About

Thanks for coming by to check out a blend of content on all things information (written, visual, audible) that sometimes borders on serious.

This is the career weblog of Jeff Bean of San Diego-based marketing bean.

As a journalist-turned-pr-practitioner-turned-marketer, I love the intersection of culture and technology. I’m no tech geek but do have a few preferred tools and programs. I’m forever fascinated with the mind and how it perceives messages.

I’ve worked in newsrooms of the Los Angeles Times and Associated Press. I’ve sat through kick-off meetings with high-dollar creative firms and lived through irrational exuberance VC fundraising. I’ve built markets where there previously were none while evangelizing new technology backed by some big names in telecom.

For fun, I keep a cycling weblog over here called BikeCrave. It’s a way to give back through something called “Penny per mile” and have fun.

And what’s life without a little bit of both?

  2. Joe,

    It was amazing to watch you work.

    If that opportunity comes again, I’ll be lucky in life twice. Keeping an eye on your calendar on the off-chance you’re in San Diego again.

    Thanks so much for sharing those two days!

    -Jeff
