Ted CurtinWelcome to TedCurtin.com, essentially a collection of thoughts and ideas, information and helpful tips that you'll find interesting if you're involved in Strategic Planning and Brand Management, Experiential Marketing, Customer Acquisition and Retention, Communications and Public Relations, New Business Development and Social Media Marketing and Engagement.

You'll also find it interesting if you're the creative type - one who loves innovation and is never satisfied with status quo. Maybe you're adventurous and always looking for what's next, what's out there, and how we can find new solutions to existing problems. Either way, I hope you'll find a lot of useful information here - not just about marketing, but about the adventurous and inquisitive spirit that drives innovative leaders towards great discoveries and into uncharted waters.

But don't worry, this website isn't all business! For the adventurer, explorer, creator and connoisseur, you'll find just as much here about the many adventures I've stumbled upon (planned or unplanned), cuisine I'm constantly in search of - or creating myself - and the people I've met and lessons I've learned along the way.  My journey has taken me from coast to coast, to the high peaks of Alaska's Mount McKinley in Denali National Park to the Costa Rican rain forest, from islands in the Pacific to islands in the Mediterranean, from the Canadian Rockies to Caribbean beaches and so many wonderful places in between.

Please dive in, explore, and by all means, share. That's what makes a great website. You can connect with me on LinkedIn, @TedCurtin on Twitter, and by good old fashion e-mail!
