You couldn’t turn a corner in the office a few months ago without running into a pregnant lady. In fact, I was one of three in the marketing team sporting a baby bump last fall (don’t drink the water, folks). Because our son Patrick is our first, I had absolutely no idea what it would [...]

Daxko has done it again. In yesterday’s Las Vegas Review-Journal, in reporter Tom Haynie’s article “It’s Not Just About the Money”, Daxko was lauded as being a trend-setting company offering “creative” benefits.

Short, sweet and to the point. That describes Fantasy Island’s character Tattoo (what gets to the point better than “de plane, de plane”). And so is Daxko’s social media “policy” I’m about to lay on you. Here it is… Daxko Social Media Guidelines have fun use common sense don’t be hurtful; reflect Daxko’s core [...]
