      <description>&lt;div class='jive-rendered-content'&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.fg2.com/clearspace/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/38-1152-1500/zen-art.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.fg2.com/clearspace/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/38-1152-1500/zen-art.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You don't need an MBA to know the bottom line in business is about profit and performance. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That's why "Be The Bottom Line" currently serves as my office-hours mantra. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Be The Bottom Line.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In a metaphysical sense, being the bottom line requires training that unites the body and mind - not to mention a fusion of eastern and western ideologies. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Be The Bottom Line.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Four little words that say so much about FG SQUARED. This yin-and-yang &lt;em&gt;microthought&lt;/em&gt; neatly summarizes the holistic viewpoint we bring to our clients -- visionary people in organizations that are market leading -- willing to examine and adopt new interactive tools to create a faster track to profitability.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you're a business leader -- someone responsible for making sure your company competes at the highest levels -- I'm sure you are constantly considering new ways to increase sales, reduce cost or improve productivity. Perhaps for you, the role of Corporate Marketing is already shifting to a profit center rather than a pure cost center. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Innovative social media technologies like social networks, podcasting, mobile messaging (SMS), and collaborative tools can be applied to make new connections at a fraction of the cost of traditional creative media. And when executed intelligently with passion, it is possible to dramatically increase overall marketing communications effectiveness.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ultimately, though, it's through integrated thinking that you can fully harness the power of interactive marketing. And that's when the FG SQUARED mantra begins. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I'll delve deeper into context in my upcoming articles. In the meantime, welcome to The SQUARED Root!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>
