Beyond ‘Professionalism’
August 29, 2008The Truth!
August 29, 2008
Guru Energy’s new ad says what’s on our minds about energy drinks!
Why not just say it like it is?
Coke is Pretty

Seinfeld is a PC
August 25, 2008
Jerry Seinfeld gets $10M in a $300M marketing campaign promoting Windows Vista.
Jerry has what is takes to pull this off. He’s one of the only people that has ever made Larry King stumble by confronting him. What’s Apple to do? Let’s hope this makes for a festive duel in the PC marketing realm.
Where eCommerce is going
August 18, 2008Why not make your ecommerce look like a real shelf in a store? Like Australian bag flogger Crumpler.
The Cool Hunter will make you feel cool
August 15, 2008This website is so random and stylin. It covers trendsetting stuff all over the world and I am always inspired by it. Scroll down and sideways.

Mini’s Beijing PR stunt – so cool
August 8, 2008Mini has a handful of rickshaws rolling around Beijing to draw attention to the Cooper Clubman launch.
The Draw To The Bread And Butter
August 1, 2008Jason Vance in Kelowna has a web design company. He recently launched an art/style/pop culture online magazine that focuses on the Okanagan, which has already had 2,000 downloads.
The magazine is so well done in so many ways; bold, powerful layout, diverse coverage, simple messaging. This no doubt magnifies Jason’s ability as a designer, and draws attention to his money maker – his web design company.
More companies need an alternative draw. I call it ‘the story behind the story’.
The New Oxymoron
August 1, 2008Someone emailed me this week, and it started: “Dear Valued Client”
Wow, I feel so valued. Oh except that you don’t even know my name.
I believe with new software and email formats, this type of generic blasting can be easily avoided.
Even “Hey everyone!” would be way better.
