Breaking Silos To Break Bank: Shattering The Divide Between Search And SocialNavah Hopkins
At Mozcon 2024 I shared this deck on bridging the divide between search and social. We began by acknowledging that search-first marketers are used to different rules of engagement than social marketers. We also looked at how both channels treat creative, audiences, bidding/budgeting, and AI. We finished by going through how they can win together including UTM audits, harvesting comments from both to inform creative, and allowing for non-login forums to be part of your marketing strategy.

Advanced Storytelling Concepts for MarketersEd Shimp
Every marketer knows you’re supposed to tell a story, but do you know how to tell a story? Do you know why you’re supposed to tell a story? Do you even truly know what a story is? While many marketing presentations emphasize the value of mythic storytelling, the nuts and bolts of actually constructing a story are never explored.
The goal of marketing may be to achieve specific KPIs that drive sales, which is very objective, but the top of the marketing funnel requires a softer approach. In our data-driven results-oriented fast-paced world, marketers must quantify results, but those results will never be achieved unless prospects are first approached with humanity.
There is a common misunderstanding that the so-called “soft skills” of marketing such as language and art are unmeasurable and subjective, but while the objective measures of market research are merely 100 years old, the rules of aesthetics have been perfected over the last 2,500 years.
Great story construction is a skill that requires significant knowledge and practice. This presentation will be a review of the ancient art of story construction.
We will discuss:
• Rhetoric – The art of effective communication
• The Socratic Method – You cannot teach, but you can persuade people to learn
• Plato’s Cave – You sell products, but you market ideas
• Aristotle’s Six Dramatic Elements – The secret recipe for marketing stories
This is for senior marketers who are tasked with creating effective narratives or guiding others in the process. By the end of the session, attendees will have gained the knowledge needed to work storytelling into all phases of the buyer’s journey.

Building Georgia Together
A
Progress
of
Century

As the 1940s drew to a close, most of the roads
through the north Georgia mountains were steep,
winding, and rarely paved. Contractors faced unusual
challenges building and paving new roads.
In 1948 the Ledbetter Construction Company, from
Rome, began work on a section of the road from
Hiawassee to Clayton, grading, relocating, clearing,
and grubbing in preparation for a bituminous surface
treatment. Caterpillar tractors pulled scrapers, pans,
and a sheepsfoot roller, and a Cat® motor grader
smoothed the surface for final preparations.
Meanwhile, Hardaway Contracting Company of
Columbus was widening and relocating about eight
miles of road from Turner’s Corner past Desoto Falls
to Neels Gap, at the base of Blood Mountain. The
eleven-foot-wide mountain road had long since been
determined inadequate to handle traffic between
Gainesville and Murphy, North Carolina. The new
road would be thirty feet wide with a bituminous
surface and would eliminate many of the steep grades,
switchbacks, and hairpin curves that were virtually
impossible to navigate in bad weather.
Hardaway used two crews starting at each end of the
job and meeting in the middle with a wide assortment
of equipment, including Caterpillar D8 tractors and
Cat® 12 motor graders.
MacDougald Construction Company of Atlanta took
on yet another mountain road project, a 2.8-mile
section of the thirteen-mile road from Blue Ridge
to Copperhill, Tennessee. Oddly, the MacDougald
project, as designed by the Georgia State Highway
Commission, was straight as a ruler, without regard to
mountains and gorges.
Gentry and Thompson Construction Company was
subcontracted for the construction of five culverts, and
workmen began by hewing a mile-long straight road
into the forest for equipment to be brought in. Heavy
rains made it impossible for a truck hauling equipment
to cross that road, so Lou Gentry used his Caterpillar
D2 tractor to pull the truck with the equipment
through the mud to the job site. In seventeen days,
including the time taken to clear the way, Gentry
had completed the culverts. From that point on,
MacDougald’s work went quickly and smoothly.

Key Dates in the History of the
Interstate Highway System
1919
Lieutenant Colonel Dwight D. Eisenhower participated in the first army transcontinental motor
convoy. The expedition consisted of eighty-one motorized army vehicles that crossed the United
States from Washington, D.C., to San Francisco, a venture covering a distance of 3,251 miles in
sixty-two days. The expedition was manned by 24 officers and 258 enlisted men. The convoy was to
test the mobility of the military during wartime conditions. As an observer for the War Department,
Eisenhower learned first-hand of the difficulties faced in traveling great distances on roads that
were impassable, and that resulted in frequent breakdowns of the military vehicles. These early
experiences influenced his later decisions concerning the building of the interstate highway system
during his presidential administration.
1944
The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1944
authorized the designation of up to
40,000 miles of interstate highway.
No federal funds were earmarked for
interstate highway construction. In the
same year the Atlanta City Council
commissioned H. W. Lochner Company
of Chicago to study Atlanta traffic
patterns and make recommendations
for road construction, which would
result in a plan for the Atlanta
expressway system.
1939
The Bureau of Public Roads created a report,
“Toll Roads and Free Roads,” that President
Franklin Roosevelt relied on as a master plan
for a system of interregional highways. The
groundwork was being laid for the interstate
highway system.
1922
General John “Blackjack” Pershing, who
had been commander of U.S. forces in
World War I, presented to Congress a
map of a proposed national highway
system. The nation had very few paved
roads of any kind at the time.
1920 1930 1940 1950
105
1956
The 1956 Federal-
Aid Highway Act
authorized 41,000
miles of interstate
highways with 90
percent to be financed
by the Highway Trust
Fund and 10 percent
by states.
1959
The federal motor
fuel tax was raised
from three cents to
four cents per gallon,
increasing revenue
to the Highway Trust
Fund.
1976
The Federal-Aid
Highway Act of 1976
provided money to
resurface, restore,
and rehabilitate
deteriorating
segments of interstate
highways that had
reached their twenty-
year designed life.
1968
Congress expanded
the designated
interstate system to
42,500 miles.

