About Me
BACKGROUND
Hi, my name is Bob Hazlett. For fun and income, I help karate chop various digital marketing programs, set the strategy for online social communities and bolster search engine marketing campaigns (SEM).
I’m a digital/geek marketer which may sound weird, but really means that I help our internal teams, partners and web crew be their best and ensure the work they do online is thumbs up. I am also in charge of creating and executing our social media strategy. See my comic resume.
BELIEFS
“The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who usually do”
I believe in permission marketing, making products that fit your customers and that it’s not the strongest or the most intelligent of the species that survive, but rather the one that’s most responsive to change.
I believe in new media and the power of the community. I believe that following your heart and your passions is just as important as your ideas and your strategy. I believe we all have the power to do something great.

NERDERY
- I was once a Putt-Putt amateur champion.
- The name of my hard drives are Statler and Waldorf. You know, the guys in the balcony from the Muppets
- Eddie Murphy has nothing on me. Bobby Digital, Ethel Parkinson and Tommy the Toilet are just a couple of the characters I do.
- My nickname is the Albatross because they fly long distances with little effort (sometimes while asleep) and they rarely go hungry.
- I have a plan
