For example, on one of our current contracts, we faced the following challenge: how could we include massive amounts of information in a single Facebook cover photo (851px wide by 315 px tall) without it looking like a jumbled mess? By converting the standard static cover photo into a motion video, we enabled our clients to include all the information they needed, while also creating an engaging piece of content for fans to share. According to recent studies, social video generates 1,200 percent more shares than text and images combined, and on average, viewers retain 95 percent of a message when they watch it in a video — compared to 10 percent when reading it in text. New features are released every day on social media, and our “SMEEK” team is working hard to develop strategies, tactics and techniques that take full advantage of these new opportunities to reach your fans.

She didn’t know how that career would take shape until she started working for the U. S. Navy and Marine Corps after earning her master’s degree in clinical psychology from the University of Kansas. Initially involved in domestic violence programs that awakened her lifelong commitment to women’s issues, Debbie worked for 20 years in positions with the military, developing and implementing policies and programs that provided the unique support military families need. Today 100 percent of her firm’s work is for the U. S. Department of Defense and Veterans Affairs, but Debbie says she’s ready to scale the business. We’ve been growing so quickly that I’ve skipped some steps along the way, but my C200 friends have reminded me to pause, and ensure that my personal and corporate values remain intact yet evolve to accommodate our growing team and executive staff.

Now, a grandmother and the wife of recently retired Marine Corps Master Gunnery Sergeant, I see more clearly than ever how my life and the experience of being a military brat propelled me in directions I otherwise wouldn’t have gone. Next to my father are images of my Marine husband and, recently, I’ve added one more: a silver framed 8×10 of my oldest son in his Air Force blues, recently graduated from Basic Military Training and moving on to further military training. My military kids and your military kids are phenomenal because they come out of those experiences with incredible insights and attitudes. Military brats step into their future armed with insights and attitudes developed during their lives as the children of Soldiers, Sailors, Airman and Marines —fortified with strength and courage.

For the second year in a row, I was able to support the Wounded Warrior Regiment at the Marine Corps Trials at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. The Marine Corps Trials are a preliminary event for the DoD-wide Warrior Games in July 2018, which will be held at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Our client, the Wounded Warrior Regiment of the United States Marine Corps, asked that The Bowen Group provide on-site coverage for the trials. Working with them and their satellite setup, we were able to have a multi-shot live stream for all of the events that was shared directly to the Wounded Warrior Regiment’s Facebook page.
