A competing online marketing company's unorthodox approach to self-promotion got consultant Karl Long thinking about ways he could use his personal blog as a public relations tool to help his company, Local Zing.
As a tiny Florida player in the field of advertising for small businesses, Long knew he should consider unconventional ways to promote his company.
