Roam member TITIN outfits winner of Masters

April 12, 2012

It was a big weekend for Masters’ winner, Bubba Watson and Roam member, Patrick Whaley.

Whaley is the creator of TITIN, a company that specializes in weighted athletic apparel. Their mission is “to provide innovative athletic apparel that is not just about the brand alone, but the science fueling the brand.” This patented apparel is said to increase “strength, speed, agility, and performance.” TITIN outfits sports teams from schools such as UGA and Georgia Tech, in addition to well known athletes. One of these athletes happens to be professional golfer, Bubba Watson, who wears TITIN apparel everyday to work on his swing. This product is fresh on the market, but it may be no coincidence that the year Watson began using TITIN, he won the Masters!

Roam congratulates Whaley and the TITIN team on this victory!

November 3, 2011

Speakers Jenny Munn

If the thought of implementing an SEO strategy seems too daunting for a small business owner like yourself, then this workshop is for you.

Rather than tell you what to do, we’re going to show you what to do (and what not to do) through case studies, examples, graphics, and stories. We’ll review the basic fundamentals of SEO and share action strategies that you can take away and implement immediately.

Get ready to take notes as we discuss the myths, misunderstandings and must-do action items to start kick-start an effective SEO strategy.

Bring your laptop, or go old school with pen and paper.     Please RSVP here: http://digitalatlanta2011.sched.org/event/e9847222ee53ba3504b6a3356da1a220
