Let's Talk About Stuff.
Our Blog
Our goal in posting our blogs is three fold: To introduce timely industry news that is relevant to our clients; to post items we find interesting and entertaining, and finally, to give you a glimpse of TSW US “Behind the Curtain”. We take the business aspects of what we are doing very seriously, but we like to have fun, hopefully that shines through here.
Our Blog is a puzzle being assembled. Sometimes the individual pieces of the puzzle don’t look like the whole picture once completed – You have to keep adding pieces one at a time to make the image clear. We hope you keep coming back to see how the TSW US puzzle takes shape.

What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

It is always important to plan your business move carefully, which is of course why the Tito's remains as the last item in the freezer!
Cheers!
Tombstones for Media USA Weekend Folds
Tombstones for Media
The recent demise of USA Weekend brought forward the thought that many times, we only hear the positive news about media circulation. Announcements are made about redesign, expanded rate bases and new program launches, but when a media dies off, it can take a while to hear about it. With so much data cached on the internet, if you search online you would swear it was still publishing. In Tombstones for Media, we are going to try to not only alert you to the closures, but recommend replacement options. In this continuing climate of consolidation, this may become a very active segment for our posts.
RIP USA Weekend.
