Cheapertising is the creation of Mickey Hodges, a marketing maven, creative director and copywriter. He’s seen the good, the bad and the smugliness of advertising for over 25 years. And he’s convinced it won’t take long for the New Marketing to take over. In the meantime, there’s plenty to talk about….
Before his career in marcomm, Hodges served as the chief writer and first editor of Timeless Insights (now called Closer Walk), a monthly devotional guide published by Walk Thru the Bible Ministries. His work also appears prominently in the Closer Walk New Testament (Zondervan, 1990).
A Phi Beta Kappa and magna cum laude graduate in Classical Languages at Furman University, he holds a Master of Arts in Classics from Vanderbilt University. Hodges also translates ancient Greek and biblical texts (particularly Byzantine liturgical hymns) for the Orthodox Church, including parts of the recently published Orthodox Study Bible (Spring ‘08/Thomas Nelson). In the past, he has served on the boards of Mid-South Christian Services and the Dyslexia Foundation of Memphis, as well as on the parish council at St. John Orthodox Church. He tries to stay young by working with college students as a member of the board of directors of Orthodox Christian Fellowship (ocf.net).
