The First Post

In my relatively short time in the advertising industry, I have learned a few things about making an impact in the online world. One thing that really stands out to me is the fact that nearly everyone who has an opinion I respect and/or creative skills I admire has some kind of blog or website they publish their ideas on.  It’s a great way to share all those ideas that don’t make it into your projects, track the evolution of an idea or generally just vent.

So here I am, starting my very own blog at creativeguise.com where I hope to share my thoughts on the state of advertising, online marketing, technology, music, films and whatever else is knocking around the ol’ noggin. I’m mainly doing it for my own sanity, but any kind of readership amassed in future couldn’t hurt me either.

About Doug McArthur

I'm a lazy alcoholic with no career goals or other life aspirations who enjoys dumpster diving, nude walks through high traffic areas, growing a beard to a length habitable by families of small rodents, dining on the finest rotten banana peels and washing it all down with a nice gulp of river swill from a 2-litre of coke cut in half. OK but really, I'm an Internet marketing consultant whose focus is on SEO. I also dabble in web design and graphic design. I graduated from the UofM with my degree in English and minor in Philosophy in 2004 and from Creative Communications at Red River College in 2008 where I majored in advertising.

    Can I submit a bi-weekly scan of the worst print ads that are running in the Winnipeg Sun?

    They make me cry.
