U-Tube?
August 27, 2010 – 8:01 am
Earlier this week I received an email about a client asking me if he should post a commercial on U-Tube. This proceeded to tell him it is YouTube and that it wouldn’t hurt to have his commercial on the social media website and that it would actually make it easier for us to post the [...]

August 20, 2010 – 9:14 am
A couple of months ago, I noticed the Luzianne Iced Tea billboard on my way home from work. A few days later, I heard a promotion on the radio station, B97, to keep an eye our for the billboards. Later, the radio DJ started giving clues and listeners had to guess the location of the [...]

Keeping Your Roots

One of the biggest complaints consumers have is that when a small company gets large and starts getting regional or national attention, the company sells their soul. You see this even more in the music industry when bands abandon their loyal, die hard fans and become commercial to sell more downloads & albums. Fans & [...]
Congrats to Facebook

Congratulations are in order. Facebook recently registered their 500 millionth member. I wonder if Facebook threw that person a party like the grocery stores used to do for their 1 millionth customer? Wow! The United States only has a touch over 300 million citizens according to Google Public Data. In a recent article on US [...]
