Daring advertisers and an ambitious ad design student

I saw this on TheCreativeBlog and the advertising component completely blew me away.  More companies should take such daring risks to make an impact and break through the clutter.  Images don’t have to be loaded or political to make an impact.  Visit the blog for more examples of excellent design and on the point strategic [...]

Agitation: WHY is your head so BIG? Why IS your head so BIIIG?

My job function at work is starkly different than anyone at the agency.  Everyone else focuses on public relations, media relations, award submissions and a list of way too long things that somehow all get to clients on time and pretty darn perfect.  My job is to do promotions, sales and PR for the company.  [...]

Ze sky… Eet iz falling!

 
Ninety percent of my day goes over without a hitch.  In fact, I think I’m taking charge of life, being more active at work, practicing my networking, getting involved in the community and generally trying to hang out with all my friends.  I’m hoping this is a trend that I’ll keep up.  Life’s keeping me [...]

Do you trust me?

 
I went to my first Churchill club event tonight all about trust especially pertaining to Web 2.0.  The panelists were very diverse including a renowned professor who wrote a book on influence and persuasion, Robert Cialdini; the chief privacy officer of Facebook, Chris who-should-deal-with-trust-of-Facebook-and-not-Facebook’s-attempt-to-deal-with-our-relationship-trust; a YPulse staffer, Anastasia; and a the CEO of Edelman, Richard.  [...]

Shoo be doo dum sho be doo be doo be dum

This seems very fitting:
(do do do dop)
(do do doop do doop da dum)
(do do doop dum)

and it seemed everlasting
that you would always be mine

so I’m letting you fly
cause i know in my heart babe

it just feels like you’ve given up and don’t even care anymore.

“Facebook now allows users to delete their data entirely from the site when they quit.”

Good riddance!  I blogged before about how I don’t want all these older professionals invading my social networks… but they did it anyway.  And a year later, they’re moving on to the next thing, only to leave us with a now spam-filled advertising hub that people aren’t interested in using anymore.

Yes, the ‘fun-filled’ zombie invites [...]

Pimp my bachelor pad: the almost results show!

There’s still the need for furniture and little decorative accessories, but we finally finished the walls and the floor and the electrical outlets in the last two weeks.  Of course by we, I mean Oscar and his team of hired electrician, floor guy and helpers and sometimes me standing around trying to look busy. [...]

Why hello, stranger! The earth says hellloooo…

As you all probably know, I’ve been spending a lot of time miniblogging and microblogging instead of writing full out entries.  It’s so convenient to be able to tag a picture from icanhascheezburger with a two line caption without inundating this blog with silly, short entries.

I do want to still update here on a regular basis [...]
