Moving Brands/Moving World

Kinda makes me want to run away to the mountains … and not just b/c of Obama :-) What an overwhelming video. I think I just had an epileptic seizure! Wow! I hope we can disseminate the useful information in today's day-in-age. There's so much out there. Fwew.

Glad I Use Protection!

I think I now have to swear by iSkin. This is the second time it's protected my iPhone. My pics were a bit blurry compared to a friend of mine's pics he took with his iPhone. So I decided to take a close look at my lens cover. Dusty? No.

Scratched? See for yourself.

This would be my camera lens would it not have been for the iSkin's lens cover.

So Much Work, So Little Time


Oh wait ... it doesn't take only 2 minutes to design a logo and brand identity? :-) Wow! What an awesome show of performance. What a TON of work! May we all put in this much effort into what we do. Not effort for effort's sake, but for the good of our clients.

Stained Chimney Reputation

Saw this sign exiting the highway onto Broadway. It's, what appears to be, one of Ambassador Painters' yard signs that a disgruntled customer spray-painted on an orange warning triangle and affixed an 8.5"xll" sheet of paper that reads "STAINED MY CHIMNEY!"

I love seeing stuff like this. Guerrilla marketing from the consumer -- I mean, I don't think ad agencies can come up with this stuff! Unless an agency did(for one of Ambassador Paintings' direct competitors), in which case, that's really smart! In either case, it's awesome!

The next time I need my house painted, I know just who not to call. And if enough people have that same experience, do you think they'll survive for long? I don't. Good luck Ambassador, and I hope your PR dept is taking notes.