1948–1955
Postwar Boom
61
After the war ended, America experienced
the largest period of growth in our
country’s history. Men and women
returned to their families after serving in
our armed forces and got back to making
lives for themselves. The G.I. Bill provided
veterans with funds for vocational and
college educations, to purchase homes,
and to start businesses. Our country
celebrated by growing faster than ever.
Larger families quickly led to the need
for more housing, which led to the
need for more commercial and highway
construction.
John Taylor witnessed tremendous
changes during his career at Yancey Bros.
Co. When he joined the company as a
new Georgia Tech graduate in 1948, the
company was still located in its Whitehall
Street building. “It was an old tin shed
with no central heat and no central air,” he
says. “We heated the place with wood in
barrels, and in summer we cooled it with
fans.
“Four Yancey family members worked
in the business, Mister Goodloe, the
founder and original president; Sid
Yancey, the sales manager; L. D. Yancey,
who was retired but came in to help with
advertising; and L. D.’s son, Don.”
In 1951 Yancey Bros. Co. relocated to a
twelve-acre site at 1540 Northside Drive
in Atlanta, and in 1957 the company
opened its second full-service product
support branch in Macon.
At that time Yancey represented
numerous companies and hundreds of
products, from air compressors to drills
to concrete buckets to rock crushers
to concrete mixing plants. “We sold
everything but the kitchen sink,” John
Taylor recalls. Then in 1957 Don Yancey,
who was vice president, made a decision
to drop every product line except
Caterpillar.
“Putting all our resources into selling
Caterpillar was a great decision,” John
says. “Caterpillar was a much better
investment for us than concrete plants.
The product line wasn’t as wide, but it
grew and we grew with it.”
Two years later Don was named president
of the company.

1914 marked the beginning of the World War I
when Wilson was President. American homes had no electricity
and no indoor plumbing. Few people had motorized automobiles.
The median annual income was less than $700, and the average
hourly rate for workers was $0.33.
When brothers Goodloe and Earle Yancey started Yancey Hardware
Company in 1914 in the heart of what is now downtown Atlanta,
hardly any roads in Georgia were paved beyond town limits.
County roads consisted of clay, dirt or shell and were maintained
by convict crews from the state prison. The population of the
Atlanta metro area was just over 500,000, with 2.7 million people
living throughout the state.
Goodloe and his wife Charm lived on Ponce de Leon Avenue less
thanahundredyardsfromtheconstructionsiteforthenewAtlanta
Ford Assembly Plant. Goodloe watched the plant’s construction
progress each day, as he and Earle built the family’s business to
provide the infrastructure these automobiles would require. When
the plant was completed, it produced 22,000 vehicles annually via
the assembly line and sold cars to Georgia residents for about
$500 each in the front showroom.
Goodloe and Earle’s business thrived. Yancey Hardware Company
served as the country’s only dealer of the Adams Mule Grader,
an early version of the motorgrader – a piece of earthmoving
equipment that was pulled by eight mules. The Yancey brothers’

