We hope you all enjoyed yesterday’s post on our 10 Favorites of 2000-2009.

In keeping with the theme, today we decided to look toward the future and make 5 predictions for the upcoming decade. Maybe in 10 years, we’ll still be writing on this blog and we’ll be able to see which of these came true…who knows? Read more →

Another decade has come and gone…and quite a lot has happened between the beginning of 2000 and the end of 2009!

The “Naughts” as the decade is apparently called (we don’t really like that name though) were full of good things and bad. But of course we can’t write a post on everything that happened! That’s why we’ve decided to create a list of the top 10 things of the decade — Pyxl style : ) Read more →

Before everyone heads off for some holiday R&R, the Pyxl team would like to wish you Happy Holidays!

We also wanted to share some photos from a very cool, very Christmas-y Joy to the World event we attended earlier this month at Rick Angel and Jerry Amiot’s home. If you haven’t had a chance to see this amazing home, we encourage you to check it out at an event next year! Read more →

Often, small to medium-sized businesses don’t have the budget or the need for a full-time marketing or public relations firm. However, it’s still important for these organizations to get media coverage, as this is often what creates brand awareness and ensures more website visits and foot traffic (if you have a website and/or a store of course).

In this market, small businesses need to do what they can to stand out among the competition while still keeping an eye on the budget…and that’s why we decided to create MyPRGuide! Read more →

Last week, Social Media Club Knoxville hosted a panel discussion on social media liability, ethics and policy. The topic, which drew a lot of interest locally, is a big issue for numerous organizations, including some of our larger clients.

As companies of all sizes start getting involved in social media, it’s becoming increasingly more important for many of them to create a social media policy for their employees. Read more →

Ok, time to come clean… I am a “gamer”. Unlike many “gamers” though – I am also a workaholic and can hardly stand to watch time being frittered away while I’m on the clock. These two passions (or flaws depending on where your standing) of mine got me thinking one day about the amount of time wasted nowadays on something entirely self-centered and almost valueless… video games.

We talk a lot about how powerful social media is and how Twitter can be used in some really interesting ways, so I think the Knoxville Challenger tennis event is an interesting case study. Read more →

Tonight, Pyxl is sponsoring another Social Media Club Knoxville event — Winter Panel: Social Media Liability, Ethics & Policy, and we hope to see you all there!

As social media continues to evolve, businesses and individuals alike are diving head first into the new media pool — often without precaution! Additionally, with new FTC guidelines for bloggers and more and more court cases involving Twitter, Facebook and other networks (including one in our own back yard!), it’s important for users of social media to stay informed of the dangers and policies that could affect them!
