About WebMarketCentral WMC is a portal site providing resources for interactive marketing professionals, including the latest web marketing and e-commerce news, helpful advice, webcasts, blog links, career opportunities and an extensive directory of online marketing resources. It also features the web's most comprehensive directory of marketing and advertising trade publications and calendar of marketing events. This site was conceived, designed, researched and developed, and is maintained by me, Tom Pick. About Tom Pick I’ve been a b2b marketer since 1992, focused on research, writing, leadership and online marketing since 1996. Today, I help clients, independently and through B2B technology marketing and PR firm KC Associates, increase their visibility, credibility, and business success through interactive marketing and PR activities. Specifically:
I’ve been writing the WebMarketCentral online marketing blog—which has won several accolades including a MarketingSherpa Readers Choice award and is ranked in the top 0.08% of all blogs tracked by Technorati—since 2005. Among the topics covered on the WMC blog are SEO, social media optimization, online advertising and interactive PR. I’m on a CMO Council advisory board and a member of the Minnesota Interactive Marketing Association (MIMA). And yes, I speak. Most recently, I presented "The 10 Ps of Successful Blogging" to a St. Paul business group. I will be speaking on “What PR Pros Need to Know About Social Media” at the Blogging for Business conference in June 2008. Trivia I built my first Web site in 1996; it was a competitive intelligence extranet for an enterprise software company, which the firm's sales force dubbed "Lethal Weapon." The most gratifying comment I ever received about it was the day I demonstrated it for a new sales rep the company had just lured away from the largest software company in the world, who said "I wish we'd have had something like that at IBM." I've been told that I look like Glenn Frey of the Eagles, but I don't see it. (There's a better photo of me on my blog.) What People are Saying About WebMarketCentral "I wanted to applaud you on creating and maintaining
such a comprehensive and helpful site." "There’s a down-to-earth, good-humored brilliance in
Tom Pick’s observations. He leaves his mark of acuity and clarity on any
subject he chooses to address. My frequent take is head thrown back with
a smile. Then I go to work applying what I’ve learned." "We found WebMarketCentral to be a huge asset to us
and our customers in helping them with their marketing programs. Tom's
crew has done a great job creating a destination on the web filled with
new and relevant content." “WebMarketCentral is a valuable resource for any
marketer leveraging the Internet to drive awareness, sales or their
overall business. The articles are spot-on and well describe the
techniques to market via the web. It’s a site you’ll want to visit
regularly to keep ahead of marketing opportunities associated with the
Internet.” "Your
article on how to drive
traffic to a website through content is right on target. The days of
trying to trick the search engines are over. Content is King! Thank you
for not only corroborating that fact but also providing a great list of
ideas on how to expand content. Keep up the good work!"
"I like what I see. WebMarketCentral is such a
valuable marketing resource that we've linked it from our intranet. I'd
rather spend a Sunday afternoon surfing WebMarketCentral than watching
the Minnesota Vikings play." "Tom Pick and company at WebMarketCentral have some
good stuff cooking at their
portal site for
marketing professionals. WebMarketCentral is striving to find, assemble
and present the best of online marketing –
in one convenient place. So far, in my estimation, they've done that ...
and then some." "A BIG thanks for the article on how to craft an
ad agency RFP. What you might not know is the number of times
prospective clients ask US to give them a format for an RFP. From now on
I'll send them the link to your site. The site is impressive overall,
and I'm passing it along as a resource to others."
"Allow me to recommend Tom Pick's blog to you:
The
WebMarketCentral Blog. Trying to think how to describe it accurately
I came up with this: Thought. There's a lot of thought that goes into
this blog – interviews, rants, and just some
thoughtful ruminations on marketing issues."
“WebMarketCentral.com is a valuable
resource for anyone responsible for getting a story told, a position
articulated, and a brand established." "Thanks to
MarketingSherpa's recent blog and podcast awards, I've gotten to
know about some more great sites related to online business. I liked the
runners up more than the winners – they seemed to contain more helpful
information and less blogspeak. Take a look at
WebMarketCentral, and
StartUp Nation, both chock-full of actionable info.
"WebMarketCentral provides a growing portal to
resources that help bring a lot of these elements –
networking, site traffic-building, and converting site traffic to
customers – together. Tom Pick bears a
strange resemblance to Glenn Frey, even if he can't see it himself."
