Ask my parents - my father, specifically… I was not an easy child to wake. My dad would resort to a host of tricks when his basic "get up or you’re gonna be late" didn’t work. Tickling, turning up the AM radio loud, even one time, dumping an entire pot of cold water on me […]
Update: Jennifer emailed a brief apology to the reporter - Which was well said. And as it turns out, the PR from the email mistake is actually help her - she’s apparently landed an interview or two for her client.
Regardless - And this isn’t just to Jennifer, but to everyone: CHECK YOURSELF before you hit […]
American Madness has a spectacular memo to Wall Street Journal reporters on what they need to know now that the deal is done.
I want to work for this company.
This is NOT safe for work. Do NOT click if you’re at an office that monitors you.

You get to work with her, and she’s exceptionally cool - but you also get to work on REALLY fun accounts. And because it’s a big agency, you get good backing, and get to pitch big corporate accounts.

I’m just kidding. That’s not why I’m attending the 2007 BlogHer conference in Chicago, weekend after next. I’m attending to meet up with my client, FlavorX. In addition, lots of my favorite bloggers will be there, including Pamela, Crank, and a whole host of others. So it should be nice to catch up.
You going? Let […]
Sitting here waiting for my 2pm meeting, I came across an article by Stephanie Armour in today’s USA Today, that talks about Jennifer Cohen, a 24-year-old marketing (read: PR) exec who was "shocked" to find that her Bermuda shorts, sleeveless tops and capris were deemed inappropriate in the office.
The article goes on to say how […]
Not for nothing, but you’d think Ronnie and Richard (hey, I kinda like that - sorta like a novelty stage troupe) could learn to iron out their differences in ANY kind of more private way than email.
But then, what do I know? I just share a Gawker category with them. I’m nowhere near as cool […]
