A guy and his friend walk into a bar. The bartender says, “What’ll it be?” Guy #1 says, “Uhhh…”, looks around and sees the lone Corona sign in the bar. The guy points to the sign and says, “Well, I guess I’ll have a Corona.” The bartender hands Guy #1 a cold one, turns to […]
I still can’t get over how many people in the Interactive space don’t try out “new” things or even old ones (i.e. Facebook). Aren’t you supposed to be the poster child for interactive stuff? Doesn’t your company rely on you to provide them with a strategy for that space? How can you provide great strategy […]
I thought the 11th Hour was bad. But nope, the requests I got today were even better. Who knew? Apparently, my job description now includes script writing, movie directing and graphic designer. Setting: 8:45AM Friday. Phone call transferred to my cell phone. Person in Need (slightly paraphrased), “We’re presenting to 15 Presidents plus the VP’sand a […]
I can’t decide whether I’m annoyed or frustrated. Social Media and Web 2.0 have been around for a few years now, and yet everyone is still wishy washy about measurements. Okay, they’ve been around for more than a few years, but in the last year or so, BDC’s are finally understanding what “it” is. Still, […]
Moving always comes with the fun part of switching all your services, getting new services, etc. Below are just a few companies I’ve dealt with during my move. And yes, they ALL screwed up my changes one way or the other, albeit some got fixed faster than others. Comcast (TV and Internet) DHL FedEx Linksys Moving […]
I don’t know about you, but the buzz phrase, “Content is King” is getting pretty old. The next level of this is the context vs. content debate. Clearly, CP+B really took this concept to heart when creating the new Microsoft commercial with Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld. However, I don’t think it’s working too well for them… […]
So you can get a cool widget and make it move! Because I don’t sync my runs with Nike+, mine just sits on its lazy ass and stretches 🙁 Since Nike is apparently oh so smart for coming up with Nike+, you would think they’d make better sharing features. You know, like a Mini Me […]
While reading this, I stumbled upon this. Don’t ask me how. Anyway, The Top 10 Wishlist for Agencies of the Future was interesting, especially #3: Leverage Virtual Communities. Really? Um, okay. The list lost some credibility at that point, but, it also inspired me to make my own Wishlist (some “borrowed” from the original list): […]
I finally finished reading The Last Lecture. Emotionally, it was a tough book to read. But, among other things, it got me thinking a lot about “walls”. I’m good at breaking other people’s walls. I’m really good at breaking “physical” walls. And, I’m amazing at breaking the walls, no matter how tall, that get in the way […]
There’s a lot of things I’ll never understand. The below scenario is just one of them. Background: Strategic Planning is done EVERY year at the SAME time. For the most part, the timelines and order of events are the SAME. The fact that you have to put together a major presentation for #3 in the entire […]
