2012 AAM Volunteer of the Year: Laura Bardey Sparks

       

Laura Bardey Sparks, Freelance Writer and Owner, Creative Sparks, was recently honored as the Volunteer of the Year at the 2012 Association for Accounting Marketing Conference.

 

During our Capstone Conversation Laura shared her thoughts about why information isn't knowledge, letting go of the fear of being wrong, and the three essential marketing questions. 
 

What is your best piece of advice for accounting marketers?

 

Laura Bardey Sparks:  You have to be courageous. It's definitely something that I've come to understand over my 15 years in the industry but the best marketing takes a stand, otherwise you sound like everyone else. If what you're saying is pretty much the same as what your competitors are saying, you are not winning any points with the people you're trying to reach.
