CMS Implementations Deck

We = your integrator.

This is very true. As a general rule, the people in this industry (and certainly everyone at Blend) does this because we love it. Either we love designing beautiful things, or we love managing content, or we love making the lives of content creators better. You don’t stay in this industry for purely transactional reasons.

When a new project would come in the door, it was never about the amount on the invoice. We would love projects because they were interesting or we loved the client or their mission.

At some level, I firmly believe that we just liked to make people’s lives better, to the point where it was sometimes a weakness – we would speak of the “White Knight Syndrome,” where someone (usually me) would wade into a daunting situation out of desire to be the valiant knight on the white horse, running to the rescue.

Honestly, those situations never really worked out that well. But it wasn’t for lack of passion for the work or the people.
