The Conversation Factory is now open and helping clients and partners like BrackenChase Builders, Premier Bank, Florida Medical Association, and artist Paul Tamanian, explore the possibilities of non-traditional marketing strategies based on today’s ever-evolving media landscape.

The Conversation Factory is also working with really smart local students (currently 20 total) interested in learning about and working in advertising and marketing through a project called the Real Work Group. If you’re a student interested in exploring this brave new world of marketing, think about joining us here. If you’re on twitter, you can contact me directly for more information.

Currently, The Conversation Factory’s online presence is only on Facebook, but get this, not you or anyone you know will receive a request to become a fan. Why? We think that should happen naturally based on the things we do rather than an invitation we send.

Regardless, we hope you’ll check in from time to time to see what we’re up to. If you like what we’re doing, leave a message — or heck, become a fan. We’d love it even more if you’d tell us what kind of content we could provide or areas that we could explore that you’d find valuable. After all, we started The Conversation Factory to engage in honest conversations about current business and marketing issues.

Where in the world is The Conversation Factory?
Right here in Tallahassee, Florida. So if you’re in the neighborhood, you are cordially invited to stop in for a cup of coffee — no reservations necessary. If we’re in a meeting, just have a seat and we’ll be with you as soon as we can. If you don’t want to take a chance, call Michael Calienes at (850) 459.8192.

What’s happening to Michael Calienes’ company, transplant?
Nothing at all. transplant is alive and well and doing business within The Conversation Factory space. We’re still picking up new clients and projects that will benefit from our strategic and exploratory work at The Conversation Factory.

Want to know anything else?
Just ask away. Leave a comment below or message me through our Facebook page.

(Thanks to Miami’s Michelle Garcia-Corcoran who became our first official “un-asked” fan. Must be that Miami “edge.” :)

Hope you’re all doing well.
