It’s rare these days that I post about a great marketing campaign. There just aren’t a lot these days. Most campaigns are cookie cutter or trying so hard to be cool while using the latest and greatest social media fad, that they just fail. But, Lexus’s #InstaFilm nails it.

Even with all our technological advances and upcoming innovations, nothing will ever compare to spending time with someone face to face.
Wow. I heard this song for the first time today and it struck me like an anvil to the heart. Love is a crazy thing. It’s what drives us all, at least, it’s what drives me. From swimming to where I live to what I want to do with my life, love is the driving […]
