Just in 1 Week – Bernard L. Madoff – Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich of Illinois – Wal-Mart

Greed is good.  This is a story for the ages, however I bet there are people in the Fed stealing more.  Imagine what you could do with $50 Billion?  How many people can you feed and house?  How many people could you educate?  It is mind blowing, Wall St has done it again, fleeced the [...]

“Monetize the real estate in which somebody is breaking up with their girlfriend?”

In this AdAge.com article I can see that Mr. Ted McConnell, general manager-interactive marketing and innovation at Procter & Gamble Co. has an issue with banner ads on Facebook for his branded products.  It sounds to me a bit emotional and at the same time practical.  At the end of the day all of us [...]

The real secret of life is the participation in it, not the imagination of it

Listen to the Part II interview first. In my experience I have been part of companies that have succeeded fantastically and failed fantastically.  One common theme between them all is how much the company succeeds or fails is in direct relation to the growth of their leadership, mine included.  Guy Finley says that if there [...]

Usless E-mail Marketing by a Major Airline

For the past few years I have been a frequent flyer MileagePlus on United Airlines, however not lately.  I live in the Boston area, they know that…..please take note the airport code is BOS.  I can’t figure out why they market United E-Fares flights from places like Boise (BOI) to San Francisco (SFO) to me?  [...]

Old Spaces – New Messages Billboards and E-mail Ad Servers

I love coming across new ideas like this.  I was reading an article where a company called Interference, Inc. creates ads where there were no ads.  They carved out a new space, a truly new advertising medium.  This can be called guerilla marketing sice the space is not really rented out, it could be the [...]
