The comic trend has surfaced in business book summaries, so why not spice up a best practice blog with a superhero.  "We are still getting valuable business information out – just in a fresh format," said Kate Koziol, president of K Squared Communications. The online program will be supported with offline campaigns including a superhero ring similar to the "X-ray vision glasses" offer in old school comic books.

Accompanying the superhero is a new way to help executives overcome "blog envy."  Many executives know they should be blogging, or are getting pressured, a.k.a. flogging, or are unable keep their current blog up to date so K Squared has rolled out the first of its MicroPromotion® programs.  The "Blogging without Flogging" program runs smoothly with as little as a 15-minute monthly commitment from a company.  "We support many company blogs and social media efforts and now we've put it into an easy-to-use program," added Koziol.  "We can handle the process from the first topic brainstorm, through the ongoing effectiveness tracking."  The MicroPromotion programs also include advanced blog support or streamlined news development and distribution services and prices start at $500 per month.
