  • The Minnesotan Community A few days ago, I returned from spending almost two weeks in the Twin Cities (mainly St. Paul) and its surrounds. I once again found the community to be compellingly different than anything else I've experienced (in a good way!). Posted on Sep 1, 2010

Sometimes they serve wine and bake cookies for their audience. They may ask the audience to pick up trash, or demand their help in a time of need. Read about more of their "big actions"...

  • Poetic Promotion: An Ode to Marketing Continuing the theme of Summer Simplification, let’s take a little trip to Marketing 101, where the seemingly indecipherable concepts under the umbrella of the vast field of marketing — Branding, Strategy, Advertising, PR, and the rest — get their own, well, stanza. Often when I’m meeting with a client, I reference a category of marketing, for [...] Posted on Aug 12, 2010
