“We know what we are, but know not what we may be.”

–William Shakespeare

It is most certainly true that the only thing that remains constant in this life is that change is inevitable.  To change is to grow, and to learn, and to embrace different opportunities.  Everyday we have to make decisions, and this week I have made the very difficult decision to leave Rise Interactive to begin work as an SEO manager at SMG Search.

This was, to be sure, a very difficult decision.  I have greatly enjoyed working at Rise.  I was fortunate to work with many hard-working and very intelligent individuals.  I loved the excitement of landing the big fish, and the opportunity to work with so many fantastic clients.

At the same time, I am completely excited to get started at SMG Search.  This is a move that, on a personal level, makes a lot of sense.  It is a chance to work exclusively on what I love, and that is SEO.  I am also excited to join a new team of SEO gurus, where I can continue to learn and at the same time share the knowledge that I have.  Of course the opportunity to work with larger clients is something I am looking forward to.

I am also looking forward to the completely new experience for me of working for a large organization.  My first job out of college, NCSA, was a small company of about 20 employees that scaled up to around 100 by the time I left.  Rise was also a small company atmosphere.  Starcom will be much larger, and I am excited to experience the differences of a larger organization.

I am going to miss everyone that I worked with at Rise, and I encourage everyone to stay in touch with me, whether through Twitter, my LinkedIn profile, or just right here on the blog.
