Remember when I wrote about how journalism was scrambling to find a sustainable path forward as brands continue to shift their ad spend to digital giants Facebook and Google? And how that path forward is the same one that associations have always relied on: membership? Well, it’s been about 18 months and the Membership Puzzle […]
Update on me. Or why adulting with mental illness is hard as hell
First of all, hi. Hope your summer was good. I’ll be honest–mine was hard. I’ve been ruminating over how much to share here for a few months…which is basically why I’ve stopped blogging, I guess. I’ve written about mental health stigma before, and about how much better teens and young adults are at talking openly […]
Mizz Information Community
Hey there–sorry it’s been a while since I’ve posted here. I say “posted” rather than “written,” because I’ve been writing a ton over the past few months, actually. Just none of it here, or anywhere public. Working on the blogging part, because I still think there’s value in blogging and I still have a lot […]

Hope yours is going better than mine so far. : / A few weeks ago, I led a DC-area Idea Swap about 21st century communication strategies for associations, so figured I’d repurpose it here for those of you not in the DC area.

That’s why they’ve implemented this…oh, sorry, that’s not it–that’s just the billionth time they “accidentally” changed users’ sharing settings to public. Last week. But they’re sorry, obvi, because they a whole commercial promising that they’re going to do better to protect […]

Mental health stigma goes double for older people–and why we need to fix that
Remember that time last summer that I declared that I was done blogging about social media and was pivoting to writing about mental health? Or how almost exactly a year ago I wrote about mental health stigma and how it seems to be much worse for older people than younger ones? And then I proceed […]
10 years of Mizz Information…and 10 free or cheap digital marketing tools
Well, I somehow managed to miss this blog’s 10 year anniversary on February 24. Not that anyone actually cares about this other than me, but still…10 years is a LONG TIME for a commitment-phobe like me : ) Looking back at my first post I have to say that I’ve never really stopped to think about […]
