We have a great group of internet professionals and creatives in Birmingham and it’s a shame that many of them are having a hard time getting work while hacks are being imported to the city to consult with our businesses. Now, don’t take this the wrong way, I have plenty of work to do and love the people that I work with but this is just ridiculous. I don’t have enough digits to count how many times over the past few years that “intelligent” business people decide to use firms from outside the city rather than pump dollars into the local economy.

There are fantastic firms locally that I know personally, Cayenne Creative, Scout Branding, Provenance Digital, & Intermark not to mention countless others that I know I am forgetting. (Sorry guys!)

So come on Birmingham businesses, support your local firms! They will work hard for you and probably use your services down the road.

One other thing, many of the folks from the “Big Firms” out of state, put crappy people on your account because they don’t think very highly of you.
