I don’t remember the exact date the Sixthman Blog was born, but it was right around today two years ago. Since starting this whole blog thing way back in early 2008, Sixthman has:
- Published 643 posts.
- Had 2,118 comments approved.
- Launched over half a dozen new events.
- Grown as a company in size by 50%.
- Had 11,011 downloads of the Sixthman Podcast (currently in the offseason).
- Launched Sixthman.TV.
Phew! Well, as most of you know, Sixthman has never been a company to play it safe or take it easy. I like to think that we’re the best at what we do because we’re constantly trying to innovate, reevaluate, and attempt new things and methods to take our cruises, our service, and our community to the next level.
After sitting down with Andy this past week, we decided it’s time for the blog to grow up a little. Initially it started as a place for you all to get to know the team members at Sixthman, to see the people who make the company tick…and then Sixthman.TV came along and pretty much took “character development” to a whole new level.
We then looked to the blog as a way to keep people updated on our events and cruises and such, except that we started using our Facebook Fan pages and Twitter pages for those quick news flashes, question & answers, and instant polls.
So we’ve made the decision to make a change on the Sixthman Blog format. Rather than five posts per week (which is tough to keep up with when you have a full time job!), we want to produce two KICK-ASS posts per week along with a Sixthman.TV video every Friday. Rather than scrambling to put together a post because we know we need to, we want to produce articles and content that is worth of the Sixthman name.
We pride ourselves on producing an experience that you can’t get anywhere else – that’s the approach we plan on taking with the Sixthman Blog.
Starting tomorrow, our new schedule will be as follows: a new article every Monday and Wednesday and then a new Sixthman.TV film every Friday.
It’s definitely a big change from our old ways, but it’s a change I’m incredibly excited about and can’t wait to try. Bear with us over the next few months as we get our wheels turning, but make sure you stick around because I’m confident you’ll like what you see.
Live loud.
