New York, new job, new year for Nora

Some bits of news....

Nora turns one this month! We have some great pics and videos of her but we are slow to get them posted. We'll get something new up soon.

I got a new job! Or rather, I got a promotion. I was the Search Engine Optimization manager for Sierra Trading Post. Now I'm the Web Marketing Manager. I'm in charge of our online marketing team and online marketing efforts. One of our guys is leaving and one of the people was me. Which means that the first thing I have to do is hire a replacement for each of those positions: PPC Specialist and SEO Specialist. I won't bother to explain what those positions will do right now because it would probably bore most of you.

Suffice it to say that the new position is challenging in that I have a lot of goals to monitor and meet as well as having personnel under me. The largest group of people that I have been responsible for in the past is two. It will also be exciting because I will hopefully be able to do some really cool projects with our website to make it easier to find, surf and shop. I have a cool team that I have already worked with for awhile so....should be fun.

I went to New York recently on business with Bertrand The Bold (whom you may remember from previous mountain biking posts and who is now part of my marketing team). Our hotel was on Times Square and we spent a morning just walking around Times Square and then central park. We even saw a huge fire! Pictures below...
