Last week several folks from Centresource crossed the river to the East Side to help out with the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program. This gift-giving bonanza has been around since the 70s and spread throughout the US and many other countries. The idea is to match kids in need with Angels; people who will shop…
Earlier this year, we were honored to be nominated by .net magazine as Agency of the Year. We’re still blown away by it, and it got us thinking: A little while ago, .net announced their 25 favorite books for web designers and developers. We thought their list was pretty stellar, so we decided to celebrate…

Last night the Nashville Technology Council held their 2011 “Feel the Beat” Awards Gala, and boy are we blown away! Our dear Lyndsay Rush picked up the award for Social Media/Blogger of the Year. As if that wasn’t enough,…
Thanks to all the happy campers who came out, said hello and hung out with us on Saturday for BarCamp Nashville! We had so much fun seeing everyone, making you s’mores, and generally goofing around in the “great outdoors”. Those of you who weren’t there missed out on some great fun: not only were we…
Just a quick note that VentureBeat quoted me in regards to FourSquare’s new RADAR feature. Long story short, geo-fenced tips/notifications are cool if they are “opt in”.

The writeup sums up our intention for our bi-monthly Interactive Mixers perfectly: What sets the “interactive web and mobile marketing” firm apart…is a casual vibe that doesn’t feel cliquey or like…
One of the best things about working at Centresource is our ROWE policy. What is ROWE you may ask? ROWE stands for ‘Results Only Work Environment’. Essentially ROWE is a management strategy where employees are evaluated on performance, not presence. That being said, many of our Centresource employees participate in this perk. Here are a…
BIG news for Centresource today! (drum-roll please…) We were chosen to be in the Inc. 5000!!! What’s the Inc. 5000 you ask? A NASCAR race? A telethon? Nope. Just one of the finest honors that can be bestowed upon an small business in these United States. Every year Inc. Magazine dispatches its scouts to the…
Who Wore It Best? And the winner is….. The first ever tie! Six weeks ago, Chip Hayner and I wore the exact same outfit to the office. We thought it would be fun to have a “Who Wore It Best” contest and let the people of the interwebs vote using Survey Monkey. Since then, we’ve…
In a melodramatic attempt to close up my time here at Centresource, I figured I would reflect on some lessons learned… As a manager, you set the weather. Our CEO, Nick told me early on “you set the weather for your department”. At the time I had never heard the expression before. Here’s how I…
