  • What's Up ABQ: Kevin Wade w/ Griffinwink Advertising

    Contrary to popular opinion, they're not actually a winking mythical creature - but they're still magical just the same.

    This week Ryan and Linds talk it up with Kevin Wade over at Griffinwink Advertising about what it takes to market local endeavors right here in Albuquerque. It's more than just numbers and it's more than just a big budget... it's all about how skillful communication and talent can tell a story others want to help support.

    But what Does that actually look like, you ask?

    This episode's for you.
