In this episode I talk with Mark McDonough about Instagram Strategies That Rock. Mark is the founder and editor of the “Tastefully Inspired” blog and the curator of the Instagram feed for “Tastefully Inspired”.

Mark’s skills and experience blend a very deep understanding of how the internet and social media work at the bits and bytes level.

With over 20 years of marketing expertise growing brands and making them explode online, Mark brings his expertise to the digital world. He has worked building the brands of various top designers as well as manufacturers like Restoration Hardware, Global Views, Studio A Home and Rocky Mountain Hardware.

Mark believes the world of design is changing and good design more than ever needs to be seen. This is why he decided to create Tastefully Inspired to showcase the true tastemakers.
