NOTE: *I believe the title of this article can be attributed to economist Paul Romer.
As the economy liquefies in front of your eyes, it is hard to find anything positive in the gooey mess stuck to your shoes.
Cost structures have changed. Some of your customers simply disappeared overnight. The customers that are left now have [...]
The agency model is broken (post #2)
In one of my past posts, I wrote about the broken advertising agency model. In my previous rant I wrote about clients that hire agencies for more sales but manage the agency as a cost center instead of a revenue center. As a result, agencies default to what they know. The Tribble Agency compares agencies to diapers and recommends [...]

Finally get respect with the Bradley Wiltjer Pocket Protector
Professional men’s shirts have one flaw – they allow ink bleeding. Some ink bleeding sufferers have gone a whole day without being told that a pen burst in their pocket, resulting in snickering behind their backs, embarrassing gossip and constantly being the butt of cruel jokes.

Great news here about sacrificing goats to get an airplane back into the air.

Perhaps animal sacrifices could be applied to marketing problems? But if you do use this as a tactic, we recommend that the sacrifice match the problem. If an airplane the size of a [...]