yancey BROS. CO. NEWSLETTERDUMP HUNGER CAMPAIGN OVERVIEW
Safety Summit 2014
For the past several years we have gathered the leadership team
of Yancey Bros. Co. from the front line supervisor all the way
up to Jim Stephenson together for an entire day to discuss one
thing, SAFETY. This year was no exception. We do this for several
reasons. First, we want the message to be clear that safety is our
number one job. Second, we want to make sure that everyone
gets the same information at the same time with opportunities to
ask questions. Breakout sessions cover different topics that assist
supervisors in improving safety in the workplace. We recognize the
top safety performing stores and supervisors within the company.
And we discuss what we our focus will be in the coming year to
improve the safety culture at Yancey Bros. Co.
Summit Kickoff – This year Bo Smith, from Georgia Power, served
as our guest speaker. He was very engaging, entertaining and
drove home the message of how important safety is. He spoke of
the dangers of the job they do and what it is like to have a fellow
employee lose their life on the job. It was a powerful message that
made a big impact on many of the people in the audience.
Jim Stephenson’s message to the group was that while we are
in business to make a profit, the safety of our employees will not
be the cost of that profit. Our CFO Marshall Ford explained the
financial costs of injuries. He explained the cost of a large number
of injuries or even a small amount of more serious injuries is far
more costly to the company than taking a little more time to do
the job safely.
Breakout Sessions – There were 3 breakout sessions that
participants rotated through. One session taught supervisors how
to conduct a JSO (Job Safety Observation) by actually conducting
a JSO while technicians worked on equipment in the shop.
Another was a session led by the American Heart Association in
which the groups were given a brief lesson in first aid. The third
session was a presentation that covered near miss definition,
why near misses should be reported and how to report them.
The differences between recordable and non-recordable injuries,
crashes vs. property damage and an update on Pure Safety were
also covered in the presentation.
Recognition of Safety Excellence – Several stores had zero at fault
vehicle crashes or recordable injuries last year. Those stores were
recognized with plaques or additional hardhats for those plaques.
Eight supervisors were chosen as the top supervisors at Yancey
Bros.Co.intheireffortstowardasafeworkplace.Thesesupervisors
were graded on facility inspections and pure safety completion
percentages of their employees. None of their employees were
involved in an at fault crash or had any recordable injuries. The 8
supervisors are:
• Bobby Duncan – Columbus Earthmoving
• Danny West – Valdosta Earthmoving
• Justin Vogt – Macon YTC
• Kris LaFerriere – Griffin Test Cell
• Kevin Haflinger – Gwinnett Earthmoving
• Wade Forrester – McDonough Rebuild Center
• Gary Hemrick – Austell Earthmoving
• Ted Puls – Moreland Ave. YPS
Congratulations to the 8 top supervisors. Thank you for all that
you did last year to promote safety in the workplace.
The last part of the day we discussed the Cat Safety Perception
Survey Yancey employees took last year. We will be focusing our
attention on the results of the survey that identified areas for
improvement. ¢

Exploring the Underwater World
By Christian Ducleroir
I am a scuba diver, and this week I made my 100th dive. I first
tried the sport on a whim, but it quickly became a great passion
in my life. Scuba diving has changed me in many unexpected
ways; it’s impacted my relationships, improved my health, and
invigorated my free time.
It all began in February of 2011, when my family and I were
vacationing in Belize. A friend on that trip had been scuba diving
since the 1980s, and his enthusiasm for diving was infectious.
With the support of dive instructors, he invited us to gear up and
try breathing underwater. The minute I sunk below the surface
I knew I was hooked. In the sun-dappled Caribbean shallows, I
watched colorful fish hover on vibrant reefs in the near silence
of the sea, the only sound being the gurgle
of bubbles as they rose from my regulator.
A whole new world opened up for me that
day, a world I was eager to explore.
When we returned from Belize, I did a quick
Google search and found Dolphin Dive
Center (DDC) in Athens, GA. DDC is a full
service dive shop offering scuba certification
classes, gear sales and rental, and group
travel for scuba divers. That week, my wife
and I signed up for the basic Open Water
Certification course.
We immediately took to the sport. Our
eagerness sparked the interest of our
two children, who were 13 and 11 at the
time. Just weeks after we completed our
certification, we signed them up for the
class. During this exciting time, the whole
conversation in our home changed from ordinary topics to diving.
Instead of tuning in to mindless sitcoms in the evenings and on
weekends, we searched for documentaries about the world’s
oceans and marine life that populates them. We discussed
famous dive sites and planned more vacations than we’ll ever
have the time to take.
With my family, I have dived some amazing sites and drifted
alongside sea turtles, nurse sharks, barracuda, sting rays, tropical
fish and moray eels. We spent a week diving off the southern
coast of Turkey, where the Mediterranean floor is littered with
ancient amphorae from the Bronze Age that once held wine and
oils, as well as antiquities like ship anchors and sun dials. Another
weeklong vacation had us diving in the British Virgin Islands,
where the kids learned firsthand the differences between soft
coral and hard coral reefs. We also dive off the coast of Florida
every chance we get, and when we can’t get away for an extended
trip, we head up to Lake Jocassee or Lake Keowee in South
Carolina for some fresh water dives.
My wife and I have finished all the certifications available to
recreational divers, including Advanced Open Water, Diver Stress
and Rescue, and Nitrox. I have now begun my certifications on the
professional track. I am currently an Assistant Instructor, which
allowsmetohelpinstructorswhencertifying
new divers. It’s rewarding to be affiliated
with Dolphin Dive in this capacity, to work
with the same instructors who certified me
and share our passion with students every
month. There is nothing like the satisfaction
of watching an anxious student transform
into a comfortable, confident diver as he or
she glides, weightless, through the water.
My health has improved since I’ve become a
scuba diver. In the beginning, I was sucking
air at almost twice the rate as my wife. In
a buddy sport like scuba diving, you must
end a dive when one of your air supplies
gets low. I realized I needed to improve my
cardiovascular health in order to consume
air at a slower rate, thus extending our
bottom time. I started working out at the
gym, running outdoors, and eating a more
healthful diet. I dropped 30 pounds and now surface with the
same amount of air left in my tank as my wife.
Scuba diving has changed my life. My relationships with my family
are stronger, I’m healthier, and I’m happier. I encourage anyone
who is looking for his or her next great adventure to try the sport.
And I’m always looking for new dive buddies, so come with me
and I’ll introduce you to the wonderful underwater world, waiting
for you just below the surface. ¢
