Free Books: Social Media Marketing for Dummies

Filed under: Inside Apis Design, Online Marketing — Robin Eldred @ 10:19 am

Social Media Marketing for DummiesWe have six of these bad boys to give away. First come, first served, Calgary residents only.

They were given to us by our friends at Syscal, who originally received them from Dell. Given that those of us atĀ Apis are the (so-called) social media experts, we were the ultimate recipients of these lovely gifts. And it has fallen upon our shoulders to help spread the gospel of the who’s, what’s, why’s and how’s of social media.

So if you’re interested in reading more about social media marketing (and specifically, social media influence) just give us a shout. We’ll happily give these books away to any Calgary folks who want to learn more about My-Twit-Face-Link-Space, and all the other latest and greatest tools that the kids are using these days.

Epic Foosball Success

Filed under: Inside Apis Design — Tags: , , — Robin Eldred @ 8:42 am

What do you do when you purchase a new foosball table? Why, discard the old one, of course.

At Apis Design, we like our foosball. So much so, in fact, that we’ve slowly destroyed our old table over the course of many high stakes games. We recently purchased a new, much sturdier and developer-resistant table, so the old one had to go. After carefully dismantling the rods by hand and removing the table legs with fly kicks, it was time to send ‘ol Foosy six feet under. May he rest in peace alongside all the table scraps from Original Joe’s.
