Videos from San Marcos' 2018 State of the City Address 

Aaron Gobidas • March 8, 2018

Four Innovative San Marcos Businesses were Honored this Year with Awards and Videos created by GoBeRewarded.

After spending most of February shooting and editing a series of videos commissioned by the San Marcos Chamber of Commerce, our entire team attended this year's State of the City Address held at Cal State San Marcos where the videos (below) were played for over 300 city officials and local business leaders. Each video focused on a San Marcos business that was being recognized for innovation, growth, and community involvement. This project gave us access to business owners who are on the cutting edge of their industry; it was our pleasure to share their stories with the North County San Diego community.

Comment below with your thoughts on this year's State of the City Address or with names of businesses you think should be honored next year.

They want to know who they're doing business with, what to expect, and whether they can trust you before they ever pick up the phone.

The Rundown: What Is a Landing Page and Why It Matters

June 18, 2026
Not every page on your website has the same job. While your Home page, About page, and Services pages help visitors explore your business, a landing page is designed with a single goal: to get someone to take action. Whether you're running Google Ads, a social media campaign, or an email promotion, sending visitors to a dedicated landing page often leads to better results than sending everyone to your Home page.
