I (Kim Bode) had a Twitter scuffle a few years ago, it was between myself and a well-known statewide reporter. No blood was shed, some points were made and I like to think we both walked away with more perspective on each other’s jobs. If you’re in the public relations field, you’ve faced the wrath […]
Working with the Dunes Resort is a riot, we get to be sassy, a little bawdy, and a lot creative. When you’re running the largest gay resort in the country, you need a website to support booking, events, galleries, social media, and more.

We spend our time outside by fires, inhaling ice cream, boating, and heading to all the local fairs to check out the races, rides, and elephant ears.
