Don't ever feel guilty that you have turned your back on John. You honor him by remebering a joke or by something you would like to say. That's the great part of remembering a friend, or brother, or father. It does get easier over time. Do I miss my dad....you are damn right I do. But I also take comfort in the fact that he left a boatload of fun memories to remember. I do hope that over time you will continue to remember him with jokes and whatever else pops into your head because it is times like those that make it special. Good luck buddy and have a great day. see you soon!!
