fireworksSearch marketing has a lot of important initials like SEM, SEO, SES, SMX, ROI, KPI, etc… However it’s that time of year when, on insistence from our families:), aimClear takes a few days off to indulge in other favorite initials, R&R.

A favorite summer holiday pastime in Duluth, Minnesota is watching grand fireworks over Lake Superior. We’re out of the office until Thursday morning, intent on trading analytics for corn on the cob and conference calls for the sandy beaches of Duluth’s Park Point.
