Amazingly, this year marks Blair Marketing’s 35th year of service. We’re commemorating this achievement with an anniversary logo that hearkens back to that glamorous, techno-pop era of our founding…when hair was big, ties were wide, and the most stylish shoulders were padded. In 1984, Bob Blair and his wife, Sandy, started Blair Communications in his home....

One of our Florida clients, Environmental Risk Management,...

When the cell phone finally collided with web & video technology, shockwaves from that collision shook every area of life and commerce. Think about everything that’s been reshaped by the smartphone—shopping, TV viewing, dating and relationships, cultural norms and customs, the photo and video industries, politics, law enforcement...and, of course, marketing.

You can get out of breath pretty quickly trying to keep up with the marketing field. To help Blair Marketing stay in shape, Kip Smith attended the Internet Summit in North Carolina this week. The event spotlights the latest developments in the digital marketing sphere. (Which would include SEO, SEM, VR, AR, AI, and...

Like the hermit crabs who swap shells as they grow, Blair Marketing has finally finished crawling into our new (and much larger) shell on Thomson Drive. When we moved to our previous location almost 25 years ago, photography was still on film, our archives were 3-ring binders, and the Internet was dial-up (and charged...

Retailers have lots of opportunities to offer gifts with purchase and other promotional bundles to boost sales.  But what can a paving contractor offer to potential customers?
