Growing up, anytime I asked my father why I had to do something I was told, his reply was, "Because I said so." So in the spirit of all self-proclaimed authorities out there, I name my blog in your honor. My disclaimer is this, I am not a travel authority or a culinary expert or a wine connoisseur. My passion for all things related to travel, food and friends is my only credibility (and perhaps my 20+ years of tourism marketing) . The rest, as they say, is because I said so.
Marianne authors her personal travel blog,"Because I Said So," as well as the destination blog for Anna Maria Island & Longboat Key, Florida, www.ourislandculture.com. She is President of Cushing Ink, a writing consultancy, and former co-owner of Insight Strategies, Inc, an internationally recognized tourism marketing agency. She resides in Fort Myers, Florida with her husband, daughter and four dogs.
Just in case you don't catch the added links on my blog roll, there are 2 new blogs I wanted to share with you. The first, I recommend because it's penned by 3 brilliant tourism marketers and it's called: Inside The Bubble. Okay, confession... it's the blog of my ad agency Insight - and its authors are myself, my business partner Kimberly and our Sr. Art Director Paul. Between the three of us, we have been in this business for over 60 years (I was 12 when I started). And yes, it's brilliant, if I do say so myself. It's an insightful look into the brains of our agency - the thinking behind the creative work we produce.
The second blog, I make no claim to. But I still think it's awesome. I came across it on Facebook. Long story short, Justine Bateman (yes, Mallory) posted a link to Debi Mazar's twitter page. From there, I found this blog. It's a delightful food blog called Under The Tuscan Gun, written by Debi and her adorable Italian husband, Gabriele. They have really cute video episodes on it, where Debi stands by to assist and, when necessary, translate for Gabriele when he forgets how to say an ingredient in English. Love it! I just want to know how they can be so skinny!
