Frank Eliason aka @comcastcares wrote a great post about business cards being passe. It got me thinking. Besides an ego trip, what is the point of business cards these days? – You can find me on twitter – If you text my name to 21691 you can get all my info (I know, snazzy that I […]
The study that has everyone ohhh and ahhh’ing this week? Well ladies and gentlemen, it’s: iPhone Users Recall Ads 21% better than non-iPhone users. To this I have one word: DUH. Let’s think: iPhone users only see ONE ad at a time The ad is big, colorful and annoying. Think pop-up ads when they first […]
This video made a lot of rounds this week, but it’s too funny not to post. The funniest things are based on reality… scary and true
I’ve been curious about where Generation Y is for quite some time. This post, has similar questions backed up with stats. I don’t get it. The majority of people I graduated college with aren’t on LinkedIn. The ones that are have all of 10 connections. None of my real life friends are on twitter. I’ve […]

But recently, I encountered the other type of agency. It’s still a gut feeling, but I feel I’m being taking for a ride. Maybe I’m taking it the wrong way, but […]
Last week, VP of Brand, Jordan Kretchmer, for Current sent out a RFP via Twitter. He’s calling it TwitteRFP. It’s been interesting, funny and sickening to watch. Here’s my take: What I Like: Obviously, something like this is in line with Current’s existing model and/or it’s in line with the goal of their RFP. It’s been […]
I’m not a fan of Domino’s Pizza. While I applaud their innovative marketing efforts, I’m just not a fan of their product. To be fair, I’m not a fan of Pizza Hut or Papa Johns either. However, I’m impressed with how quickly Domino’s handled their recent PR nightmare. If you haven’t heard or seen it, […]
Honestly, I hate linking to Seth Godin’s blog or mentioning one of his posts. To me, it’s too commonplace. Besides the fact that tons of people read his blog, Godin says what everyone else is thinking with much more eloquence and brevity. Everyone finds their own meaningful take away from each of his posts. So, of course, I’m […]
