Hi all,

this is Matt Turner @ Kurb promotions.

Decided to take a change of direction with this blog.

I’m still committed to small business marketing and small business online promotion in New Zealand and have a really strong belief in this area but the facts are that as confident as I am, my background is established in the music industry and will require a significant amount of groundwork before I can start seriously generating activity around small business marketing services.

In a lot of ways I feel as if when it comes to cutting edge marketing techniques for smaller projects I’ve got a lot to offer in experience and skill.

If online marketing for small business was a band aid, I’d be up there with the best. But the problem with the music industry though is that they’ve chopped their whole foot off and a band aid wont fix that. So from a perspective, doing great work in an industry facing struggle and uncertainty is somewhat unrewarding.

So what I’m going to be doing here is starting a little journal mainly around day to day challenges faced by my business.

Which means really, this blog is moving from a marketing function to a growth and development function which will give me some perspective on the way I’m tackling day to day challenges both in theory and with practical application when I can look back, kind of like a diary.

I had a diary when I was a teengaer but I gave it up because it was so depressing reading back on it because I only wrote in the thing when I was miserable! I don’t suspect this will be any different! haha - seriously, my journal will definately revolve around resolving challenges.

I also believe that it’s an excellent way of working through issues in your head just by getting them out there.

 cheers, Matt
