Feel Good Video on YouTube has over 6 million views
Below is an embedded video from YouTube. The link has been circulating for a little while now, but it is quickly picking up steam. Maybe it’s the message of hope that we all need to hear so badly in these trying times. Maybe it’s the daedal presentation. Maybe it’s another sign [...]
We’re All Sissies, So Make It Work For You
Almost three years ago, the stock market was raging forward, consumers were buying their second and third homes, waiters were being tipped 25-35%, and people were thinking their next raise was on the horizon. People were fearless.

It comes down to this bellwether: if big name (big brand) universities do not adapt then smaller ones will come up from behind to take the lead, or at least diminish their perceived value — exactly like blogs and social media has done for mainstream media.
It Doesn’t Matter That I Don’t Like Twitter
Dr. Parker was one of my better advertising professors in college. He was a rather gruff, but loving man who knew a lot about advertising and always had to make sure we didn’t forget it. Probably the best lesson I learned from him was that when it came to advertising, it didn’t matter [...]
