This was a fun episode that lead to a few unexpected conversations for us. We talked about marketing a product with regional popularity, why racing is much more open to sponsorship opportunities than the big four sports and all the great things they do for the community at the Sonoma Raceway. Steve Page, GM of Sonoma Raceway, knows marketing, stays on top of the latest trends and had a whole lot of good advice to offer our listeners. Enjoy!

Andy Shore found his way to Benchmark when he replied to a job listing promising a job of half blogging, half social media. His parents still don’t believe that people get paid to do that. Since then, he’s spun his addiction to pop culture and passion for music into business and marketing posts that are the spoonful of sugar that helps the lessons go down. As the result of his boss not knowing whether or not to take him seriously, he also created the web series Ask Andy, which stars a cartoon version of himself. Despite being a cartoon, he somehow manages to be taken seriously by many of his readers ... and few of his coworkers.
