The REAL problem with the Motrin ads…

Let’s be honest - when a 7.1 magnitude earthquake in Indonesia rocks the house, yet search.twitter.com pulls up #Motrinmoms as the lead story, somewhere, there’s a disconnect. But it’s a disconnect that, when you think about it, makes perfect sense.
I’m not siding with Motrin. They messed up, granted. I’m ok with that. Companies mess up […]



New Pepsi… Heard it here first

A messenger arrives at my apartment this morning with 5 6 empty cans of Pepsi, each one representing a different Pepsi logo, starting in 1890.
OK.
Twenty minutes later, he’s back, with a second delivery, 5 6 more empty cans of Pepsi, logos continuing up to present day.
OK.
Finally, he shows back up again. (By this time, Karma […]



The week of “Abstract Busy-ness”

First person who knows what the line “Abstract business” is from gets a HARO t-shirt.
Sitting outside the Huntington, LI Hilton, waiting to speak at the Long Island Public Relations Professionals breakfast this morning. “Breakfast” and “Driving to Long Island for” should never, ever be in the same sentence.

What the hell?! I thought Facebook lifted the cap?

Apparently, Facebook has not lifted the 5,000 friend cap, despite articles to the contrary. Damn it!
Well… I guess… Just hang out until they do? It’s not that I don’t want to be friends with you.

Holy crap, I’m on the front page of Mashable!

This kinda came as a shock! There was a Mashable reporter in the audience at today’s Executing Social Media Conference. My Keynote wound up being covered - Check this out!
Mashable, for the uninitiated, is the Social Media news authority.
Wow! Thanks to Jackie Peters for covering!
Wow. Humbling!



The Executing Social Media Conference, Pasadena, CA

So, I’m headed to LA, to keynote the Executing Social Media Conference over the next few days. Should be a lot of fun.
You there? Let me know, let’s connect.
There’ll also be a HARO happy hour on Wednesday night (where I’ll have club soda. Woo.) at Lucky
Baldwin, starting around 5:30pm. It’s at 17 South Raymond Avenue, […]



Some images from Ad:Tech, Spring 2008

Ad:Tech is over, a good show had by all, some spectacular food, drink, and the like. Good friends, one ridiculously hard early-morning workout… And in general, a good time. Exhausted, I sit in the SFO President’s Club, waiting on my CO flight back home.

Me and Charles Ruderman, showing the rest of the party what it […]
